Associate Product Manager

If you’re someone who likes to roll up your sleeves, connect dots across a business, and see your work come to life in the market, this role will feel like home. We’re looking for an Associate Product Line Manager to take ownership of our BProAuto product portfolio—someone who enjoys the challenge of moving products from concept to customer, and who thrives in an environment where no two days look the same.

What You’ll Do

This role sits at the center of our product value chain. You’ll be the key driver behind the strategy, development, and success of the BProAuto product line. On any given day, you may find yourself:

• Shaping new product strategies and guiding items through launch—from early concept discussions through go-to-market execution.
• Coordinating with vendors, key accounts, supply chain partners, and internal teams to keep product plans aligned, on track, and well-communicated.
• Building and presenting product business cases, including financial analysis and supply-chain improvement opportunities.
• Supporting promotions, timing launches, and maintaining updated product bulletins to ensure the field always has accurate information.
• Acting as a bridge between internal groups and external customers—especially dealerships, independent repair facilities, and distributors—to identify opportunities and strengthen product adoption.

You’ll collaborate with multiple departments daily and work in an environment where we value initiative, curiosity, and the drive to improve both our products and our processes.

What We’re Looking For

This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who’s ready to grow—someone with enough experience to contribute right away but not so much that they’re set in their ways. If you’re naturally inquisitive, organized, and comfortable juggling competing priorities, you’ll fit in well here.

Must Haves:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Engineering, or a related field.
• 1–5 years of experience in product management, supply chain, engineering, or a similar discipline.
• Strong multitasking, prioritization, and project management skills.
• Able to balance day-to-day tactical work while contributing to long-term strategy and process improvements.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. (SAP experience is a bonus, not a requirement.)
• Excellent communication skills—comfortable interacting with peers, leadership, vendors, and external partners.
• A genuine desire to learn, grow, collaborate, and work in a fast-paced global environment.

Work Environment

We operate in a hybrid model—typically in the office Monday through Wednesday—but there’s some built-in flexibility. During onboarding, you may spend additional days onsite to get fully ramped up and familiar with the team.
No driving is required for this position.
Travel is minimal, limited mainly to our annual industry event in Las Vegas.
