About this role

Staffing AI

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to own and evolve the staffing product at the centre of Traba's marketplace. You will work across both sides: the enterprise customers who run distribution centres and manufacturing lines, and the workers whose trust and reliability are what those customers are actually buying.


You will collaborate with engineers, designers, data analysts, and other PMs, and work closely with our operations and field teams to design and ship practical solutions into industrial facilities.


This role reports directly to our VP of Product.


What You Will Do

  • Own product strategy across our core staffing and marketplace workflows.

  • Solve complex marketplace problems by balancing customer needs, operational realities, and business outcomes.

  • Write detailed product requirements and partner closely with engineering to execute them.

  • Build systems that improve marketplace liquidity, fulfilment, matching quality, and operational efficiency.

  • Use data to uncover patterns and answer critical marketplace and customer questions.

  • Design internal tooling and technical solutions that scale our operations.

  • Launch and iterate products across customers, regions, and operational environments.

  • Communicate complex ideas clearly – from systems and workflows to operational models and product strategy – across all levels of the organisation.



AI Agents (Neo AI)

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to join as a founding member of the Agents team and help build the next layer of Traba's product: an agentic platform that synthesises the data flowing through our marketplace and operates autonomously inside our customers' supply chain workflows. You will embed deeply in our customers' operations, and design and ship production agents that understand context, reason through ambiguity, make decisions, and execute work on behalf of users.


This is a 0-to-1 product role at the frontier of applied AI. You will work directly with founders, product engineers, ML teams, and early design partners to define workflows, shape product strategy, and build products as the underlying model ecosystem continues to evolve.


This role reports directly to our VP of Product.


What You Will Do

  • Own product strategy for Traba's AI agent platform.

  • Solve complex customer problems by balancing user needs, technical constraints, and evolving AI capabilities.

  • Write detailed product requirements and partner closely with product engineers and ML teams.

  • Rapidly validate and prototype ideas alongside customers and design partners.

  • Design agent systems that reason through workflows, orchestrate tools, maintain context, and execute meaningful work.

  • Define product behaviour, evaluation systems, and quality frameworks that improve reliability and performance.

  • Use data to uncover patterns and answer key product and system questions.

  • Develop a deep understanding of model capabilities and system architecture to evolve our AI product portfolio.

  • Communicate complex concepts clearly – from system behaviour and evaluations to user experiences and business impact – across all levels of the organisation.

About Traba

Traba is the AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain. We started in workforce—temp staffing, the biggest operational pain point for the manufacturing and logistics customers we serve—and used it to embed ourselves inside their daily operations and create a far better customer experience through technology. Now those same customers are pulling us beyond staffing into the broader operational workflows that run their facilities. That foundation gave us proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships. But our edge is more than data: by connecting to the systems running across every facility and activating the workers already on our platform to execute against them, we are building applied AI that drives real productivity gains and transforms how the global supply chain operates at scale.


Our mission is to build a world where the global supply chain operates at peak efficiency.


We’re proud to be backed by some of the world’s best investors, including Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.


Additional positioning:

  • We’re building the strongest staffing company in the market — high quality, high reliability, deeply embedded with customers

  • On top of that, we’re building the AI and software layer that transforms the light industrial supply chain

  • Products like Neo handle the operational grind (cross-system reasoning, early warnings, and routine actions) so teams can focus on service and scaling the business.
