Leaf Logistics
Product Manager or Lead (Remote)
We are Leaf
Leaf is on a mission to upend the way companies buy and sell transportation. Every year, billions of dollars, hundreds of megatons of carbon and millions of person-hours are wasted because the companies who ship goods and the companies who carry them aren’t upfront about their needs and abilities. Our platform finds ways for buyers and sellers to contract binding commitments for plannable and predictable freight and allows those contracts to be traded when needs change. In time, Leaf will become the hub through which the trillion-dollar American freight market is managed.
We are a team of experienced, smart, and mildly disagreeable troublemakers who like taking on unreasonably big challenges; we know how to build things, we’ve lived what’s broken in this industry, and we’re looking for bright, ambitious people to help us drag the transportation world kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
What does the Product Manager/Lead do?
The problems we solve every day are real and require creativity, grit, and determination. We are building a culture that challenges norms while fostering experimentation and personal growth. We are hiring a tenacious team who are passionate and energized by the vision to simplify and transform one of the largest and most complex industries through technology, data, and a strong commitment to customers.
The Product Manager/Lead is responsible for setting and managing the long-term vision and strategy for Leaf’s products and communicating this strategy to all relevant participants and stakeholders. They will translate that vision into a product, see that product to market and maintain both product quality and team morale in the process. The Product Manager/Lead will work alongside our CTO/engineering and marketing teams to manage the product roadmap, providing the strategies and decisions behind Leaf’s products.
