About Kaya AIKaya AI is building the system of action for mission-critical construction and infrastructure projects. We help owners, developers, and contractors proactively manage procurement, logistics, and execution across some of the most complex projects in the world, including data centers, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing. Our platform combines AI, workflow automation, supply chain intelligence, and real-world operational data to help teams deliver projects faster, with greater predictability and less operational friction. Our agentic coworker, Amber, learns customer context in minutes and helps teams complete RFPs faster, win more work, and eliminate hours of manual procurement and logistics work every week. We are backed by leading investors and trusted by industry leaders including Crusoe, Aligned Data Centers, Accenture, Suffolk Construction, and Turner. Kaya has been recognized by Infrastructure Masons (IM 100), BuiltWorlds as a Top AI-Driven AEC Solution for 2026, Cemex Ventures Top 50 Contech Startups, and Suffolk Technologies as Startup of the Year.
The Role:
We are looking for a Product Lead to own Kaya's Supply Chain Management module, the product that tracks every critical piece of equipment from submittal approval through fabrication, factory testing, shipping, and delivery to site. On a hyperscale data center build, the PO date is not what starts the clock on long-lead equipment. The submittal approval date is. A two-week slip on a switchgear submittal can become a two-month slip on energization. Most teams find out too late. Our job is to make sure they find out early enough to act. This role sits at the intersection of software product and real-world supply chain. We are looking for one of two profiles: A software product leader who also has hands-on supply chain experience (procurement, expediting, logistics, materials management, or project controls), or A product leader who has built supply chain, procurement, or logistics software. You will own the module end to end: strategy, roadmap, specs, and adoption. You will work daily with engineering, our deployed engineers, and the Amber team, and you will spend real time with GCs, owners, and equipment suppliers on live projects. What you ship will be used on some of the largest and most schedule-critical builds in the world, and the bar for accuracy and reliability is high. What You'll Work OnOwn the product strategy and roadmap for the Supply Chain Management module Translate field reality (submittals, expediting, FAT/FWT, ROJ dates, laydown, delivery windows) into clear product requirements Run customer discovery with GCs, owners, developers, procurement teams, and equipment OEMsWrite sharp specs, prioritize with engineering, and ship in tight cycles Define how the module connects to the systems customers already use, including Primavera P6 schedules, Procore, and ERPsPartner with the Amber team to design AI workflows such as risk detection, automated vendor follow-ups, and early-warning alerts Work alongside deployed engineers to roll out the product on live projects and close the gap between what customers need and what the platform does Define and track success metrics: schedule risk caught early, on-time delivery, and hours of manual tracking eliminated Feed customer insight into sales, customer success, and marketing, and support key demos, RFPs, and executive conversations Help build the product operating rhythm for the pod from the ground upIdeal Candidate 5+ years in product management, including at least 2 years owning a product or module end to end Hands-on supply chain experience in construction, industrial, energy, or manufacturing, or a track record leading product at a supply chain, procurement, or logistics software companyExperience shipping B2B software to enterprise users with complex workflows Comfortable working closely with engineers, with a working understanding of APIs, data models, and integrations Strong customer instincts and a habit of going to where the work happens, including the jobsite Clear written communication, especially in specs and stakeholder updates Comfortable with ambiguity and speed at an early-stage company Good judgment on scope: knowing what to ship now, what to defer, and what to say no toPreferred Experience Long-lead equipment procurement or expediting for data centers or other mission-critical facilities (switchgear, generators, UPS, transformers, cooling) Familiarity with Primavera P6, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, or construction ERPsWorking knowledge of submittal workflows and OFCI scopes Experience building AI-powered or data-heavy products Comfort with data analysis, including SQL or similar tools
