Partly is building frontier AI infrastructure for repair, starting with the automotive market. The company's core product, Interpreter, is an AI trained on 1M+ car models and 1B+ parts that reads repair jobs with 98.8% parts-list accuracy. Partly is backed by DST Global and has raised $50M in Series B funding.
As Network Supply Manager for NZ Supply and Solutions, you will be the hands-on operator accountable for the New Zealand supply network. Your mission is to ensure repairers can find needed parts, see accurate availability, and trust suppliers. You'll maximize choice across supplier channels and optimize cost by working deeply with data, building feedback loops with suppliers, and partnering with Product and Engineering to turn insights into action.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own day-to-day supply network health: selection breadth, live inventory accuracy, and fulfillment reliability
- Use supplier performance data to identify underperformance and build playbooks to address gaps
- Set priorities for coverage expansion, integration development, pricing negotiations, and supplier recruitment
- Live in dashboards and build new ones where needed
- Produce insights for supplier conversations, internal trade-offs, and roadmap prioritization
- Spot coverage gaps, availability dips, and supplier performance issues, then drive responses
- Synthesize supplier needs and feedback into clear internal advocacy
- Represent suppliers in product, engineering, and operational decisions
- Build trust through consistency and onsite visits to supplier locations
- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Account Management
You'll work in a hybrid model with an office-first culture in Christchurch. Partly covers travel and accommodation for quarterly "Season Openers" and offers relocation support if needed.
Requirements:
- Analytical and commercial mindset: think in numbers and trade-offs, build models, defend recommendations, translate data into commercial outcomes
- Hands-on operator: comfortable in the weeds, pull data yourself, write SQL or pivot tables, run supplier reviews, fix issues independently
- Strong communicator and influencer: credibility with suppliers, Product Managers, and senior leaders; calm, clear, well-prepared
- Customer empathy (supply-side): understand suppliers' businesses, pain points, and needs; translate into clear internal advocacy
- Ownership mindset: proactive, decisive, comfortable with autonomy in fast-paced, high-growth environment
- Tech-savvy: fluent with BI/analytics tools, CRMs, integration concepts; can hold credible conversations with engineering
- Bonus: exposure to marketplaces, supplier networks, automotive parts, or B2B SaaS (not required; sharp generalists welcome)
Note: The company explicitly welcomes applications from candidates who don't have all listed skills but believe they could excel in the role.
