Canals builds software for wholesale distributors, helping them operate more efficiently through automation and AI.
Our customers are the companies responsible for moving the materials that power the real economy; electrical supplies, plumbing products, roofing materials, HVAC equipment, and more. Every day, thousands of people rely on Canals to help process orders, manage purchasing, handle accounts payable, and streamline critical business workflows.
We're a profitable, rapidly growing company with a team of roughly 100 people distributed across North and South America. We care deeply about building great products, hiring exceptional people, and creating an environment where talented individuals can do the best work of their careers.
The RoleWe’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to join Canals as our second full-time product hire. You’ll report directly to our co-founder, CEO, who has owned all product work to date.
We need someone obsessed with UX clarity — someone who thinks deeply about user behavior, flow, and comprehension. Your job is to make sure there is no ambiguity in how the product is used. Every button, every screen, every flow should be unbreakable and self-evident — even to users who aren't tech-savvy.
You should be the kind of PM who gets joy from anticipating user confusion and eliminating it. Who sees a subtle UX flaw and can’t rest until it’s fixed. Who builds clean, elegant product experiences that guide users to success without needing training or guesswork.
What You’ll DoWork directly with the co-founder, CEO to define, refine, and own product direction
Develop intuitive product flows that reduce cognitive load and eliminate user error
Collaborate closely with design and engineering to ensure UX is seamless and intentional
Prioritize simplicity and clarity in every decision — from language to layout
Deeply understand user behavior and spot points of friction before they cause problems
Turn high-level goals into clearly defined, well-scoped product specs and flows
Fight for great UX and customer empathy at every stage of development
Own the product roadmap and ensure consistent progress on core product quality
Typically, 7+ years of product management experience, preferably in B2B SaaS
Track record of shipping clean, simple, high-clarity user experiences
Deep intuition for UX and user behavior — you anticipate where users get confused
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to give and receive direct feedback
Able to work independently with high ownership and initiative
Experience working with early-stage teams or fast-paced startups
