Product Manager
Product Manager — Ready-Mix Concrete, Cement & Construction Materials
About the Role
Climate Earth is seeking a Product Manager to help build and scale a carbon-intelligent platform for ready-mix concrete producers and related construction material categories, including cement, aggregates, precast, and other materials.
In this role, you will work at the intersection of concrete quality control, product management, embodied carbon, and B2B SaaS. You will help define and develop product workflows that integrate automated, third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations directly into the day-to-day processes used by concrete producers and construction material companies.
This is a product role suited for someone who understands the technical and operational realities of ready-mix concrete. The ideal candidate is comfortable working directly with customers, translating industry needs into clear Product Requirement Documents, and helping Climate Earth scale an AI-native platform.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead product discovery for Climate Earth’s platform for ready-mix concrete and related construction material categories
- Work directly with customers, internal stakeholders, and industry partners to understand workflows, pain points, data structures, and decision-making processes
- Gather, organize, and synthesize structured product feedback from concrete producers, QC teams, technical managers, and other users
- Plan and manage beta cycles to test new workflows, product concepts, AI-enabled features, and customer-facing tools
- Define clear Product Requirement Documents for new workflows, including user stories, acceptance criteria, data requirements, business rules, and operational constraints
- Translate customer and industry requirements into product specifications for engineering, design, data, LCA, and EPD teams
- Collaborate with Technical Product Managers focused on LCA, EPD generation, verification, and compliance to ensure product workflows align with verified environmental data
- Help design product features that integrate automated EPDs, carbon data, mix design information, material properties, and performance data into practical customer workflows
- Develop a deep understanding of how ready-mix producers manage mix designs, batch data, lab results, material substitutions, strength performance, specifications, and compliance requirements
- Identify opportunities to use AI-native workflows to improve efficiency, product consistency, carbon optimization, and customer decision-making
- Prioritize product requirements based on customer impact, technical feasibility, business value, and scalability
- Support internal alignment across Product, Engineering, LCA Services, Customer Success, Implementation, and Sales teams
- Communicate product direction, beta findings, customer feedback, and release priorities clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Help improve internal product management processes, documentation standards, discovery methods, and feedback loops
Qualifications
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in product management, concrete technology, construction materials, quality control, materials engineering, or a related field
- Deep knowledge of ready-mix concrete, including mix designs, cementitious materials, admixtures, aggregates, hydration, strength development, durability, and material performance
- Experience working with concrete producers, QC teams, technical service teams, materials laboratories, or construction material suppliers
- Experience translating customer needs, technical requirements, and operational workflows into clear product requirements
- Ability to write detailed Product Requirement Documents, user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, and implementation-ready specifications
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work directly with customers, executives, technical users, engineers, and internal stakeholders
- Comfort working with technical data, product data structures, software workflows, and complex operational systems
- Experience managing beta programs, structured product feedback cycles, pilots, or customer validation processes
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities in a remote, fast-moving environment
- Ability to work independently, make sound product judgments, and drive work forward with limited hand-holding
- Familiarity with B2B SaaS platforms, enterprise software, construction technology, or industrial software preferred
- Interest in embodied carbon, Environmental Product Declarations, Life Cycle Assessment, and low-carbon construction materials
Preferred Experience
- Experience in ready-mix concrete quality control, technical services, mix optimization, lab testing, or production support
- Experience working with mix design software, batch plant systems, QC databases, laboratory information systems, or construction materials software

- Understanding of cement chemistry, supplementary cementitious materials, admixture performance, aggregate properties, and concrete durability
- Experience building or scaling software products for industrial, construction, manufacturing, or materials-focused customers
- Experience with AI products, data-driven workflows, decision-support tools, or automation in technical business processes
- Familiarity with Environmental Product Declarations, embodied carbon reporting, Life Cycle Assessment, or low-carbon concrete strategies
- Experience working across Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Sales, and technical subject matter expert teams
- Ability to communicate effectively with both software teams and concrete industry professionals
- Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, materials science, chemical engineering, construction management, environmental engineering, or a related technical field preferred
What This Role Is Not
This is not a traditional concrete QC manager role focused only on lab testing, plant troubleshooting, or day-to-day production support.
This is also not an LCA compliance role focused primarily on standards, verification rules, or EPD program requirements. Climate Earth has Technical Product Managers and subject matter experts focused on the LCA and EPD compliance side.
This role is focused on product management for concrete workflows: understanding how concrete producers actually work, identifying where carbon and EPD data can create value, and turning those insights into scalable software requirements.
What Success Looks Like
Successful candidates will help Climate Earth build a practical, scalable platform that customers trust and use in their daily workflows.
Success in this role means:
- Clear product requirements that engineering teams can build from
- Strong feedback loops with customers and beta users
- Better integration between mix design, quality control, EPD, and carbon data
- Product decisions grounded in customer reality, technical accuracy, and business value
- Improved internal alignment between Product, Engineering, LCA, Implementation, and Customer Success teams
- A growing product foundation that can scale across ready-mix concrete and related material categories
Long-Term Growth Opportunities
This role is an opportunity to help define a new category of carbon-intelligent software for the construction materials industry.
As Climate Earth expands its platform, this position may grow into broader ownership of product strategy, advanced concrete workflow development, AI-enabled product features, customer advisory programs, or adjacent product categories such as cement, aggregates, precast, and other construction materials.
This is a strong fit for someone who wants to combine deep materials expertise with modern software product management and help shape how the construction materials industry connects quality, performance, cost, and carbon.
Location
Remote
Candidates should be able to work effectively with customers and internal teams across North American business hours. Occasional travel may be required for customer meetings, industry events, beta program support, or internal team meetings.
This position reports to the Director of Product Management and will work closely with other Technical Product Managers, including team members focused on LCA, EPD generation, verification, and compliance.
Compensation and Benefits
Climate Earth offers a competitive compensation and benefits package based on experience, location, and employment requirements.
Benefits may include paid time off, healthcare benefits, retirement contributions where applicable, remote work flexibility, and professional development opportunities.
Why Join Climate Earth?

Tips for Your Remote Materials Buyer Job Search
Prove your async communication skills upfront
Remote materials buyer roles depend on clear written communication with suppliers and internal teams. Add a short section to your resume or cover letter showing how you managed vendor negotiations, purchase orders, or sourcing decisions entirely through email and digital tools.
Highlight your ERP and procurement tool fluency
Remote employers can't watch you work, so they screen for named tools early. List the ERP systems you've used, such as SAP, Oracle, or Coupa, and any procurement platforms specific to your industry. Specific tool names move your application past initial filters faster than general descriptions.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote materials buyer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through location-based listings that don't apply to you.
Prepare for remote-specific interview questions
Remote hiring teams consistently ask how you manage supplier follow-ups, track open purchase orders, and flag supply risks without walking over to a colleague. Practice concrete answers that name the tools and cadences you actually use to stay on top of procurement workflows from a distance.
Remote Materials Buyer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote materials buyer job?
Target companies with distributed procurement teams, such as remote-first manufacturers, e-commerce operations, and industrial distributors that have moved sourcing functions off-site. Remote employers screen for strong written communication, proficiency with ERP systems like SAP or Oracle, and demonstrated ability to manage vendor relationships without in-person contact. Candidates who can show self-directed project work and clear async communication habits stand out in remote hiring pipelines.
Which companies hire remote materials buyers?
Companies hiring remote materials buyers right now include Augmentis, IPG, and ASML, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first manufacturers, e-commerce fulfillment operations, and distributed industrial firms that have fully integrated procurement into their remote workflows.
Can you get a remote materials buyer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal supervision. Companies most likely to hire entry-level remote materials buyers include smaller e-commerce operations and indirect-spend teams. Showing proficiency with procurement software, completing a purchasing or supply chain certificate, or handling vendor coordination in any context can open the door.
Do you need a degree for remote materials buyer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh hands-on purchasing experience, ERP system proficiency, and a verifiable record of supplier negotiation alongside or instead of a formal degree. Supply chain certifications such as CPSM or CSCP carry real weight with remote hiring teams, particularly at companies that care more about output than credentials.
Which industries hire the most remote materials buyers?
Most remote materials buyer openings sit in Staffing & Recruiting, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed procurement teams to manage supplier relationships, component sourcing, and cost controls without requiring buyers to be on-site.
