The Senior Product

Manager – Manufacturing & Inventory Technology will serve as the primary point of accountability for manufacturing and inventory system capabilities within our operational technology ecosystem, including Acumatica and related integrations. This role is responsible for ensuring requirements are clearly defined, system configurations are executed effectively, priorities are managed, dependencies are resolved, and post–go-live performance is owned. The position spans the full lifecycle from implementation through stabilization and continuous improvement.

The ideal candidate is a strong operator, doer, and “closer” who can work effectively in ambiguity, influence cross-functional partners without formal authority, and bring structure to complex operational and technical challenges. Candidate will also mentor and enable team members with limited manufacturing experience, helping them adopt and execute new processes effectively. They will operate confidently across executive stakeholders, technical teams, vendors, and frontline users, balancing strategic intent with hands-on execution to ensure manufacturing and inventory systems enable efficiency, accuracy, scalability, and growth in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment.
