Product Manager

It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.

Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.

About the Role

We're looking for a Product Manager to own product strategy and decision-making for Kojo's Field app: the workflow that puts materials in the hands of crews across 600+ leading contractors purchasing over $5B in materials annually.

Field crews are physically building the world around us, and it starts with knowing which materials they need, and when, on the job site. This role owns getting that right: turning a historically software-wary industry into one where crews choose to use Field every day.

This Product Manager for the field team will sit within the larger Procurement product, which is the linchpin connecting AP, Warehouse, Catalog, and Integrations. It's one of Procurement's two swim lanes, alongside Office.

In this role, you’ll report to our Lead Product Manager, continually solving how to make a complex, multi-persona workflow feel intuitive — and where AI can remove the most friction for technology-cautious, change-sensitive users.

What you'll own:

• Own the Field app roadmap end to end, from research through discovery,, prototyping, experimentation, shipping, and iterating across mobile (iOS, Android, tablet) and web.

• Radically simplify core field workflows to strengthen our position as the most user-friendly solution in the market

• Diagnose adoption barriers and time-saving opportunities across the wide range of workflows field users use to request material

• Break down undefined, ambiguous problems into shippable plans.

About You

What we're looking for:

• UX ownership: 2-5+ years of relevant product experience, ideally at a fast-growing startup environment. Our ideal candidate has personally owned the redesign of a workflow for a user who didn't want to change how they work, and you can point to the before and after. This is an especially critical part of the role, specifically amongst a notoriously trust-scarce industry like construction, where adoption has to be earned.

• Mobile fluency: You've shipped iOS, Android, or tablet products and understand the platform-specific tradeoffs a web-only PM misses. This is core to the role, not a preference.

• Independent problem framing: You break down ambitious problems and turn them into actionable plans.

• Multi-persona design: You've designed a single product experience that serves multiple distinct user types without fragmenting into disjointed product workflows.

• Cross-functional influence: You've shipped work that depended on teams you didn't manage, and you know how to move a roadmap without formal authority over it.

• Adaptability under shifting scope: You've kept shipping while the ground moved under a role, priorities reordered, and scope got redrawn mid-quarter.

• AI fluency: You've shipped AI-assisted features, particularly to remove friction

What you care about

• Customer Obsession: You sit with a field crew that's skeptical of new tools and rebuild the flow around how they actually work.

• Impact: You ship the simplest version of a feature that reduces friction in the field, and measure whether behavior changed as a result.

• Accountability: You own the call on what ships next, even when the roadmap underneath you is still being defined.

• Collaboration: You pull in engineering, design, and the sales rep who’s been in the room with the customer before writing a spec to ensure the entire team is working toward the same goal.

Salary: Your salary will be dependent upon many factors, including your experience level, skillset, market dynamics and balancing internal equity relative to other Kojo employees. The compensation and benefits information that we provide is based on Kojo’s good-faith estimate as of the date of the job posting and may be modified in the future.

Benefits: This position is also eligible for a new hire equity grant and all US-based full time employees are eligible for our full suite of perks and benefits. For more information about our perks and benefits, check out https://www.usekojo.com/careers.

If applicable, we’ll identify the travel and/or location-specific requirements of a position in the text above. Otherwise, team members can expect to work business hours congruent with their local time zone and remotely.
