Business DevelopmentFull-time
Key Responsibilities
- Own the full product loop independently: AI-augmented discovery → story/spec → prototype → production PR → outcome measurement
- Conduct customer discovery using AI tools to synthesize research across tickets, interviews, behavioral data, and competitive signals
- Demonstrate deep functional and technical knowledge of owned products end-to-end; demo to merchants and partners; understand competitive landscape
- Use AI tools to analyze product metrics, identify usage patterns, and surface anomalies; define success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time
- Maintain a prioritized roadmap ranked by impact × speed; use AI tools for competitive intelligence and strategic inputs
- Evaluate solution fit within ShipBob's architecture without Engineering translation; understand service boundaries, data structures, and API contracts
- Routinely route changes through prototype-then-PR; write clear story/specs and review AI-generated code before raising
- Set experiment hypotheses with explicit kill thresholds; make day-7 rollout/kill decisions on AI-surfaced data
- Translate merchant, marketplace, and channel requirements into sortation capabilities across the fulfillment lifecycle
- Close the gap between system signals and physical reality across every sortation surface
- Partner with Operations to turn product into adoption; work with FC, Sort Center, Inbound, and Returns leadership
- Move key metrics: outbound execution SLAs, inbound rebuild outcomes, B2B compliance, and returns processing metrics
Qualifications
- 5+ years of product management, product engineering, or equivalent experience
- Demonstrated hands-on AI tool usage in a professional context

- Track record of shipping working prototypes or production code
- Strong outcome ownership: sets success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time and tracks them after launch
- Experience in supply chain, fulfillment, logistics, transportation, or e-commerce technology; sortation technology experience is a strong plus
