Doss Portfolio Manager to lead a team of Forward Deployed Product Managers managing complex client relationships and post-sales lifecycle. Hands-on role involving discovery, design, implementation, and go-live phases.
Responsibilities
Doss's Forward Deployed Services (FDS) team is the core engine of DOSS and the success of our customers. The Portfolio Manager sits at the intersection of product, data, operations, implementation, and customer partnership — leading a team of Forward Deployed Product Manager (FDPM) ICs while staying deeply hands-on yourself.
You'll own a portfolio of Doss's most complex, high-value client relationships and lead your team through the full post-sales lifecycle:
Discovery: partnering with cross-functional client leadership to analyze operational and financial workflows (flow of goods, information, and money)
Product Design: data model, workflows, and integrations
Build/Configure on the DOSS platform
You'll manage a team of Forward Deployed Product Managers, setting the standard for quality and pace while staying in the weeds alongside your team. This is a player-coach role - you're not just directing, you're doing.
We are open to hiring across the US, but at the moment we are prioritizing candidates in Denver, CO.

Required
8+ years of experience in engineering, consulting, finance, operations, product operations, or technical program management, including time as a people manager with direct reports
ERP Implementation Leadership. You’ve managed a team through an ERP implementation (scoping, configuration, data migration, go-live). Strongly preferred, though we’ll also consider people who’ve led implementations of other complex B2B software or run professional services delivery teams.
Systems Thinker. Everything in our business is highly interconnected across people, process, and technology. You can traverse it, untangle it, and put it back together, and you can teach others to do the same.
Player-Coach Mentality. You lead by doing. You’re not the person who delegates everything and manages from a distance: you roll up your sleeves, model the work, and hold the bar.
High-Intensity. You’ve thrived in high-pressure environments (startups, consulting, finance), and that’s a real preference, not a stated one.
Technical from First Principles. You can grok hard engineering and logic problems from intuition, not memorization, and you can break them down for your team.
Intellectual Firepower. You cut through noise, synthesize fast, and make good calls under ambiguity.
Strong analytical mindset; SQL experience is a plus (not required)
