Full Job Description
Senior Product Manager, Inventory & Operations

About the Job:

As a Senior Product Manager, you will lead a squad of engineers and cross-functional partners to manage the vision and roadmap for systems that power Rent the Runway's supply chain and supplier network. This includes all aspects of the customer's order fulfillment and return process; which covers inventory management, bookings, fulfillment, transportation, inventory care, and supplier management. You will partner with engineering, product design, business stakeholders, data science/analytics, and third-party vendors to implement innovative solutions that increase efficiency, drive scale, and improve operator, customer, and supplier experiences.

This is a full-time role based in our Dumbo office. RTR currently operates on a Hybrid model, with employees working from our office 4-days a week, and flexibly on Fridays. Regular weekly travel to our Secaucus, New Jersey fulfillment center is expected, along with occasional travel to operational facilities outside of the New York metropolitan area.

What You'll Do:
  • Drive Product Strategy & Execution: Own the product vision, roadmap, and PRDs for RTR's operational, supply chain, and inventory systems.
  • Power Internal and External Scale: Build and optimize internal systems (i.e., fulfillment, warehouse tech) while driving external expansion capabilities (i.e., supplier integrations).
  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate closely with Operations, Transportation, Inventory, Buying, Engineering, Analytics, and Finance, to navigate trade-offs, manage competing priorities, and align on high-impact solutions.
  • Ship High-Impact Improvements: Deliver measurable operational gains, whether increasing warehouse throughput, optimizing inventory accuracy or ROI, reducing cycle times, or expanding supplier channel capacity.
  • Rapid Prototyping & AI: Leverage AI tools, Figma, and modern workflows to quickly prototype, validate concepts, and de-risk solutions.
  • Data-Driven Iteration: Define success metrics, monitor post-launch performance, and maintain a tight feedback loop to continually inform product iterations.

About You:
  • Experience: You hold a Bachelor's Degree with 5+ years of Product Management experience, with a strong track record of shipping complex products. Direct experience in e-commerce, fulfillment, inventory management, reverse logistics, transportation, and/or other related supply chain domains is strongly preferred.
  • Systems & Operational Thinker: You excel at breaking down messy, high-complexity systems and problems into clear, actionable product requirements. You are equally comfortable at the 10,000-foot strategic level and down in the weeds of warehouse workflows.
  • Technical Fluency: You speak fluent "tech and ops." You are comfortable with APIs, system architecture discussions, and SQL. You can clearly translate business constraints for engineers and technical trade-offs for business stakeholders.
  • Adaptable & Scrappy: You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments. You enjoy tackling a diverse range of projects and know how to ruthlessly prioritize, test, and iterate for maximum ROI.
  • Data-Informed: You use quantitative metrics and qualitative operational feedback to build compelling business cases, validate hypotheses, and turn data into actionable insights. You are passionate about knowing your customer(s) and empathizing with their pain points.
  • Strong Communicator & Leader: You inspire trust, build consensus across matrixed teams, and keep squad members motivated, organized, and accountable.

Benefits:

At Rent the Runway, we're committed to the wellbeing of our employees, and aim to create a workplace that fosters both personal and professional growth. Our inclusive benefits include, but are not limited to:
  • Paid Time Off, including vacation, paid bereavement, and family sick leave - every employee needs time to take care of themselves and their family.
  • Comprehensive health, vision, dental, FSA and dependent care from day 1 of employment - Your health comes first, and we've got you covered.
  • 401(k) match - an investment in your future.
  • Exclusive employee subscription and rental discounts - to ensure you experience the magic of renting the runway (and give us valued feedback!).
  • Universal Paid Parental Leave for both parents + flexible return to work program - because we know your newest family member(s) deserve your undivided attention.
  • Paid Sabbatical after 5 years of continuous service - Unplug, recharge, and have some fun!
  • Company-wide events and outings - our team spirit is no joke - we know how to have fun!
  • Office-centric work - our corporate employees and technical leaders have the option to work remotely on Fridays, in accordance with Company policies.

The anticipated base salary for this position is $160,00 -$195,700. The actual base salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, including without limitation, the qualifications of the individual applicant for the position, years of relevant experience, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held.
