About the Role

We're looking for a Product Manager II to join our Parts Product team and help build the next generation of B2B wholesale, warehouse/inventory management, and AI-powered product capabilities.

In this role, you'll own key product capabilities across wholesale order management, fulfillment, and inventory operations, while identifying opportunities to leverage AI and automation to solve complex business problems.

You'll work closely with customers, Engineering, Design, AI/ML teams, and cross-functional partners to discover opportunities, define scalable solutions, and deliver measurable business outcomes.

The ideal candidate brings strong product ownership, analytical thinking, customer empathy, and a bias for action, along with hands-on experience building and launching AI-powered product features in B2B SaaS or enterprise software environments.

What You'll Do

• Own product capabilities end-to-end: Drive discovery, requirements, prioritization, development, launch, and adoption for defined wholesale, warehouse/inventory management, and AI-powered workflows.

• Build AI-powered product experiences: Identify opportunities to leverage generative AI, intelligent automation, and predictive insights to simplify workflows, improve decision-making, and enhance user productivity.

• Solve meaningful customer problems: Engage with dealership users, enterprise customers, and internal stakeholders to understand operational challenges, identify root causes, and translate insights into scalable product solutions.

• Shape product direction: Partner with product leadership to contribute to roadmap priorities, evaluate opportunities, and make informed trade-offs based on customer and business impact.

• Drive product execution: Collaborate closely with Engineering, Design, QA, and AI/ML teams to define clear requirements, user journeys, acceptance criteria, and deliver high-quality solutions.

• Build for scale: Design intuitive, efficient workflows supporting high-volume wholesale transactions, order fulfillment, inventory visibility, and multi-location operations.

• Deliver measurable outcomes: Define and track product success metrics, including adoption, operational efficiency, fulfillment accuracy, AI effectiveness, and customer satisfaction.

• Champion product quality and customer success: Partner with implementation, support, and customer-facing teams to ensure successful launches, resolve critical product gaps, and continuously improve the customer experience.

• Bring market and technology insights: Stay informed about B2B wholesale distribution, warehouse/inventory management, generative AI, AI agents, and emerging enterprise technologies to identify product innovation opportunities.

What You'll Bring

• 3–5 years of relevant experience, preferably including hands-on product management and ownership of B2B SaaS or enterprise software capabilities.

• Hands-on experience building and launching AI-powered product features, with demonstrated ability to translate business problems into practical AI use cases and measurable customer value.

• Working knowledge of generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, and intelligent automation, including an understanding of their capabilities, limitations, and applicability to enterprise workflows.

• Strong understanding of at least one relevant domain: wholesale distribution, order management, warehouse/inventory management, supply chain, logistics, or commerce.

• Demonstrated ability to independently drive product features from problem discovery through delivery, launch, and adoption.

• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate complex workflows, prioritize opportunities, and make data-informed decisions.

• Experience translating business problems into clear product requirements, user experiences, and actionable engineering deliverables.

• Ability to collaborate with Engineering and AI/ML teams to evaluate AI solution feasibility, define success criteria, and ensure reliable, scalable product experiences.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical and business teams.

• A customer-first mindset, strong accountability, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Bonus Points

• Experience with vertical SaaS or enterprise applications supporting industry-specific operational workflows.

• Experience building AI-powered enterprise solutions, including AI copilots, agentic workflows, intelligent recommendations, or automation, with familiarity in LLMs, RAG, and AI evaluation frameworks.

• Product management experience in warehouse/inventory management, procurement, supply chain, order management, or ERP systems.

• Knowledge of automotive dealership operations, dealership management systems (DMS), or automotive parts management.

• Experience with integrations and workflows spanning multiple functional areas within an enterprise platform.
