Are you a product leader who starts with the customer problem—not the feature request? Do you understand key supply chain areas such as demand planning, inventory, network design, and S/OP/IBP (among others), and know how to turn real-world complexity into strong software products? If you enjoy creating clarity, aligning teams, and shaping direction, this role at AIMMS could be a great fit.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
This is a new, strategically important role with direct impact on how AIMMS shows up in the market. Today, our supply chain capabilities are delivered through two solutions:
- SC Navigator + modules (ready-to-use solutions)
- Optimization Tooling (to build custom optimization applications)
These have historically been managed separately—and customers can feel that. Your mission is to unify our supply chain offering into one cohesive, outside-in product story and roadmap: an AI-augmented decision platform that helps customers accelerate, scale, and differentiate.
Your Role & Impact
In this role, you will:
- Elevate product thinking – Introduce clarity, prioritization, and product discipline in a growing environment.
- Be the voice of the customer – Ensure decisions are grounded in real needs and measurable value.
- Own and drive the product vision and strategy in alignment with the CPTO – Setting a clear, differentiated direction rooted in customer outcomes and market needs.
- Drive the roadmap – Build and prioritize a high-impact roadmap across both solution areas, aligned with business goals.
- Operate as Product Owner – Manage the SC Navigator backlog and work closely with engineering on delivery.
- Lead discovery and innovation – Translate customer insights and trends (e.g., resilience, nearshoring, AI-driven planning) into product decisions.
- Shape pricing and packaging – Define modules, bundling, and pricing to drive adoption and differentiation.
- Align teams and drive execution – Act as the central point of alignment across engineering, design, marketing, and sales.
- Measure and improve outcomes – Define and track KPIs such as retention, churn, and time-to-value.
- Partner with leadership – Work directly with the CPTO on priorities, trade-offs, and investment decisions.
What Will Help You Thrive and Be Successful
You combine strong supply chain expertise with modern product thinking—and you’re comfortable creating clarity in complex environments.
You bring:
- Deep supply chain experience (essential) – Hands-on experience in operations, consulting, or implementation, with a strong understanding of real-world constraints. Preferably in Supply Chain Optimization and Network Design.
- Customer focus – You dig into the “why” and translate needs into scalable solutions.

You are:
