Job Title: Senior Product Manager

Location: Dallas, TX or Nashville, TN

Salary: $125K - $140K

Position Summary: Are you a Product Manager looking to contribute significantly to a growing product strategy team and own the destiny of your products? In this role, you will drive cross-functional collaboration with stakeholders and the leadership team to enhance existing products and create and launch new products. You will have unfettered access to our customers and teams with the mandate to foster, ideate, design, and launch disruptive products. Our goals are to help transform and reshape our industry. We are enhancing our core platform software to add app/feature on-ramps and flywheel options to capture up and downstream partners in our existing customer’s supply chains. As the Senior Product Manager/Owner, you will help set product strategy and help build and drive the roadmap to realize success for our customers. Make a difference. Engage. Apply today!

What you’ll do: Our days and duties can vary. In this role, you will primarily be responsible for the following duties:

• Develop and refine software products and solutions to enhance the reverse logistic process for our connected-device customers (e.g. T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Dell, etc.).
• Advance unique solutions and move beyond the current state supply chain leveraging our platform and robotic automation to provide better decision-making abilities to our clients -- think beyond “what is” to “what might be”
• Ideate, define, and promote product and process vision and strategy for connected device lifecycle from manufacturing and certification to retail to forward and reverse logistics, including data (data is big!)
• Drive core product messaging and positioning
• Manage the product roadmap
• Gather, document, negotiate, and prioritize product and customer requirements
• Launch, grow, and refine products
• Become an expert with respect to competitive solutions

What you’ll need: We come together to deliver for each other and our customers, and we know there are many paths to performing well. That having been said, we rely on you to come up to speed fast and deliver great work without too much guidance, so we think it would be hard to do that without:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or another relevant field. A Master's degree is a plus. Relevant experience may substitute for degrees.
• 8 years of overall progressive experience, including 5 years of progressive product management experience (ideally in the supply-chain sector, including warehouse and inventory management)
• 1 years of product management experience with mobile/connected devices, similar consumer electronics, and/or SaaS products.
• Demonstrated success bringing new mobile/tech/SaaS customer-facing products or services to market by driving product requirements through development team(s) using an iterative process
• Willingness to think beyond conventional limitations and create disruptive solutions
• Highly self-motivated with an entrepreneurial spirit
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to communicate across multiple organizational levels
• Product experience with mobile/connected devices is highly desirable

Our Core Values:

• Hooked on customers. Our passion for innovation propels our customers forward. We thrive on solving our customers’ problems, big and small.
• We communicate confidently and with generosity. We not only spread ideas, but we also spread understanding to help every team succeed.
• Champion the use of data. We use data to build solutions to problems, promote collaboration, and inform decisions for us and our customers.
• Proudly accountable. We follow through because the alternative is not an option. Every word, every action, and every result reflect the improvements we seek to make.
• Be you. We bring our whole selves to our work, our teams, and our customers. The collective ‘we’ will shine bright for all to see.
• I have your back. Trust and respect each other to do the right thing when someone needs an extra hand. We go farther together than we do alone.
• It matters how we show up. Sometimes bold, sometimes brave, always curious. We expect more of ourselves to be our best for the team.

What you can expect from us:

• Generous holidays plus your birthday off.
• Paid parental leave benefits.
• Casual dress.
• A company-paid Google Pixel phone or a monthly tech stipend that you can use for your tech needs.
• A monthly wellness stipend that you can use for things like a meditation app, standing desk, gym equipment, etc.
• 401(k) matching up to 4% or a 5% pension plan for employees of the UK.
• Up to $5,250/year for certification, continuing education, and tuition reimbursement.
• Competitive package with benefits.
