About the role

The Allocation Manager sits at the critical intersection of Supply Chain, Sales, and Finance. In this role, you will act as the strategic gatekeeper of our inventory, ensuring that available product is deployed to maximize financial return and honor key customer commitments. You will analyze large and exceptional orders, manage supply constraints, and partner directly with the Sales organization to validate true customer demand versus requested quantities.

What they're looking for

  • Experience: 5+ years in Supply Chain Operations, Logistics, Order Management, or Supply Chain Program Management
  • Hardware Environment: Direct experience with physical hardware, complex industrial equipment, or capital assets — not solely software or services
  • Logistics Expertise: Proven experience managing multi-pallet freight, WHS-to-WHS transfers, and US-to-International shipping, including working knowledge of Incoterms, customs, and freight forwarding
  • Technical Aptitude: Strong attention to detail with the ability to review and validate technical equipment specifications, trailer or vehicle configurations, and regional compliance requirements
  • Program Management: Demonstrated ability to manage multi-quarter project rollouts using standard templates, ERPs, and CRMs to track progress
  • Stakeholder Management: Excellent communication skills with the ability to bridge the gap between Sales (commercial needs), Product (technical constraints), and Warehousing (physical reality)

Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management.

We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation , more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it.

The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.
