About the Role
First Resonance is seeking a Product Manager – Supply Chain to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of our supply chain and inventory management product capabilities. You will translate deep supply chain and manufacturing insights into intuitive, high-impact software solutions. Our PMs are technically hands-on, comfortable analyzing data, building functional prototypes, navigating APIs, and occasionally pushing code. You will join a high-impact product team working directly with engineers, factory planners, procurement teams, and hardware leaders.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for our supply chain, procurement, inventory, and traceability modules.
- Define and champion the roadmap for supply chain capabilities aligned with high-tech hardware manufacturing needs.
- Partner directly with supply chain directors, procurement leads, inventory managers, and manufacturing engineers to understand operational pains and design software solutions.
- Translate complex hardware supply chain logic into clear technical specs, wireframes, and functional prototypes.
- Work closely with engineering to build, test, and ship high-quality features.
- Engage in modern, technical product development workflows, including building functional prototypes, running data queries, and contributing directly to the product codebase.
- Conduct field research, iterative prototyping, and user acceptance testing to simplify complex, legacy workflows.
- Analyze user behavior, inventory flow metrics, and customer feedback to measure feature impact and validate hypotheses.
- Collaborate across Engineering, Product Design, Customer Success, and Sales to ensure our supply chain offerings deliver measurable ROI and seamless onboarding.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in Product Management, Supply Chain Operations, Industrial Engineering, or related technical fields, with exposure to software development environments.
- Strong knowledge of manufacturing supply chain operations (e.g., procurement workflows, inventory/WMS logic, bill of materials, component traceability, vendor management).
- Comfortable with modern software technical concepts, APIs, database/data structure principles, and eager to work in an environment where PMs push code, run scripts, or build functional prototypes.
- Proven track record of taking product features from initial customer research and requirements gathering through delivery, launch, and post-release iteration.
- Ability to map out complex multi-party workflows down to edge cases and systemic dependencies.
- Excellent ability to speak fluently with both factory-floor specialists/supply chain directors and software engineers.
- Thrives in an agile startup environment with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
- Hands-on experience with hardware/manufacturing supply chain software, such as ERPs (e.g., NetSuite, SAP), MES, PLM, or specialized inventory/procurement systems.
- Practical coding experience (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL) or a background in Software/Industrial Engineering.
- Experience utilizing AI-assisted tools for rapid prototyping, specification drafting, and data analysis.
- Experience working directly with advanced hardware manufacturing sectors (e.g., aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, or robotics).
