Traba is building an AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain, starting with contingent labor in manufacturing and logistics. The company matches and deploys workers into warehouses and distribution centers, and is expanding into broader operational workflows. Backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.
You will own the staffing product at the center of Traba's two-sided marketplace, architecting product strategy across critical staffing and marketplace workflows. You'll balance the needs of enterprise customers (distribution centers, manufacturing lines) with the trust and reliability of workers. The role requires solving complex marketplace problems—liquidity, fulfillment, matching quality, operational efficiency—and translating operational complexity into scalable product systems.
Key responsibilities include: architecting and stewarding product strategy; writing detailed product requirements and partnering with engineering; building systems that improve marketplace health; using data to uncover patterns and answer critical questions; designing internal tooling and technical solutions to scale operations; launching and iterating products across customers and regions; and communicating complex ideas across all levels and departments.
You'll collaborate with software engineers, product designers, data analysts, other product managers, operations, and field teams. You'll spend time on-site with customers and workers on both sides of the marketplace. This role reports directly to the VP of Product.
The position is based on-site in New York City or San Francisco, five days per week, supporting real-time decision-making and close collaboration with a high-performing team.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 7–10 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
Desired traits: customer-obsessed with on-site customer engagement; AI-native operator who has changed how you work because of AI; marketplace operator with deep understanding of liquidity, matching, incentives, and fulfillment; enterprise B2B muscle navigating complex customer organizations; first-principles thinker; operations systems builder; builder mentality with scrappy problem-solving; deeply collaborative across functions.
