🏢 About Lime
Lime is the world's largest shared micromobility company, operating electric scooters and bikes in nearly 30 countries and powering over one billion rides. As a Time 100 Most Influential Company, Lime is at the forefront of the carbon-free transportation revolution, offering a dynamic, mission-driven work environment. Working here means directly contributing to reducing car dependency in cities and shaping the future of urban mobility.
About This Role
As the Lead Product Manager for Supply Chain Systems, you will own the strategy and roadmap for the technology that powers Lime's global supply chain, from demand forecasting to fleet deployment and maintenance. This role is critical to ensuring Lime's operations scale efficiently and sustainably, directly impacting the company's ability to deliver reliable service in every market. You'll collaborate with engineering, operations, and data teams to build systems that keep millions of vehicles running and riders moving.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve meeting with engineering to refine the roadmap for a new inventory management feature, analyzing data on vehicle downtime to identify supply chain bottlenecks, and aligning with regional operations leads on their system needs. You'll also spend time with finance to model the cost impact of proposed changes and present a strategic recommendation to the executive team. Expect a mix of deep analytical work, cross-functional collaboration, and strategic planning.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Lime Is Looking For
- 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years focused on supply chain systems, logistics, or operations technology in a high-growth, global environment.
- Proven track record of defining and executing product strategy for complex supply chain systems, including ERP, WMS, TMS, or custom logistics platforms.
- Strong analytical skills and experience using data to drive decisions; familiarity with SQL, data visualization tools, and A/B testing is a plus.
- Excellent cross-functional leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders across engineering, operations, and executive teams in a remote-first setting.
📝 Tips for Applying to Lime
Highlight specific supply chain systems you've built or scaled (e.g., demand forecasting, inventory management, route optimization) and quantify the impact on cost, efficiency, or customer satisfaction.
Emphasize your experience working in a global, remote-first environment and how you've successfully collaborated across time zones and cultures.
Showcase your passion for sustainability and urban mobility—Lime's mission is central to its identity, so connect your personal motivation to their goals.
Tailor your resume to include keywords from the job description such as 'product roadmap,' 'supply chain systems,' 'logistics business processes,' and 'cross-functional teams.'
If you have experience in micromobility, transportation, or sharing economy, explicitly call it out—it's a strong differentiator for this role.

Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:

- → Lime's recent product launches and expansions (e.g., new cities, bike models) and how they might impact supply chain systems.

- → Lime's tech stack and engineering blog (if available) to understand their current systems and architecture.
💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Focusing only on technical product management without demonstrating a deep understanding of supply chain business processes and operational realities.
- Underestimating the importance of cross-functional collaboration—this role requires heavy interaction with operations, finance, and engineering, so failing to show teamwork examples is a red flag.
- Ignoring the global and remote nature of the role—candidates who don't address how they'll succeed in a remote, distributed team may be seen as a poor fit.
