Product Owner - Inventory Optimization

About the role

We exist to transform our customers and change lives. As the Product Owner for Inventory Optimization, you will champion the user in every product decision, turning strategy into velocity, owning prioritization, building customer relationships, and aligning teams to move the product forward.

Responsibilities

• Champion the user in every product decision — develop a deep understanding of inventory planners, buyers, and supply chain teams and advocate for their experience.
• Turn strategy into velocity — translate strategic goals into precise functional specs and user stories that give engineering the clarity to build the right thing, fast.
• Own prioritization without hesitation — make tough, data-informed calls balancing new feature development, system stability, and customer-reported issues.
• Build customer relationships that shape the roadmap — engage directly with users to surface real-world insights, ensuring the roadmap evolves around what customers value.
• Stay close to what ships — monitor feature adoption after release, gather feedback, and iterate until functionality is rich, resonant, and genuinely used.
• Partner with engineering for durable solutions — collaborate on technical and functional approaches promoting consistent design patterns, reducing maintenance overhead, and fitting naturally into warehouse and supply chain workflows.
• Bring AI from idea to reality — actively research and prototype how AI can enhance the user experience grounded in real customer value.
• Align the teams that move the product forward — connect Engineering, Product Strategy, Sales, and Support to tighten feedback loops and keep everyone building toward the same customer outcome.
• Support Sales, Services, and Support teams on intricate customer scenarios, ensuring proposed solutions are viable, scalable, and protect product integrity.

Requirements

• 5+ years of product ownership or product management experience with a track record of shipping features that real customers use and value.
• Hands-on experience in inventory optimization, demand planning, purchasing, or supply chain workflows.
• Proven ability to turn ambiguous business requirements into functional specs that engineering teams can build from.
• Full product lifecycle ownership — you've made strategic prioritization calls that balance customer value, business impact, and system stability across an active customer base.
• Strong communication skills — you create alignment between technical and business stakeholders without unnecessary back-and-forth.
• Self-directed and composed under pressure — you manage competing priorities without losing focus on what matters most and doesn't need significant handholding to deliver.

Qualifications

• Familiarity with NetSuite — particularly supply chain applications, inventory management, demand planning, or purchasing modules.
• A background in supply chain, inventory optimization, or demand planning that gives you genuine industry context.
• Experience coordinating or contributing to product documentation for complex technical functionality.
• A degree in business, supply chain, computer science, or equivalent hands-on experience demonstrating analytical thinking and domain fluency.

Skills

• AI mindset — you act on integrating AI into a product, using AI tools to meaningfully elevate your own work, or exploring this space.

Benefits

• RF-SMART has been at the intersection of supply chain and technology for over 40 years, and we have built something rare — a culture where people genuinely stay.
• The Inventory Optimization product is newly launched and heading toward full market availability.
• The decisions you make now won't just manage a backlog. They will define the product experience for a customer base that is actively growing and shape the direction of a solution that is changing how businesses think about inventory.
