Traba is building an AI operating layer for the light industrial supply chain, starting with contingent labor in manufacturing and logistics. The company connects workers to warehouse and manufacturing facilities across the country, leveraging proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships. Backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.
As Product Manager for the Marketplace, you will own and evolve Traba's staffing product at the center of the two-sided marketplace, balancing enterprise customers (distribution centers, manufacturing lines) and workers. You report directly to the VP of Product.
Key responsibilities include:
- Architect and steward 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 work across all levels and departments while synthesizing diverse stakeholder feedback
You will collaborate with software engineers, product designers, data analysts, other product managers, operations, and field teams to design, build, and ship practical solutions into industrial facilities.
The ideal candidate is customer-obsessed, spending time on-site with both customers and workers. You are AI-native, having changed how you work because of AI, not just added it to your stack. You have deep experience building products in two-sided marketplaces where supply and demand dynamics are real and operational complexity matters. You understand marketplace liquidity, matching systems, incentives, fulfillment, trust, and tradeoffs required to maintain marketplace health at scale. You have built products for complex enterprise customers with multiple stakeholders, long sales cycles, and operational rollout challenges. You are a first-principles thinker who understands systems and constraints deeply. You have built operational products or internal tools that powered real businesses. You move quickly, embrace ambiguity, and are deeply collaborative across product, design, engineering, data, operations, sales, customer teams, and leadership.
Requirements:
- 3–5 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
- Strong work ethic and desire to build a category-defining company
