Tailor is pioneering Headless ERP technology – a new way for growing companies to design internal workflows that fit their business, not the other way around. Our platform combines the flexibility of modern developer tools with the power of enterprise-grade operations.
We're helping multi-channel retailers, manufacturers, and B2B businesses replace rigid systems with adaptive, composable infrastructure. If you care about solving complex real-world problems and building products that scale from first principles, you'll fit right in.
Lastly, we're a Y-Combinator backed startup and have recently closed our $37M USD Series A to accelerate the future of composable ERP.
We're looking for a Technical Product Manager to drive product delivery across Tailor.
You'll own the management and coordination layer between our Omakase team (building composable ERP modules) and Forward Deployed teams (deploying solutions to customers). This means shaping requirements, driving alignment across AU-JP-US timezones, and ensuring work streams move forward with clarity and purpose.
Today, Tailor operates largely synchronously - and that's something we want to change. You'll help us build a stronger async-first culture, setting the standard for how distributed teams communicate and collaborate across timezones. You'll write PRDs, run the rituals that matter, negotiate priorities across competing demands, and ensure delivery stays on track. As Tailor's AU operations grow, this role will evolve into leading others who manage customer delivery locally.
Drive delivery for Omakase work streams, ensuring teams have clear requirements and priorities
Write and maintain Product Requirements Documents that set a high bar for clarity and async communication
Coordinate across AU, JP, and US teams - running rituals, unblocking dependencies, and keeping work moving
Balance competing priorities and resources across multiple teams and stakeholders
Extract learnings from customer-facing teams and feed insights back into the product roadmap
Engage directly with customers when needed to understand requirements and gather feedback
Build deep understanding of the Omakase roadmap - the why and what behind each module and capability
Shape the async communication culture for AU teams, establishing patterns others will follow
Work directly with our CEO and Head of Apps and Integration as well as our Engineering leadership in crafting the specifications and requirements of Omakase ERP modules
5+ years of experience in product management or technical program management
Appetite to run rituals and drive delivery cadence across teams
Strong track record coordinating work across distributed teams and timezones
Excellent written communication - you can distill complex requirements into clear, actionable documents
Comfortable negotiating trade-offs and making prioritization calls with incomplete information
You have good product taste - you may not write code, but you know quality when you see it
Experience in ecommerce, operations, or enterprise software domains is a plus
Comfortable working asynchronously across timezones (AU/JP/US). Minimum of 4 hours overlap with the U.S. Pacific timezone every day, where the CEO and forward deployed team are located.

Tailor is the headless ERP that gives fast-growing retail brands a composable, API-first platform to run operations with speed, flexibility, and control.
🧱 Legacy ERP is too rigid: Systems like NetSuite and SAP take months (or years) to implement and break with every change. Tailor is modular, headless, and easy to adapt. 🧩 Point solutions don’t scale: Tools like inventory or order management software solve one problem, but can’t talk to each other or keep up with growth. 📊 Spreadsheets are everywhere: From demand planning to purchase orders, even $100M+ brands still rely on Excel. Tailor replaces duct-taped workflows with ops modules you can tweak, combine, or scale ⚡️ Complex workflows need custom logic: Whether it's multi-location inventory, DTC + B2B orders, or light manufacturing (like kitting or lot tracking), Tailor supports flexible automations out of the box. 👟 Operators can move faster: Launch backend modules in minutes, not months. Tailor's low-code tools let teams build, automate, and adapt without waiting on engineering or implementation agencies.
Built for composable retail:
Tailor is already powering operations at fast-growing omnichannel brands and modern manufacturers. We’re proud to be the first Japan-based company to join Y Combinator.
