Product Manager

We are modernizing core operational systems that power our main business models across clients, distributors, suppliers, and internal teams. We are looking for a strong mid-level Product Manager to own a critical workflow stream within a broader systems transformation initiative. This role sits at the center of a multi-phase platform evolution and will shape how our operational systems scale over the next several years. This role reports directly to the Product Lead and works closely with Engineering, UX, and Business stakeholders.

Your scope will include:

• Designing and structuring complex, rule-based workflows
• Building tools that replace manual and spreadsheet-driven processes
• Developing pricing and comparison logic frameworks
• Supporting automated contract and documentation generation
• Translating business rules into scalable system functionality

As the initiative evolves, you will also co-own:

• The design and expansion of external-facing portals
• Structured user flows for suppliers and distributors
• Permission models and role-based access
• Visibility and reporting experiences for external partners
• Workflow automation between internal teams and external stakeholders
• Your work will integrate tightly with foundational platform architecture defined by the Product Lead.

This position is remotely based. We are unable to offer work sponsorship for this role.
