Senior Product Manager

Remote – North or South America | Full-Time | Canals AI

Canals is a bootstrapped, profitable startup transforming wholesale distribution (a trillion-dollar industry) with AI. Our platform integrates seamlessly with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe. We’re a 50-person, fully remote team (30 in engineering) across North and South America, operating at millions in ARR and growing rapidly without outside funding.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to join Canals as our second full-time product hire. You’ll work directly with our CEO, who has owned all product work to date.

We need someone obsessed with UX clarity — someone who thinks deeply about user behavior, flow, and comprehension. Your job is to make sure there is no ambiguity in how the product is used. Every button, every screen, every flow should be unbreakable and self-evident — even to users who aren't tech-savvy.

You should be the kind of PM who gets joy from anticipating user confusion and eliminating it. Who sees a subtle UX flaw and can’t rest until it’s fixed. Who builds clean, elegant product experiences that guide users to success without needing training or guesswork.

• Work directly with the CEO to define, refine, and own product direction

• Develop intuitive product flows that reduce cognitive load and eliminate user error

• Collaborate closely with design and engineering to ensure UX is seamless and intentional

• Prioritize simplicity and clarity in every decision — from language to layout

• Deeply understand user behavior and spot points of friction before they cause problems

• Turn high-level goals into clearly defined, well-scoped product specs and flows

• Fight for great UX and customer empathy at every stage of development

• Own the product roadmap and ensure consistent progress on core product quality

• 5+ years of product management experience, preferably in SaaS or enterprise software

• Track record of shipping clean, simple, high-clarity user experiences

• Deep intuition for UX and user behavior — you anticipate where users get confused

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

• Able to work independently with high ownership and initiative

• Experience working with early-stage teams or fast-paced startups is a plus

• Bonus: background in design or front-end is highly valuable

• Bootstrapped and profitable: no investors, no pivots — just real momentum

• Product-led growth: your work directly drives adoption and retention

• Big opportunity: shape the foundation of a product used across global supply chains

• High-trust, remote-first team with autonomy and low bureaucracy

• Work with passionate engineers and founders who care deeply about what they’re building
