Description
The re:Cycle Reverse Logistics Operations team offers worldwide cloud computing providers with a centralized means to sort, function test, in-warranty return, and disposition server and networking assets that break or are no longer needed in the fleet. The team is seeking a detail-oriented, creative, and self-driven Vendor Product Manager to support its global operations by owning and driving the team's continuous improvement initiative roadmap and the outreach mechanisms that fuel it — ensuring that the team is not only delivering on the big strategic initiatives, but consistently engaging with builders to understand their day-to-day pain points and dedicating resources to the smaller enhancements that add up to big gains over time.

Proactively engaging with Ops builders and leaders to identify improvement opportunities, using hard data and anecdotes to evaluate and prioritize requests, designing wireframes and workflow diagrams to communicate solutions, and driving user acceptance testing and change management to bring those solutions to life are all in a day's work for this Vendor Product Manager.
