Forward-Deployed Product Manager
About Tailor
Tailor is a pioneer in Headless ERP technology. Our platform empowers companies to build internal workflows that adapt to their unique needs - faster, smarter, and developer-first.
About the Role
We're looking for a Forward-Deployed Product Manager to serve as the key bridge between our clients and internal product and engineering teams. You'll play a vital role in extracting requirements, managing communications, and supporting successful deployments led by the technical team. This client-facing, high-context role focuses on clarity, alignment, and speed.
What You'll Do
  • Gather and Clarify Requirements
    • Work directly with clients to understand business needs and pain points
    • Translate those needs into clear, prioritized requirements for engineers
  • Own the Client Relationship
    • Act as the main point of contact for client-facing conversations during onboarding, scoping, and delivery
    • Proactively manage expectations, timelines, and feedback loops.
  • Support Internal Teams
    • Provide context and clarity to engineers to help ensure smooth delivery.
      Ensure alignment between what was requested, what's being built, and what's being shipped.
  • Build Repeatable Patterns
    • Identify recurring client needs and help formalize templates, docs, or processes to streamline future deployments.
    • Help improve internal handoff flows, requirement intake, and communication patterns.
  • Shape the Product Roadmap
  • Distil recurring customer insights into strategic themes, prioritized high-impact features, and propose data-driven roadmap that advances Tailor's vision.

What We're Looking For
  • 2+ years in a Software Company
    • Relevant experience in a SaaS, ERP, or composable software environment is preferred, especially with an understanding of modular solutions, low-code platforms, or customer-centric software deployments.
  • 5+ years in product management, solutions, customer success, or consulting roles with strong client interaction
    • Proven ability to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience managing customer relationships, translating business needs into actionable product requirements, and facilitating customer-driven product changes.
  • Exceptional communication skills - you can make complex things sound simple and actionable.
  • Organized, structured thinker who can reduce ambiguity
  • Technically fluent enough to collaborate with engineers and ask the right questions
  • Based in or willing to be frequently present in Los Angeles. ~20% travel.
  • Travel requirements/expectations. 15-20%

Nice to Have
  • Experience with ERP, internal tools, or operational SaaS products
  • Familiarity with APIs, data workflows, or developer platforms
  • Consulting or customer onboarding background
  • Comfortable supporting multiple stakeholders and balancing competing priorities

Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary: $130,000 - $170,000 + Bonus
  • Benefits: Health, dental, vision, flexible PTO, and more
