Senior Product Manager
About The Position
Traba is using AI and the internet to modernize the light industrial industry. Today, we're using our marketplace to connect manufacturing and distribution facilities throughout the US with reliable and hard working temp labor. This creates more profitable and productive businesses, and better career opportunities for our workers. We’re proud to be backed by the world’s best investors: Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst. We are looking for an entrepreneurial and experienced product manager to help us reimagine the antiquated staffing industry. Our product isn’t an app; it’s the labor we deploy into warehouses and manufacturing facilities throughout the country (and eventually, the world). In addition to collaborating with software engineers, you’ll also work closely with our field teams to design practical on-the-floor solutions for our light industrial customers. You will also partner closely with our founders and leadership team to bring our product vision to life. About You: You’re a unicorn—a rare blend of technical expertise, operational savvy, and human-centered thinking. You thrive in building and scaling complex systems, championing users, code, and business outcomes, and excel in navigating multi-sided marketplace dynamics. Marketplace Mastery: You’re fluent in network effects, incentives, system architecture, and marketplace growth strategies. Strategic Thinker: You balance the "why," "how," and "what" with exceptional judgment on product strategy, platform design, and economics. Holistic Problem Solver: You think big, solve scrappily, and dive deep into technical and business challenges—bonus if you can code. Collaborative by Nature: You work seamlessly across teams to align sales, marketing, product, engineering, design, and more. Adaptable and Humble: You thrive in ambiguity, iterate quickly, and stay open to feedback and learning.
