Principal Product Manager, Transportation
About the role
This role is responsible for owning the product strategy and execution for the technology that drives Veho's first and middle mile shipments. The portfolio spans the full TMS suite: First and Middle-Mile Execution, Lane Setup and Management, Carrier Management and Integration, Shipment Tracking, and Check-In/Check-Out processes.
Key Responsibilities
Portfolio Strategy & Vision: Own the 1–2 year transportation technology strategy, deciding where to invest, divest, or double down. Author the planning narratives and operating frameworks that define how we move packages between facilities.
Metric Ownership & Rigor: Own the area-level metric framework, presenting network health and performance to the Executive team. Create the WBR/MBR operating cadence for metrics-driven decisions, holding teams accountable for initiatives that don't meet ROI targets.
Execution: Allocate engineering capacity across your portfolio by strategic priority. Make high-level decisions for transportation management systems (TMS) or routing engines and are accountable for the area’s overall quality.
Management of Leaders: Manage Senior PMs, coaching them on strategy quality and organizational design rather than day-to-day spec writing.
Builder Mindset & AI Leverage: Set the standard for AI proficiency within your org. Prototype, use AI tools, and ship solutions yourself. Expect your team to move with the same velocity.
Experience
8+ years of product management experience.
Direct transportation management operations product experience (required).
Deep experience building or owning transportation tech, middle-mile routing, or linehaul systems.
Systems Thinking: Can see how a delay in a middle-mile leg affects facility labor staffing, which in turn affects driver launch times. Translate this into product requirements that prioritize the global optimum over local team wins.
Track record shipping transportation technology that moved real metrics (Truck Utilization, Network Cost, Carrier Performance, On Time Delivery).
Builder mindset: Low tolerance for bureaucracy and high bias for action. Comfort with prototyping, AI tooling, and shipping directly.
Systems thinking across software and physical operations.
Network rollout and change management experience.
Strong writing skills, with a history of producing strategy docs and PR/FAQs that require minimal structural revision.
Stellar communication and stakeholder management skills.
Demonstrated ability to build, lead, and develop high-performing teams.
Preferred (but Not Required)
Experience at world class operations along with a high-growth logistics tech startup.
