Working at Manufactured:
Manufactured is a small, fast growing startup. Which means we deal with ambiguity and require a sense of ownership from all our team members. This is reflected in our core values.
About Us:
Manufactured Networks Inc. is a fast-growing inventory and PO-financing platform that builds, funds, and operates supply chains across 20+ industries and 25+ countries. We’re a remote first company, based in Los Angeles. Our team is around twenty-five people strong, and growing quickly.
We connect innovative brands with best-in-class factories, manage end-to-end logistics, and de-risk growth through flexible financing and data-driven execution.

This looks like:
You’ll be trusted and challenged to do your best work in a fast moving, high performing environment.
Our core values are:
Urgency: Always act like an owner, seek help in case of delays beyond 48 hours, move quickly when you have enough information (usually 70-75%), know when to dive in if there’s a crisis, and hold true to the best possible timelines without compromising on quality, value or process.
Authenticity: Be Authentic, be real, be respectful both, in front of and behind a person’s back. If you are frustrated, you’re frustrated. If you’re stuck, you’re stuck. If you’re worried, you’re worried. Let's support each other in resolving these issues. Be upfront and respectful in your conversation. We are a multi cultural, distributed, global team. Respectful authenticity in communication is critical.
Contextual Ownership: Our business is as much about people and relationships as it is about technology and process. We take time to build relationships and understand the needs of our internal and external partners. Context and empathy helps us understand the “why”. We set goals and drive outcomes based on context and realities, rather than tasks and processes alone.
Effectiveness: Did it work? Did it solve the problem? Was it a short term hack? or a long term process solution that benefits everyone? Was it something we can use to grow / move forward or was it a defensive solution. Did we meet our stakeholders’ expectations, did we exceed them? Did our stakeholders all win? Are you using your time correctly? Are you helping your team members use their time well? Are you contributing to the growth of the company?
Critical path thinking: "What is the shortest risk-mitigated route to the Best Potential Outcome?"
