Senior Product Manager (Enterprise Software & ERP Systems)

SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER (ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE & ERP SYSTEMS)  Freeform builds AI-native manufacturing systems that unify software, hardware, and physics to produce industrial-scale parts at the speed of human ideation. By treating manufacturing as a single integrated system, we unlock a new era of innovation where complex hardware is designed, built, and scaled without limits.  We build our own ERP software, and we need a PM to own it. Freeform is in a period of massive scale: factory throughput is increasing exponentially, customer demand is accelerating across every frontier technology vertical, and the complexity of our operations is growing with it. Our parts have unique lifecycle requirements, including digital traceability from raw material to finished product, end-to-end data integrity, and compliance workflows that no off-the-shelf system is equipped to handle. So we built our own.   This platform is the operating system of our factory floor today, and the backbone of a global factory network shipping millions of products to customers worldwide tomorrow. That means the architecture has to be right: flexible enough to move fast and add immediate value, but built to scale without limits as the business grows. The person in this role will be the product owner of that system, shaping its vision, driving its roadmap, and making the foundational decisions that define how Freeform operates at global scale.  This is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor and build something with an audacious vision in front of it.
