Senior Product Manager (Marketplace)

Traba is building the AI operating layer for the light industrial supply chain. The company began by solving contingent labor challenges for manufacturing and logistics customers and has expanded into broader operational workflows. By connecting systems across facilities and activating workers already on the platform, Traba develops applied AI solutions that improve productivity and operational efficiency.

The Role

The product is the labor itself: the workers matched and deployed into warehouses and manufacturing facilities across the country. Every product decision impacts supply, demand, fulfillment, customer outcomes, and marketplace health.

Traba is seeking an entrepreneurial and experienced Product Manager to own and evolve the staffing product at the center of its marketplace. The role involves working across both sides of the marketplace: enterprise customers operating distribution centers and manufacturing facilities, and the workers whose reliability drives customer success.

The Product Manager will collaborate with software engineers, product designers, data analysts, operations teams, and field teams to design, build, and deploy practical solutions into industrial facilities. This role reports directly to the VP of Product.

• Architect and steward product strategy across staffing and marketplace workflows
• Solve marketplace problems by balancing customer needs, operational realities, and business outcomes
• Write detailed product requirements and partner closely with engineering teams
• Build systems that improve marketplace liquidity, fulfillment, matching quality, and operational efficiency
• Use data to uncover patterns and answer marketplace and customer questions
• Translate operational complexity into scalable product systems
• Scale operations through internal tooling and technical solutions
• Launch and iterate products across customers, regions, and operational environments
• Visualize and communicate complex systems, workflows, and product strategies
• Collaborate across teams and synthesize stakeholder feedback

What we’re looking for

• Customer-obsessed approach with direct engagement with users on both sides of the marketplace
• AI-native operating style with hands-on prototyping and technical collaboration
• Deep experience in two-sided marketplaces with supply and demand dynamics
• Experience building enterprise B2B products with operational complexity
• First-principles thinking and systems-level product judgment
• Experience building operational systems and internal tools
• Builder mentality with comfort operating in ambiguity and fast-moving environments
• Strong collaboration skills across product, engineering, data, operations, sales, and leadership teams

What you’ll bring

• 5 - 7 years of experience as a Product Manager
• Evidence of shipping products that materially improved business outcomes
• Strong experience in two-sided marketplaces
• Experience building enterprise products with multi-stakeholder customers
• Experience building operational tooling or systems
• Strong technical fluency and ability to work deeply with engineering teams
• Startup experience with strong ownership and execution
• Desire to work across a broad range of responsibilities
• Strong work ethic and interest in building a category-defining company
