Product Manager, Inventory & Orders

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Create comprehensive user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specifications for functionalities such as safety stock threshold settings, order-at-risk dashboards, and AI-driven stock transfer recommendations.

• Convert unclear customer needs into structured, engineering-ready backlog items with well-defined scope boundaries.

• Manage sprint-level backlog grooming in collaboration with the engineering manager, ensuring that tickets are well-defined and prioritized prior to each cycle.

• Independently conduct structured discovery sessions with supply chain planners, procurement leads, and operations teams.

• Transform raw customer feedback, field notes, and survey data into prioritized problem statements and product hypotheses.

• Maintain an ongoing feedback loop with pilot customers during initial rollouts, identifying adoption gaps and presenting them as actionable product enhancements.

• Oversee integration requirement specifications, defining the flow of data from ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), warehouse management systems, and demand planning tools into FourKites through flat-file SFTP, API, and EDI.

• Collaborate with Solutions Engineering to assess integration feasibility, data freshness criteria, and schema mapping during pre-sales and onboarding processes.

• Identify and escalate data quality risks that may affect dashboard accuracy during early customer implementations.
