BackOps AI is an AI logistics companion that automates operational tasks for supply chain and logistics companies. It acts as an AI-powered ops team, handling tasks, resolving customer issues, and suggesting process improvements. The platform connects to over 100 WMS platforms, communication channels, and portals to ingest data. Users configure the system by feeding it their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in various formats (PDFs, text, MP3s). BackOps AI then automates routine tasks, escalates complex issues to humans, and resolves end-to-end issues by following SOPs. It can handle order entry, claims handling, order status inquiries, reshipment requests, quote requests, and invoice requests. The company emphasizes its "human in the loop" approach, allowing for team oversight and approvals. BackOps AI is built by a team with experience from major tech companies like Amazon, Apple, and Meta, focusing on solving complex logistics problems and edge cases. Their business model is primarily SaaS, offering automation that integrates with existing tech stacks.

About BackOps
BackOps AI is transforming supply chain operations with agentic AI solutions that automate complex workflows, freeing operations teams to focus on what matters most. Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with flexible remote-friendly options, we foster a culture of innovation, ownership, and measurable impact.
We’re hiring our first Product Marketing Lead to define how BackOps goes to market. This role will own positioning, messaging, and GTM strategy end-to-end—working directly with the founders to shape how we tell our story, reach customers, and drive growth.
This is a rare opportunity to build product marketing from the ground up at a fast-growing startup, with real ownership and impact from day one.
The Role
As Product Marketing Lead, you’ll sit at the intersection of product, sales, and customers. You’ll translate a complex, technical platform into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with enterprise supply chain and operations leaders—and turn those narratives into repeatable GTM motions that drive pipeline and adoption.
You’ll be both strategic and hands-on: defining the “why” and “who,” then rolling up your sleeves to execute.
