- Communicate strategy, trade-offs, and outcomes with clarity and conviction in executive-facing forums
- 6+ years of product management experience (or domain-relevant experience), shipping products in complex, data-dense environments
- Strong analytical & quantitative skills: Proficient in SQL, comfortable working with complex datasets, and skilled at building data-driven metrics frameworks
- Domain Focus: Experience building B2B workflow software, internal operator platforms, supply chain execution systems, or freight technology
