About the role

Organization OverviewCompany Description

QAD is a leading provider of adaptive, cloud-based enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies. At QAD, we help customers transform and innovate through modern cloud platforms, data-driven insights, and AI-enabled solutions. Our Engineering organization plays a critical role in delivering resilient, scalable, and high-quality platforms that power customer success worldwide.

Job Description

QAD is looking for a senior product leader to own and advance our Procure-to-Pay and Supplier Relationship Management product strategy for manufacturers.

This role will lead the end-to-end product vision for supplier-facing workflows across sourcing, supplier onboarding, supplier collaboration, purchase order execution, supplier risk, procurement automation, invoice collaboration, and AI-powered decisioning. The objective is to build a modern, workflow-led procurement suite that helps manufacturers improve supply continuity, reduce supplier risk, control material costs, and automate manual procurement work.

This is not a traditional module-owner role. We are looking for a product leader who can think across the full manufacturing procurement workflow, connect SRM with ERP execution, and define how AI agents can help procurement teams move from reactive follow-up to proactive supplier and supply-chain decisioning.

The role will work closely with engineering, AI, platform, sales, services, customer success, and executive

What you'll do

Own the Procure-to-Pay and Supplier Intelligence Product Strategy

Build a clear product strategy that connects SRM, sourcing, supplier management, PO collaboration, invoice workflows, ERP execution, and AI agents.
Identify the highest-value manufacturing procurement use cases, including supplier delay handling, supplier risk management, sourcing optimization, purchase order change management, and supplier performance improvement.
Translate customer pain points into differentiated product capabilities and commercially compelling offerings.
Partner with GTM teams to position SRM and Procure-to-Pay as a strategic workflow suite for manufacturers.
Lead End-to-End Workflow Product Management
Own the complete Source/Procure-to-Pay workflow from supplier discovery and onboarding through sourcing, PO execution, supplier collaboration, receiving, invoice matching, and supplier performance.
Work across ERP, SRM, procurement, supply chain, quality, finance, and AI teams to ensure the workflow is connected end to end.
Identify where procurement users experience friction, manual work, poor visibility, or delayed decisions, and turn those into roadmap priorities.
Create clear product requirements, workflow maps, customer journeys, and measurable business outcomes.
Drive alignment between workflow needs, platform capabilities, integrations, data model, and user experience.
