Product Manager, Inventory

We've been changing the game since 2013, and building leading-edge technology has been at

the core of our strategy ever since — driving us to become the 3rd fastest company in history to organically reach the Fortune

500, following only Amazon and Google. We remain founder-led, take big swings, and set ambitious goals in everything we do. In

2024, we emerged as both the fastest-growing and most profitable automotive retailer in the US. If you're looking to join a

company revolutionizing an industry, you'll LOVE what Carvana has done for the car buying experience.

THIS IS A 100% ON-SITE POSITION (Monday

through Friday), with regular travel to Inspection Centers across the network.

The

Inventory Product team owns the systems and processes that turn an acquired vehicle into sale-ready inventory as efficiently as

possible, across Carvana's network of 150+ Inspection Centers (ICs). The team's scope spans reconditioning workflow and

throughput, labor forecasting and utilization, vehicle quality standards, and parts management and spend — the core levers that

determine how fast, how well, and how cheaply a vehicle moves through the network. Our long-term goal is to automate the

reconditioning process using AI and machine learning, optimizing for speed, cost, and quality across the network.

You'll

work closely with IC General Managers and their operations teams, Continuous Improvement, Quality, Procurement, Engineering, and

Decision Support Sciences (DSS) to define and solve problems that affect the entire reconditioning network. This is a hands-on,

floor-facing product role: you'll spend meaningful time inside Inspection Centers, watching lines run, talking to technicians and

shop leadership, and using what you learn to shape the software and processes that support them. The ideal candidate has genuine

empathy for the operators doing the work, is comfortable in a lean manufacturing environment, and gets energized by data-heavy

problems around labor, parts spend, and quality that repeat across dozens of locations.

As an

Associate Product Manager / Product Manager within Inventory, you will help develop and drive the roadmap for the tools and

systems that power reconditioning across Carvana's IC network.

• Reconditioning Workflow & Throughput​: Partner with IC leadership to improve how vehicles flow through

reconditioning stations — identifying bottlenecks, reducing cycle time, and building tools that give the network better visibility

into where vehicles are getting stuck.

• Labor Forecasting & Utilization​: Build and refine the models

and tools that forecast labor demand against production targets, and give IC leadership the visibility they need to staff

effectively and manage utilization day to day.

• Vehicle Quality​: Develop and improve the standards,

inspection tools, and processes that ensure every vehicle meets Carvana's certified quality bar, working to reduce defects and

comebacks across the network.

• Parts Management & Spend​: Own tools and processes for parts ordering,

availability, and spend at ICs — keeping reconditioning lines moving while controlling cost.

Responsibilities

include:

• Standardizing Work Across the Network​: Work across 150+ locations to identify what's

working, standardize best practices, and scale successful approaches network-wide rather than solving problems one IC at a

time.

• Delivering Data-Driven Insights​: Source and analyze production, labor, quality, and spend data to

surface meaningful insights, and communicate results and recommendations to Operations and senior leadership.

• Driving Product Ownership​: Take full ownership of the products and models under your purview, translating

shop-floor and operational needs into clear requirements and user stories in partnership with Engineering and DSS.

• Applying Structured Problem-Solving​: Analyze existing operational processes to identify opportunities to

eliminate complexity and manual effort by designing and implementing sustainable software products.

• Building AI

and ML-Driven Solutions​: Partner with DSS and ML Engineering to design and iterate on AI and machine learning solutions —

including vehicle routing, labor demand forecasting, and automated quality detection — to drive toward fully automated

reconditioning operations.

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain

Management, Industrial Engineering, Operations, or Computer Science (or other related fields).

• For Product Manager: 2+

years experience in product management. For Associate Product Manager: 0-2 years of experience, with strong internship,

analytical, or operational experience considered.

• Comfort operating in — and regularly visiting — a lean manufacturing /

reconditioning environment; willingness to travel to Inspection Centers across the network.

• Strong project management

skills, and the ability to work cross-functional on complex product areas, managing dependencies.

• Openness to feedback

from all people and parts of the company. A positive outlook, humility, and a healthy sense of humor. Read this again if

necessary!

• Intuitive problem-solving. Understand and think through causal relationships and ripple effects. Confidence in

tackling emerging and complex problems.

• Product sensibility. A student of products with sharp intuition about operators

and user experience.

• Excellence in communication. Ability to collaborate and speak the language of our Operational,

Product, Engineering, and Executive teams.

• Analytical thinking. Capable of the full scope of data-driven decision-making:

diving deep to understand the nuances of individual data points, defining illuminating summary statistics and visualizations,

crafting simple yet accurate narratives, and employing all of the foregoing to improve our product and business.

• An

AI-first approach to product work, with hands-on experience using AI tools for research, analysis, prototyping, and day-to-day

productivity.

• Experience in lean manufacturing,

industrial engineering, or high-throughput physical operations (automotive, logistics, warehousing).

• Familiarity with

Snowflake, Sigma, Looker, or Tableau for independent data exploration.

• Background in parts procurement, supply chain

systems, or inventory management.

• Hands-on experience building or iterating on AI-driven or ML-informed products.

• Full-Time position with a competitive salary and Carvana stock

compensation.

• Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits.
• 401K with company match.
• A multitude of perks

including student loan payments, discounts on vehicles, benefits for your pets, and much more.

• A great wellness program

to keep you healthy and happy both physically and mentally.

• Access to opportunities to expand your skill set and share

your knowledge with others across the organization.

• A company culture focused on high performance and bar-raising, with

vast opportunity to learn and grow.

To be able to do your job at Carvana,

there are some basic requirements we want to share with you.

• Must be able to read, write, speak and understand

English.
