Are you a product leader who starts with the customer problem—not the feature request? Do you understand key supply chain areas such as demand planning, inventory, network design, and S&OP/IBP (among others), and know how to turn real-world complexity into strong software products? If you enjoy creating clarity, aligning teams, and shaping direction, this role at AIMMS could be a great fit.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
This is a new, strategically important role with direct impact on how AIMMS shows up in the market. Today, our supply chain capabilities are delivered through two solutions:

These have historically been managed separately—and customers can feel that. Your mission is to unify our supply chain offering into one cohesive, outside-in product story and roadmap: an AI-augmented decision platform that helps customers accelerate, scale, and differentiate.

AIMMS: Who We Are (and why it matters)
It all started in 1989, when we saw a huge untapped potential for mathematical optimization. Since then, AIMMS has touched many aspects of people’s daily lives—from the electricity delivered to our homes and the distribution of vaccines to emission-reduction policymaking. Today, as a product-led SaaS company, we support industries worldwide—from logistics to sustainability—enabling smarter, faster, and greener choices.
We’re a diverse, collaborative, and curious team of over 20 nationalities, with offices in the Netherlands (Haarlem HQ), the US, and Singapore. Working in a self-organized, hybrid way across the globe, we’re guided by four core values - Integrity, Care, Open, and Ambition - which help us give honest feedback, care deeply for our stakeholders, collaborate across teams, and continuously grow our impact.
How AIMMS made impact:
Remember the urgency of COVID? Our technology helped Dutch hospitals predict where ICU beds and staff would run short, and decide in minutes how to spread patients so no region was overwhelmed. That’s how we turn complex data into life-saving decisions – and the kind of impact you can have here.
