  • Establish quantitative frameworks to track operational metrics, platform health, operator productivity, and cost-to-serve reductions
  • Partner deeply with Engineering, Design, Global Operations, and Commercial leadership to translate physical trade constraints into software solutions
  • Communicate strategy, trade-offs, and outcomes with clarity and conviction in executive-facing forums
You should have:
  • 6+ years of product management experience (or domain-relevant experience), shipping products in complex, data-dense environments 
  • Strong analytical & quantitative skills: Proficient in SQL, comfortable working with complex datasets, and skilled at building data-driven metrics frameworks 
  • Domain Focus: Experience building B2B workflow software, internal operator platforms, supply chain execution systems, or freight technology 
  • Complex Workflow UX: Demonstrated ability to streamline intricate operational tasks into intuitive user interfaces for heavy daily users 
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Proven ability to partner closely with designers, engineers, and frontline operations teams to prioritize features and manage dependencies
