BackOps is at the forefront of supply chain intelligence, leveraging advanced AI to optimize logistics processes. Our solutions empower logistics teams to maximize efficiency and focus on mission-critical initiatives. We are dedicated to transforming the supply chain industry through innovative technology and data-driven insights.

The Role

We’re hiring our first Head of Product to define, build, and scale the BackOps product vision. You’ll own the strategy and execution across our platform, working directly with the founders, engineering, and customers.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the product direction of a fast-growing, AI-native startup. The ideal candidate has taken products from 0→1, is comfortable working in high‑ambiguity environments, and has experience (or strong interest) in AI/ML-driven products.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the product strategy and roadmap, ensuring alignment with company goals and customer needs.
  • Lead discovery with enterprise customers and translate insights into actionable product requirements.
  • Work hand-in-hand with engineering and design to ship high-impact features quickly and iteratively.
  • Balance short‑term execution with long‑term vision, prioritizing effectively in a resource‑constrained environment.
  • Define success metrics and establish product development best practices.
  • Represent product in customer, partner, and investor conversations.
  • Build and eventually scale a world‑class product team.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years in product management
  • Proven track record of taking products from 0→1 and scaling in a startup or high‑growth environment.
  • Experience with B2B SaaS, workflow automation, or enterprise software.
  • AI/ML experience strongly preferred (either building or productizing AI technologies).
  • Exceptional communication skills and ability to influence across teams and stakeholders.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset—comfortable with ambiguity, bias to action, and focus on outcomes.

Why BackOps

  • Build the product vision for a company redefining global supply chain operations.
  • Work with a small, high‑performing team where your impact is immediate.
  • Backed by incredible investors and advisors.
  • Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits.

View company profile

BackOps AI was born from a deep-seated frustration with the status quo of global logistics. The story begins with Sean McCarthy, who, during his tenure at Amazon Shipping, witnessed firsthand the operational inefficiencies that plagued the supply chain industry. Despite the technological advancements in other sectors, logistics remained bogged down by fragmented systems, manual data entry, and a reliance on 'tribal knowledge' that lived only in the heads of experienced managers. Sean realized that for the industry to truly evolve, it needed more than just another software tool; it needed a fundamental operating system upgrade.

Teaming up with Henry Ou, an AI expert with a background at Apple, they set out to build a solution that would bridge the gap between human expertise and artificial intelligence. Their vision was to create a 'central nervous system' for supply chain operations—a platform that could automate complex workflows, provide real-time insights, and allow businesses to scale without adding headcount. Thus, BackOps AI was founded in 2024, with its flagship product, Relay, designed to act as an intelligent layer on top of existing ERP and WMS systems.

Today, BackOps AI has rapidly grown from a concept into a venture-backed company, securing significant funding from top-tier investors like Gradient Ventures and Construct Capital. What started as a mission to fix broken processes has evolved into a comprehensive platform that empowers logistics teams to operate with the speed and precision of modern consumer technology. By automating the mundane and escalating only the critical, BackOps AI is redefining how the physical world moves, proving that even the most traditional industries can be transformed through the power of intelligent automation.
