About Confido

Confido is the AI infrastructure for CPG brands, providing a single source of truth for accounting, finance, sales, and operations teams. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We're hiring a TPM Manager to own the sales forecasting, trade planning, and trade optimization experience for our customers. TPM sit at the center of what Confido automates for CPG brands, and this role is the connective tissue between our Sales, Implementation, Customer Success, and Product teams — making sure customers actually resolve trade faster and more accurately on our platform, not just process them.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of hands-on trade planning experience at CPG brands, including direct responsibility for planning baselines and trade, executing plans, and reconciling trade yourself — extra points if you have implemented TPM systems
  • Fluency in the trade mechanics such as baseline planning, trade promotion types, rate base vs lump sum planning, accruals, off-invoice vs. bill-back, and how trade spend rolls up to gross-to-net revenue
  • A track record of turning operational expertise into product requirements, and comfort working directly with Engineering
  • Strong customer-facing instincts — you can run a discovery session, defend a design decision, and de-escalate an angry VP of Trade in the same week
  • Experience representing a product or point of view externally (webinars, conferences, analyst conversations)
