Senior Product Manager (Marketplace)

About Traba

Traba is building the AI operating layer for the light industrial supply chain. We started in the workforce space because contingent labor is the biggest operational pain point for manufacturing and logistics customers. We use proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships to create applied AI that drives real productivity gains and transforms how the global supply chain operates at scale. Traba is backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.

The Role

The product is the labor itself: the workers we match and deploy into warehouses and manufacturing facilities across the country (and eventually, the world). Every product decision impacts supply, demand, fulfillment, customer outcomes, and marketplace health. We are looking for an entrepreneurial and experienced Product Manager to own and evolve our staffing product that sits at the center of Traba’s marketplace.

• Own and steward our product strategy across critical staffing and marketplace workflows
• Solve complex marketplace problems by balancing customer needs, operational realities, and business outcomes
• Write detailed product requirements and partner closely with engineering teams to execute solutions
• Build systems that improve marketplace liquidity, fulfillment, matching quality, and operational efficiency
• Use data to uncover hidden patterns and answer critical marketplace and customer questions
• Translate operational complexity into scalable product systems
• Scale operations by designing smart internal tooling and technical solutions
• Launch and iterate products across customers, regions, and operational environments
• Visualize and communicate complex ideas from systems and workflows to operational models and product strategy
• Socialize your work across all levels and departments while synthesizing diverse stakeholder feedback

What We’re Looking For

• Customer-obsessed: Act like it by spending time on-site with the people using your product, on both sides of the marketplace
• AI-native operator: Prototype before writing a spec, check in code to the production repo, build internal agents to do research and analysis
• Marketplace operator: Deep experience building products in two-sided marketplaces where supply and demand dynamics are real and operational complexity matters
• Enterprise B2B muscle: Built products for complex customers with multiple stakeholders, long sales cycles, and operational rollout challenges
• First-principles thinker: Understand that strong product judgment often comes from deeply understanding systems and constraints
• Operations systems builder: Built operational products or internal tools that powered real businesses
• Builder mentality: Inventive and scrappy problem solver
• Deeply collaborative: Seamless across product, design, engineering, data, operations, sales, customer teams, and leadership

What You’ll Bring

• 5 - 7 years of experience as a Product Manager
• Evidence of shipping products that materially moved business outcomes
• Strong experience in two-sided marketplaces with real supply and demand dynamics
• Experience building enterprise products with multi-stakeholder customers and complex operational environments
• Experience building internal operational tooling or systems that supported real business execution
• Strong technical fluency and ability to work deeply with engineering teams
• Experience operating in startup environments where speed and ownership matter
• Desire to work at a startup and cover an exceptionally wide surface area
• A strong work ethic and desire to build a category-defining company
