This is not the traditional PM role — you are a builder. You use the AI development toolchain (e.g., Claude Code, Driver.ai) to understandShipBob'scodebase architecture, generate working code against the actual repo, and ship to production with minimum engineering rework. Theminimumtechnical floor for this role is real: you must readShipBob'sdata model, evaluate AI-generated scaffolding for correctness, and write story/specs precise enough that AI tools can act on them without follow-up questions. You will be part of the Sortation Technology team. We build the products behind every point where ShipBob physically sorts inventory: Inbound presort at receiving Outbound parcel sortation feeding final-mile injection B2Bfreightsortationto build retail or wholesale pallets Returns sortation routing units back to inventory or disposition As volume grows across time-sensitivemarketplace and B2B channels, sortation has become a direct lever on merchant outcomes: on-time shipping, marketplace and retailer compliance, inventory accuracy, and the trackingexperience end-consumers see. Sortation sits at the intersection of physical operations and digital systems, where small execution gaps compound into merchant-visible failures — making thisone of the highest-leverage product surfaces atShipBob. This PM owns the products thatdeterminewhether units move to the right place, at the right time, and whether what we tellmerchants matcheswhat'shappening on the floor. This role is for someone energized by speed, uncomfortable with waste, and who measures success by outcomes shipped — not documents approved. Youoperatein an AI-native pod alongside an AI Engineer, AI/Prompt Engineer, and Designer. This role reports to a Director, AI Product Builder. Whatyou'lldo: Own the full product loop independently: AI-augmented discovery → story/spec → prototype → production PR → outcome measurement. You are accountable for the outcome, not just the handoff. Conduct customer discovery and use AI tools to synthesize research across tickets, interviews, behavioral data, and competitive signals. Demonstrate deepfunctionaland technical knowledge of owned products end-to-end.Demo to merchants and partners; understand competitivelandscapeand key differentiators. Use AI tools to analyze product metrics,identifyusage patterns, and surface anomalies. Define success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time without coaching. Maintaina prioritized roadmap ranked by impact × speed. Use AI tools to synthesize competitive intelligence, market trends, and customer insight into strategic inputs. Evaluate whether a proposed solution fitsShipBob'sarchitecture without Engineering translation. Understand service boundaries, data structures, and how merchant and partner API usage shapes data contracts. Route changes through prototype-then-PR. Write clear story/specs and review AI-generated code before raising.PRpromotion rate improves consistently. Set experiment hypotheses with explicit kill thresholds. Make day-7 rollout/kill decisions on AI-surfaced data. Additionalduties andresponsibilitiesas necessary. You'llapplythisbuilder model to one ofShipBob'smost operationally critical product surfaces – Sortation Technology. Translate merchant, marketplace, and channel requirements into sortation capabilities across the fulfillment lifecycle. Sortation performance shapes outcomes for DTC, marketplace,B2B/retail, and returns flows: on-time shipping, marketplace and retailer routing-guide compliance, inventory accuracy, andaccuratereturns disposition. Sequence the roadmap around thehighest-impact pain points. Close the gap between system signals and physical reality across everysortationsurface. Sortation failures show up as merchant-visible defects: late shipments, mis-sorts, missingtracking events, mis-routed returns, and inventory inaccuracy at stowing. Build the tooling, workflows, and verification signals that prevent them. Partner with Operations to turn product into adoption. Work directly with FC, Sort Center, Inbound, and Returns leadership, alongside Process Engineering and Transportation. Translatenew tools into standard operating procedures and measurable performance improvement across every sortation surface — from manual sort to future automated unit sorters. Move the metrics that define sortation performance — outbound execution SLAs (Click-to-Collect, Mis-sort Rate, Container Audit Defect Rate), inbound rebuild outcomes (drop-to-stock, SLAadherence), B2B compliance (SLA, load accuracy, retailer routing-guide compliance), and returns processing (cycle time, disposition accuracy). Whatyou'llbring to the table: 5+ years of product management, product engineering, or equivalent experience, withdemonstratedhands-on AI tool usage in a professional context. Proven ability to write story/specs that AI tools canact ondirectly — state machines, business rules, data contracts, edge cases — not narrative PRDs. Technical fluency: can read a data model, evaluate an API contract, andidentifywhen AI-generated code deviates from the target architecture. Track recordof shipping working prototypes or production code, not just Figma mocks or slide decks. Strong outcomeownership:sets success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time and tracks them after launch. Experience working in supply chain, fulfillment,logistics, transportation, or e-commerce technology.Sortation technology experience is a strong plus. Comfortable operating in a fail-fast culture. Being wrong fast is a feature here — staying slow to look right is the failure mode. Excellent written communication: you write specs, not meeting notes. Nice to have: Hands-on experience with the AI development toolchain (e.g., Claude Code, Driver.ai, Cursor,Replit, V0, Figma AI). Working knowledge of TypeScript, React, or Python — enough to debug AI-generated code and understand what the Engineer is reviewing. Experience with warehouse management systems, order management, carrier integration, or fulfillment operations at scale. Prior experience transitioning a product team from traditional SDLC to an AI-native operating model.
