Senior Product Manager, WMS - Softeon

IFS is a billion-dollar revenue company with 7,000+ employees on all continents. Our leading AI technology is the backbone of our award-winning enterprise software solutions, enabling our customers to be their best when it really matters, at the Moment of Service™. Our commitment to internal AI adoption has allowed us to stay at the forefront of technological advancements, ensuring our colleagues can unlock their creativity and productivity, and our solutions are always cutting-edge. 

IFS Softeon builds warehouse management (WMS) and supply chain execution software that runs distribution centers for manufacturers, distributors, retailers and 3PLs. In early 2026 Softeon became part of IFS, the global enterprise software company, pairing a focused, fast-moving WMS team with IFS's reach, partner ecosystem and platform investment. 

With the IFS combination, we're investing in Product Management: growing the team, modernizing how we work and bringing more structure to how customer and market insight turns into product. People who join now will have a real hand in shaping the standards, rituals and tools the team uses as it scales. 

You'll own the roadmap for our flagship WMS and join a Product Management team we're actively expanding. Reporting to the VP of Product, you'll decide what we build next for the warehouses that run on Softeon. 

As we scale inside IFS, we're refining and formalizing how product work gets done, and you'll help shape it: our discovery rhythm, how requirements reach engineering, how releases reach customers, and how presales, implementation and support feed the roadmap. If you have strong views on what great product practice looks like, you'll get to put them to work. 

What you'll do 

Own the WMS product 

• Set and maintain the WMS roadmap, balancing new capability, platform health, customer commitments and competitive gaps. 

• Run discovery directly with warehouse operators, supervisors and IT leaders, on site and on the floor, not just in conference rooms. 

• Turn what you learn into clear problem statements, requirements and user stories that engineering can build and test against. 

• Prioritize the backlog with engineering leads, make the trade-off calls, and explain the "why" behind them. 

• Define success metrics for what we ship and track adoption and outcomes after release. 

Bring the market into the building 

• Track the WMS and supply chain execution landscape, from tier-one suites to cloud-native challengers; know where we win, where we lose, and why. 

• Spot where AI, automation (AMRs, ASRS, WES/WCS) and IFS platform capabilities can solve real warehouse problems. 

• Partner with IFS product teams on integrations and on how our WMS fits the broader IFS story. 

Take it to market 

• Package releases with product marketing and enablement: release notes, positioning, demo stories and talk tracks. 

• Support presales on strategic deals, RFPs and roadmap briefings for prospects and customers. 

• Close the loop with implementation and support so field issues become product fixes, fast. 

Shape how we work 

• Help evolve and formalize our product operating model: PRD templates, intake from the field, roadmap reviews, release readiness and customer advisory input. 

• Help select and refine the tools and rituals the team uses as it grows. 

• Mentor future PMs and product owners as the team expands. 

What you'll bring 

• 3-5+ years in warehouse or supply chain software, with at least 2 years in product management. Strong candidates from solution consulting, implementation or business analysis who've shaped product direction are encouraged to apply. 

• Real fluency in DC operations: receiving, putaway, replenishment, inventory control, wave and task management, picking, packing and shipping. 

• A track record of owning a roadmap and backlog and shipping in an Agile team. 

• Comfort with integrations and data: ERP, TMS, carrier and automation interfaces; APIs; enough SQL to answer your own questions. 

• Clear writing and confident presenting, from a requirements doc for engineers to a roadmap briefing for a customer's VP of Operations. 

• Good judgment under ambiguity. You can set priorities with incomplete information, and you enjoy improving processes as much as following them. 

• Willingness to travel up to about 20% to customer sites, DCs and industry events. 

Nice to have 

• Hands-on time in a warehouse or distribution operation, as a supervisor, engineer or ops leader. 

• Experience with warehouse automation: AMRs, ASRS, sortation, conveyor, pick-to-light, WES or WCS. 

• Background with 3PL, multi-client or omnichannel fulfillment. 

• Experience productizing AI or optimization features such as labor planning, slotting or task interleaving. 

• Knowledge of ERP ecosystems, especially IFS Cloud. 

• CSPO, SAFe PM/PO or a similar product certification. 

• Experience working with distributed engineering teams across time zones. 

Why join us 

• Shape a growing function. We're investing in Product Management as part of IFS, and the people who join now will help define how the team operates as it scales. Your ideas will show up in how we work, not just in what we ship. 

• Grow as the org grows. As the team expands, there's a clear path toward Senior PM, Lead PM, or managing PMs of your own, and we'll invest in getting you there. 

• Own a real product, not a feature. You'll steer the flagship WMS that live warehouses depend on every shift, and see your decisions show up on the floor. 

• Small-team speed, big-company reach. You get the directness of a focused WMS team, plus the customers, partners and platform investment of IFS behind you. 

• Work with people who know warehouses. Our product, presales and implementation teams come from the operations world. You'll be surrounded by people who've run the floor, not just studied it.
