Project / Product Manager - REMOTE

About SkuNexus
SkuNexus is the brainchild of long-time eCommerce industry leader and Magento development agency, Web Solutions NYC. We serve mid-market and enterprise businesses who are looking to more effectively operate and drive their commerce and order fulfillment on a revolutionized, modern solution.
We wanted to answer the critical challenges in order, logistics, inventory, shipping and vendor management that we saw impeding the growth and productivity of countless promising companies.
Many businesses we met with were stringing together systems, or overpaying for software and consultants that created cumbersome workarounds, that were prone to failure and expensive to maintain.
It was a natural step to create a system that was able to give the power of full customization and automation back to the people that need it: operations, shipping, and and warehouse managers.
In order to do that, we had to go open source. Today, we're not just filling the gap in the market, we have created a new higher standard.
We're a fully distributed, global team, and we're always looking for talented candidates to grow the team.
