Staff Product Manager
On-siteShanghai, Shanghai, China
Job Summary
Own the vision and strategy for the AI-powered freight operating system, defining how multiple operational surfaces automate work end-to-end while progressively removing humans from the loop. Drive measurable business impact by tying initiatives to cost savings, productivity per operator, cycle time, and margin, owning the P&L-level outcomes of your domain. Reengineer operations by mapping and redesigning underlying processes before automation, influencing stakeholders to adopt a leaner operating model across engineering, design, operations, and commercial teams. Build metrics frameworks connecting automation rates and product health to guide investment, then represent your domain in leadership forums to influence resource allocation. Mentor product managers on specs, prioritization, and trade-offs while operating at both strategic and execution levels.
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years of product management experience
- Demonstrated ability to own a product domain (not just a feature or single product area) and drive outcomes across multiple teams
- A track record of building products that delivered quantifiable business impact (e.g., cost reduction, automation of manual work, throughput gains)
- Demonstrated operational process engineering and consulting ability: you can diagnose how a complex process works, redesign it, and influence stakeholders to adopt a new operating model
- Experience building automation, workflow, or AI-powered products that replaced or significantly reduced manual human effort
- Strong analytical and quantitative skills. You build metrics frameworks, write your own queries, and use data to settle debates
- SQL proficiency required
- Experience shipping intuitive UX in data-dense, complex domains where the user workflow spans multiple steps or systems
- Experience aligning cross-functional teams (engineering, design, operations, commercial) around a shared roadmap when priorities compete
- Proven ability to operate at the strategy level (where should we invest, and why) and the execution level (what ships this quarter, and what does "done" look like) in the same week
- Excellent written and verbal communication, especially the ability to frame trade-offs, present recommendations to senior leadership, and create clarity in ambiguous situations
- Experience mentoring or leading other PMs, formally or informally
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with B2B workflow software, supply chain platforms, or logistics technology is a plus
- Experience in logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain operations is highly desirable
