- Intuitive, analytical, adaptable, and humble
- 5-10+ years of experience as a product manager
- Evidence of shipping features and products that have moved the needle

What the job involves
- We are looking for an entrepreneurial and experienced product manager with deep AI expertise to help us reimagine the antiquated industrial labor market
- Our product isn’t an app; it’s the labor we match and deploy into warehouses and manufacturing facilities throughout the USA (and eventually, the world)
- In addition to collaborating with software engineers, you’ll also work closely with our field teams to design, build and ship practical solutions into industrial facilities
- This role reports to our co-founder & CTO
- Architect and steward our product strategy, marketplace and AI vision

- Use data to uncover hidden patterns and answer key product questions
- Evolve our product portfolio with a deep understanding of our tech stack
- Scale operations by defining and co-implementing smart, efficient technical solutions
- Identify and shape new opportunities into product strategy and vision
- Visualize and communicate complex ideas: from system diagrams to users flows and business models
- Socialize your work across all levels and departments, synthesizing diverse feedback from multiple stakeholders
Our take
Traba aims to revolutionize the gig economy within the warehousing and events sector by addressing current shortcomings. While the gig economy has provided flexibility elsewhere, it has struggled in these industries, often leading to disengaged workers and exploitative practices.
Trada distinguishes itself by verifying worker credentials and setting a minimum wage to ensure fair compensation, which helps mitigate issues seen in other short-term staffing solutions. The platform offers benefits like instant pay-outs and automation features for invoicing and reporting, enhancing efficiency for both workers and employers.
With significant funding secured in 2022 and 2023, Treaba is in the midst of expanding it operations across the US, prioritizing states like Texas with robust light industry sectors. Future developments include enhancing the platform with new apps and tools to streamline communication and further improve user experience.
