You'll shape the roadmap, drive the data and modeling strategy, and ensure these capabilities become a true competitive moat as we scale.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role. You'll work directly with customers, collaborate closely with software engineering and UI/UX design, and report to the VP of Product. If you thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and want to build something that fundamentally changes how manufacturers source, this is the role.

Responsibilities:

Own Supplier Discovery

• Drive the product roadmap.
• Prioritize based on customer impact, business value, and platform leverage.
• Balance near-term customer needs with long-term data strategy and scalability.

Build the Supplier Discovery Engine

• Expand supplier search and matching capabilities by manufacturing process, capability, capacity, geography, certifications, and risk profile.
• Develop supplier qualification and assessment workflows enabling procurement and supplier quality teams to evaluate and onboard suppliers efficiently.
• Build supplier database management tools ensuring customers can maintain, enrich, and leverage their supplier data over time.
• Enable geographic and regional filtering to support nearshoring, reshoring, and supply chain diversification strategies.
• Integrate risk profiling financial health, geopolitical exposure, ESG factors, and supply chain resilience indicators.

Build & Scale Digital Factory Models

• Drive the strategy for building and maintaining True ValueHub's proprietary digital factory models representing supplier facilities and regional manufacturing benchmarks.
• Enable accurate cost simulation and manufacturing process modelling that powers True ValueHub's should cost engine.
• Expand regional coverage ensuring digital factories reflect the global manufacturing landscape (North America, Mexico, China, India, Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond).
• Partner with data and research teams to continuously update and validate factory models against real-world supplier and market data.

Drive Platform Integration

• Ensure tight integration with the Cost Engineering module digital factory models must seamlessly power should cost analysis.
• eRFX module integration discovered and qualified suppliers should flow directly into sourcing events.

Go Deep with Customers

• Conduct customer interviews, discovery calls, and on-site visits to understand how procurement, sourcing, engineering, and supplier quality teams find and evaluate suppliers.
• Understand customer pain points around supplier data quality, regional sourcing decisions, and cost benchmarking.
• Translate customer insights into clear product requirements and user stories.

Collaborate Cross-Functionally

• Partner with software engineering to deliver high-quality releases on time.
• Work closely with data science and research teams to build intelligent matching algorithms and maintain accurate factory models.
• Collaborate with the Cost Engineering and eRFX product teams to ensure a cohesive platform experience.
• Align with sales, customer success, and marketing to support go-to-market efforts and gather feedback from the field.

Drive Execution

• Define clear success metrics and track product performance post-launch.
• Run sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release coordination.
• Communicate progress, trade-offs, and decisions clearly to stakeholders at all levels.

Build & Lead (as the team grows)

• Mentoring, hiring, and leading product leads as the modules scale.
• Establish best practices for product development within your domain.

Qualifications:

Experience

• 8+ years of product management experience, with a strong track record of owning and scaling B2B SaaS products.
• Deep domain expertise in manufacturing, procurement, sourcing, or supply chain ideally with direct experience in supplier management, supplier discovery platforms, or manufacturing cost modeling.
• Experience building data-intensive products you understand how to source, structure, validate, and leverage complex datasets.
• Familiarity with global manufacturing landscapes regional cost structures, supplier ecosystems, and sourcing dynamics across North America, Asia, and Europe.

Skills

• Strong business and customer orientation you start with the problem, not the solution.
• Ability to translate complex, multi-stakeholder workflows into clear product direction.
• Excellent communication skills written, verbal, and visual. You can present to executives, whiteboard with engineers, and facilitate workshops with customers.
• Comfort with data you use metrics to inform decisions and measure success.
• Technical fluency you can engage deeply with engineers on APIs, integrations, data models, and workflow automation.

Mindset

• Thrives in fast-paced, startup-like environments with evolving priorities and ambiguity.
• Bias toward action you move quickly, learn fast, and iterate.
• Collaborative and low ego you build trust across teams, functions, and even with external suppliers.
• Curious and customer obsessed you dig until you understand the real problem, for both internal users and suppliers.

Education

• Engineering degree required (Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, or related field).
• MBA or advanced degree is a plus, but not required.

Bonus Points

• Experience building or working with supplier databases, supplier networks, or procurement platforms.
• Background in manufacturing cost estimation, should-cost modeling, or parametric costing.
• Familiarity with specific manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, casting, injection molding, electronics assembly, etc.).
• Experience with data enrichment, third-party data integration, or building proprietary datasets.
• Understanding of nearshoring/reshoring trends and regional supply chain dynamics.
