About the Client:

If you are considering sending an application, make sure to hit the apply button below after reading through the entire description.

Our client is a Series A startup that reimagines the commerce layer for building materials suppliers. The platform connects dealers, contractors, and suppliers through a system built around how the industry actually works: job-site deliveries, trade accounts, ERP-native pricing, mobile-first ordering. They've crossed the $5M ARR mark this year. 130+ suppliers across the US and Canada run their operations through the platform today, and thousands of transactions move through it daily.

The Opportunity:

• The founding team spent the last year rewiring how the company works with AI: sales runs its own agent-built operations layer, finance is moving onto an AI-native ERP, engineering ships most of its code through AI-assisted workflows.
• You will drive the roadmap across the core platform, ordering, payments, catalog, integrations, and AI capabilities.
• Design and maintain the operating system for how product work gets done. Build agent-assisted workflows for feature request triage, competitive monitoring, status reporting, and roadmap communication. Accelerate engineering development cycles by automating handoffs, specs, and coordination between product and engineering. Your goal is to run a product function that punches far above its headcount by combining human judgment with AI-driven execution.
• You'll own the platform to ERP integration strategy across our dealer ecosystem. Epicor BisTrack, Epicor Eagle, ECI Spruce, DMSI Agility are core supported ERPs. Knowing where to build, where to partner, and where to hold the line is a required skill here.

The Skills/Requirement Needed to Succeed:

• You're currently leading Product at a B2B2C startup that has grown from sub-$5M to $10M+ ARR.
• Ideally you've been THE product leader at a startup more than once. Ideally one of them was a 2-sided Marketplace.
• Recent, hands-on experience building AI-assisted workflows for your own team's operations: agent-built specs, automated handoffs, automated status reporting, beyond shipping AI features to customers.
• Comfort working through ERP, payments, or other complex third-party integrations, and the judgment to know where to build, where to partner, and where to hold the line. xhyhwjd
