We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to own Planning on the Avathon platform, starting with integrated demand planning. This covers statistical and ML-based forecasting, demand sensing, demand-supply matching, inventory positioning and S&OP for manufacturers and asset-heavy operators in energy, mining, manufacturing and aerospace. Today our planning capabilities are built customer by customer. Your job is to turn that into one product with a clear roadmap, built on our Computational Knowledge Graph and AI agents such as our manufacturing planner agent. This is a product management role in Product Engineering, not a customer delivery role. You will own what we build and why, and work with engineering, AI science and our forward deployed teams to ship it.
You Will
Product Strategy and Roadmap
- Own the vision, roadmap and priorities for Planning across demand, supply, inventory and S&OP
- Know the market. Understand where Blue Yonder, o9, Kinaxis, Oracle and SAP IBP are strong and where an AI-native, graph-based approach wins
- Shape agentic planning: define how planners work with, supervise and override agents that generate forecasts, flag exceptions and recommend supply actions
- Decide what goes into the core product versus what stays as customer configuration
