About the role
As Partly’s Network Manager, NZ Supply and Solutions , you’ll be the hands-on operator behind our New Zealand supply network. You’ll be the single point of accountability for selection, live inventory, and supplier performance across the platform. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Analytical and commercial: You think in numbers and trade-offs. You can build a model, defend a recommendation, and translate data into a commercial outcome
- Hands-on operator: Comfortable in the weeds. You pull the data yourself, write the SQL or the pivot, run the supplier review, and fix the issue. You don’t wait for someone else to produce the dashboard
- Strong communicator and influencer: You can sit with a supplier, a Product Manager, and a senior leader in the same week and earn credibility with each. Calm, clear, well-prepared
- Customer empathy, supply-side: You take the time to understand suppliers’ businesses (how they make money, what frustrates them, what they need from us) and translate that into clear internal advocacy
- Ownership mindset: Proactive, decisive, and comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You don’t wait to be told
- Tech-savvy: Fluent with the tools that move the work (BI/analytics, CRMs, integration concepts). You can hold a credible conversation with engineering when you need to
More about this role
🚀 Our Story
Partly is building the infrastructure for anyone to repair anything. We believe everything built should be repairable, and we're building frontier AI to put repair knowledge to work, starting with the $2tn automotive market.
Our model, Interpreter, is the first AI purpose-built to understand repair. Trained on 1M+ car models and 1B+ parts, it reads a repair job the way an estimator does, resolves damage into the exact purchasable part, and shows its reasoning with a confidence score. On real production jobs, an estimator working with Interpreter reaches 98.8% parts-list accuracy, against 92.1% with today's tools. It powers PartlyRepair, used by collision shops, workshops and suppliers to take the admin off the job; PartlyLabs, the agentic infrastructure enterprises use to deploy Interpreter across their own workflows; and a developer API.
Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we've raised a $50m Series B led by DST Global (Anthropic, Airbnb, Meta, TikTok, Spotify), with Blackbird Ventures, WNDR, Activant Capital, Icehouse Ventures, Square Peg, Airtree and Ecliptic Venture Capital.
