About The Position

QAD Inc. is a leading provider of adaptive, cloud-based enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies. Global manufacturers face ever-increasing disruption caused by technology-driven innovation and changing consumer preferences. In order to survive and thrive, manufacturers must be able to innovate and change business models at unprecedented rates of speed. QAD calls these companies Adaptive Manufacturing Enterprises. QAD solutions help customers in the automotive, life sciences, packaging, consumer products, food and beverage, high tech and industrial manufacturing industries rapidly adapt to change and innovate for competitive advantage. We are looking for talented individuals who want to join us on our mission to help solve relevant real-world problems in manufacturing and the supply chain. This is a remote position within continental US, but we will be prioritizing candidates in EST/CST time zones. Please note: We will not be able to sponsor/transfer visas for this role As the Product Manager for Distribution, you are the "Full-Stack" owner of the value stream connecting our suppliers to our customers. You will move beyond tactical ticket-writing to drive the "Why" and "What" for both customer sales and supplier purchasing capabilities. This role is part of our Functional Product Stream, focused on solving pervasive market problems to drive adoption and revenue.

Requirements

Experience: 5-10 years of experience in Product Management within supply chain, ERP, or distribution software is highly preferred.
Mindset: High tolerance for ambiguity and a natural curiosity for user problems over technical "purity".
Decision Making: Ability to make "Green Light" investment recommendations based on hard data (logs, usage stats) rather than "gut feel".
Tooling: Proficiency in Aha! for strategy/roadmapping and Jira for execution management.

Responsibilities

Market Sensing: Conduct biweekly customer and supplier interactions to validate that identified problems are urgent and pervasive.
Problem Validation: Use data from Win/Loss reports and Customer Advisory Boards (CAB) to build evidence-based business cases.
Opportunity Canvasing: Define the market driver, competitive landscape, and economic impact (ROI) for new distribution initiatives.
Roadmap Ownership: Maintain a 3-year Now/Next/Later roadmap that balances customer sales features, supplier integration, and technical health.
Ruthless Prioritization: Apply the RICE framework (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) to the backlog to ensure we focus on "Return on Effort".
Constraint Definition: Clearly distinguish between MVP (Technical Prototype) and MLP (Minimum Lovable Product) to prevent scope creep.
Squad Leadership: Act as the strategic lead for a group of Autonomous Squads (Atomic Scrum Units), collaborating with a Tech Lead and Product Designer.
GTM Readiness: Partner with Product Marketing to ensure Sales, Support, and Customer Success are operationally ready for new releases.
Success Analysis: Post-launch, measure actual adoption and revenue against the original business case metrics to decide whether to Pivot, Persevere, or Kill.

Benefits

U.S. benefits package includes medical, dental and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan with company match, short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, unlimited paid-time off, parental leave, and well-being programs.
