Strategic Finance Lead

Traba is the AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain. We started in staffing, the biggest operational pain point for the manufacturing and logistics customers we serve, and used it to embed ourselves inside their daily operations and create a far better customer experience through technology. Now those same customers are pulling us beyond staffing into the broader operational workflows that run their facilities. That foundation gave us proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships. But our edge is more than data: by connecting to the systems running across every facility and activating the workers already on our platform to execute against them, we are building applied AI that drives real productivity gains and transforms how the global supply chain operates at scale.

We are backed by Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, and General Catalyst.
