People who are naturally curious. People who think from first principles. People who run toward difficult problems because they know that's where innovation happens.

Validate new product features with customers and provide continuous feedback to engineering. Become a trusted advisor on procurement transformation and AI adoption. What We're Looking For 5+ years of experience in procurement, sourcing, supply chain, or enterprise procurement technology.

Strong understanding of source-to-pay and procure-to-pay processes. Excellent communication and customer engagement skills. Ability to translate business problems into product opportunities. Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment. Who Thrives at ManoloAI We're looking for people who are: Curious and constantly learning. Energized by solving difficult problems. First-principles thinkers who challenge assumptions. Owners who take initiative and drive outcomes. Builders who enjoy creating products from the ground up. Motivated by the climb as much as the summit. Why Builders Join ManoloAI Help build the future of AI native enterprise software. Work directly with customers solving meaningful business challenges.
