What they need
- Movement is the platform underneath everything project44 ships: visibility, analytics, AI agents, and a growing set of modules (Appointment Manager, Yard, Last Mile) being migrated onto it as a shared foundation
- We’re hiring a Senior Platform Product Manager to own both halves of that foundation: the technical platform capabilities that power Movement — identity and access, Collaborative Visibility, Search — and the user experience built on top of them
- This is the connective tissue that makes Movement feel like one coherent product instead of a collection of features — the experience layer every persona depends on, the analytics customers see every day, and the security guarantees enterprise customers require before they’ll trust us with sensitive freight data
- You’ll sit at the intersection of Product, Design, Engineering, and Security — partnering closely with the pillar PMs who own individual modes and modules, while owning the platform primitives all of them build on
- The role is deliberately dual-track: deep technical partnership with Engineering on the capabilities beneath the surface, and close partnership with Product Design on the experience above it
- Movement UX & platform evolution:
- Own the product vision for how Movement’s core experience evolves — the Overview dashboard, navigation, and shared UI patterns that other modules inherit as they migrate onto the platform
- Partner directly with Product Design on UX vision and prototypes, translating design principles into a sequenced, buildable roadmap
- Arbitrate platform-level UX trade-offs across pillar teams so Movement doesn’t fragment into inconsistent experiences as more products move onto it
- Own the web, responsive, and mobile app strategy for Movement — deciding what belongs on web versus mobile, how responsive breakpoints serve users, and driving that plan through to implementation with Design and Engineering
- Identity & access management
- Own the roadmap for Movement’s IAM layer: tenant and user permissioning, Access Groups, role definitions, and the unified authorization model that lets us bring new products and acquisitions onto one identity system instead of bespoke ones
- Define and prioritize new permission models (e.g., restricted-visibility roles for security-sensitive customers) in partnership with Engineering and Security
- Be the product point of contact for IAM scoping on new acquisitions and partner integrations
- Shared platform capabilities:
- Own the product roadmap for Collaborative Visibility — how shippers, carriers, and partners share shipment data across tenant boundaries, and what each party is permitted to see
- Own Search as a platform capability: a consistent, performant way to find shipments, orders, locations, and documents across every module on Movement
- Work directly with platform engineering on the technical trade-offs behind these capabilities — data models, APIs, and performance — and translate them into a sequenced roadmap the pillar teams can build against
- Persona-based experiences:
- Take Movement from a one-size-fits-all Overview to persona-aware experiences for operators/planners, managers, and executives, building on validated discovery already in hand
- Define what’s configurable versus persona-default, and how personalization scales without fragmenting the core platform
- Partner with Data/Analytics to use behavioral data — not just stated preference — to keep refining personas post-launch
- Customer-facing analytics:
- Own the platform-level strategy for analytics embedded in Movement: the shared infrastructure and experience layer, distinct from the mode-specific analytics content pillar PMs already own
- Lead build-vs-buy and vendor decisions for embedded analytics/BI
- Define self-service and platform-value reporting that cuts manual reporting work for Customer Success and gives customers direct visibility into adoption and ROI
- Security & data governance:
- Own security and data-exposure requirements across Movement’s UI and APIs — field-level redaction, need-to-know access patterns, and audit logging for regulated or security-sensitive customers
- Partner with Security/Privacy and Engineering to turn customer security requirements into shippable, testable product requirements rather than one-off exceptions
- Represent Product in compliance-adjacent conversations (e.g., SOC 2, customer security reviews) where platform behavior is in scope
- Cross-functional leadership:
- Be the accountable owner that Sales, CX, Support, and Engineering escalate to on platform-level Movement questions
- Represent Platform in quarterly planning, RICE-based prioritization, and roadmap reviews alongside pillar PMs
- Write clear PRDs, product briefs, and decision docs — this org runs on Confluence and Jira Product Discovery as the system of record, not Slack threads
- In your first 90 days, expect to: get current on the two or three enterprise-committed platform requests already in flight, ship (or make the call not to ship) the first phase of persona-based experiences, and stand up a clear owner-of-record model for embedded analytics — including a recommendation on our current BI vendor relationship
- We expect every project44 team member, regardless of role or function, to actively leverage AI in their day-to-day work. Whether you’re building product, serving customers, managing people, or running operations, AI is a tool you’re expected to use with intent, curiosity, and judgment
- We don’t expect everyone to be a data scientist. We do expect everyone to be an intelligent user of AI: able to identify where it adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate outputs critically, and govern it responsibly. We invest in our team’s AI fluency because we believe it’s a competitive advantage for every person at project44, not just our engineers- Comfort operating in ambiguity — this charter has been informally covered by several people, and you’ll need to define its edges as much as execute inside them
- A track record of shipping analytics or reporting products, ideally including vendor or build-vs-buy decisions for embedded BI
- Experience designing for multiple personas within one product, with the configurability-vs-complexity trade-off made explicit rather than assumed
- Range across both technical platform work and user experience — credible with engineering on data models, APIs, and search performance, and a real partner to Design on UX vision and prototypes
- Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a role if you meet just 50% of the role’s requirements
- 6+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time owning platform, identity/access, or infrastructure-adjacent surfaces — not only customer-facing features
- Enterprise B2B SaaS experience; supply chain, logistics, or another data-intensive vertical platform is a strong plus
- Working knowledge of IAM concepts (roles, permissions, tenancy, authorization) deep enough to have real trade-off conversations with engineering
- Clear, direct writing — PRDs and briefs a busy exec can read in five minutes and act on
- Experience evaluating or migrating embedded analytics/BI vendors
- Experience integrating an acquired company’s users and data onto a unified platform and permissions model
- Familiarity with freight/logistics security requirements (cargo visibility restrictions, data-sharing constraints) or equivalent regulated-data experience
