Full Job Description
Job Overview: We're looking for a smart, collaborative, and execution-oriented Product Manager or Senior Product Manager to join our growing team. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, care deeply about customers, and enjoy turning ambiguity into impactful products, we'd love to talk.

In this role, you will own the product lifecycle end-to-end-from user research and strategy through delivery, launch, and iteration. You'll work closely with Engineering, Design, and cross-functional partners to build and scale products that deliver real value to our customers.

Depending on experience, you will either own a scoped product area or lead a broader product domain or customer segment (e.g., federal and defense customers), helping shape both product strategy and execution.

Responsibilities:
  • Own the product lifecycle end-to-end: discovery, requirements, development, launch, and iteration
  • Define and execute the product roadmap, aligned with company goals, customer needs, and technical constraints
  • Serve as the Product Leader for engineering teams:
    • Own and manage the product backlog
    • Write clear, actionable user stories and acceptance criteria
    • Prioritize work based on customer value, business impact, and technical considerations
    • Participate in and help guide Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, reviews, retrospectives)
  • Partner closely with Engineering, UX, Data, Customer Success, Sales, and Marketing to deliver high-quality product experiences
  • Gather and synthesize customer and market insights through direct engagement with customers and internal stakeholders
  • Drive cross-functional alignment and communicate product direction effectively across all levels of the organization
  • Lead product and feature launches, including rollout planning, enablement, and post-launch analysis
  • Use data to inform decisions, measure success, and continuously improve the product
  • Evaluate market opportunities and competitive landscape to inform product strategy

For Senior Product Managers:
  • Own a product domain or customer segment (e.g., federal/defense), including strategy, roadmap, and outcomes
  • Partner with leadership on long-term product strategy and go-to-market alignment
  • Navigate complex environments such as regulated industries, government customers, or multi-stakeholder ecosystems

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • Product Management experience:
    • Product Manager: 2-4 years
    • Senior Product Manager: 5+ years with demonstrated ownership of product areas or domains
  • Experience working in a venture-backed or high-growth startup environment
  • Hands-on experience in Agile/Scrum environments
  • Proven ability to manage and prioritize a product backlog and translate business needs into clear product requirements
  • Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills
  • Excellent communication skills (verbal, written, and visual), with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Ability to self-manage, operate with autonomy, and thrive in ambiguity
  • Detail-oriented with a strong strategic mindset-comfortable moving between big-picture thinking and execution
  • Passion for building products that deliver meaningful customer and user value

Nice to Have:
  • Experience in eCommerce, supply chain, or logistics
  • Experience working with or selling into federal or defense customers
  • Familiarity with regulated or compliance-heavy environments
