About the role

As we expand our Warehouse, Inventory, and Fulfillment/3PL initiatives, we are seeking a Contract Senior Product Manager to support delivery of several high-impact priorities on our 2026 roadmap.

These domains require senior product leadership to independently own strategy and execution, translate complex operational workflows into scalable product solutions, and partner closely with Engineering, Operations, and Go-to-Market teams to reduce delivery risk and ensure timely execution against business goals.
