Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building light processes that scale, and brings a mindset of ownership and continuous learning
- If you’re passionate about helping users succeed, excited by the potential of AI-enabled software, and eager to work alongside a sharp, mission-driven team we’d love to meet you!
- 3–5 years of product management experience, ideally in consumer, prosumer, or SMB B2B SaaS
- Strong product intuition paired with a track record of shipping meaningful, measurable improvements to user growth and retention
- Experience working on AI- or ML-powered products, or a strong desire to build in that space
- Comfortable leading with clarity even when full specs don’t exist—you’re the kind of person who builds the right level of structure as you go
- You make others better: you unblock teams, elevate the quality of execution, and build trust with cross-functional partners
- Hands-on operator: You’re comfortable rolling up your sleeves, getting in the weeds, and driving progress directly
- A demonstrated curiosity about how things work, how users behave, and how to build better systems over time
What the job involves
- We're hiring our first external Product Manager to help shape the future of how truck drivers and small fleet operators work, earn, and thrive
- As a member of our growing product team, you'll take the lead on core product surfaces that directly impact growth, retention, and user engagement
- This role is highly cross-functional, blending product thinking, executional drive, and empathy for our users–the backbone of the American supply chain
- Creating great user experiences that improve growth, activation, and retention across the product journey
- Empowering users through smart, intuitive, and trustworthy AI—especially those who are not traditionally tech-savvy
- Contribute to broader company strategy
- Partner with leadership to see around corners and work back from broad strategic plans down to narrow execution details
- Own the process, own the outcome
- Working closely with engineers and designers to build, ship, and iterate quickly
- Whether Launching a new onboarding flow or refining an AI-driven tool
- Running experiments along side operations to validate hypotheses, learning through data and feedback, and using both to guide roadmaps
- Operating in a fast-moving, resourceful team that values impact over process
- Wearing many hats and digging into everything from metrics to support tickets to customer calls
- You've successfully owned a large portion of the product surface from roadmap through launch, balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints
- Growth and retention metrics for your product area are clearly defined, improving, and well understood across the team
- AI features have been delivered in your product area that meaningfully reduce friction, save time, or increase user confidence
- The teams you work with trust your judgment, operate more efficiently, and value your leadership
Our take
The massive rise in eCommerce means that truck drivers are at an all-time demand, but the trucking industry massively lags behind many others in technological advancements. TruckSmarter delivers a free platform that allows truckers, carriers, and dispatchers to search and book loads, streamlining the entire trucking process.
The trucking industry has been historically fragmented, with truckers wasting countless hours searching for their next gig, followed by more time waiting to be loaded or unloaded – which can be very detrimental to truckers who are often paid per mile. Trucksmarter digital trucking platform addresses all these problems. It stands out from the competition by being a free-to-use service. It makes its revenue by offering truckers same-day payments for each load, in exchange for a small percentage of their fee, rather than charging to use the load board itself.
TruckSmarter has raised an impressive amount of funding from top investors and names in the industry, showing respect for and interest in its solution. The investment will be used to add more finance and banking tools to the company’s driver ecosystem.
