We are passionate about thinking big and solving really complex problems to make the lives of truck drivers, shippers and other people in freight industry easier through our innovation and technology. There will always be a better, more efficient way to transport goods, and we won’t ever stop inventing it.

Who we’re looking for:

This role is an ideal fit for someone who is interested in developing automated systems that keep our marketplace an ideal place for Carriers and Shippers by ensuring that supply and demand remain in balance. The continuous growth of Convoy’s network, as well as the continuous moving nature of freight supply makes this an existentially important challenge for Convoy and a great opportunity for a quantitatively deep product leader looking to make a difference in a hyper-growth environment.

You will have ownership over the following:

  • Ownership of the roadmap, metrics, and technology that ensure Convoy carefully balances and optimizes the distribution of freight capacity across our network.
  • Build the tooling and intelligence that Convoy uses to track and respond to changes in market dynamics.
  • Roadmap & Features: You will own the product roadmap for part of Convoy. We organize the team, so you get clear accountability for a large area.
  • Metrics & Experimentation: You will define the metrics, goals and measure experiments.
  • Optimization & Insights: You will work with data scientists to deeply understand our marketplace and how both Shippers and Carriers respond to the incentives we create.

You have the following skills & experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Economics, or other quantitative field.
  • 4+ years of proven success in Product Management.
  • Experience working with technical teams.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Preferred: Experience in enterprise pricing or market mechanism-design.
  • MBA preferred.

Benefits of working at Convoy:

  • Health &Wellness: Taking care of your health comes first. Convoy covers 100% of your medical, dental, and vision premiums, and 85% for your family. We also provide access to the gym and showers in our building.
  • In-Office Happiness: Enjoy catered meals multiple times through the week, and fully stocked fridges and pantries to keep you running full.
  • Commuter Benefits: We transport the world; the least we can do is help get you to work. Every employee receives a fully paid Orca Card to get you around on the bus, light rail, or water taxi. We also provide locked bike storage if you prefer to pedal in.
  • Time Off: Life outside of work matters! Convoy has a flexible vacation policy, so take the time off you need- we don’t track vacation or sick time. We also offer generous parental leave for those expecting new additions to their family.
  • Compensation: We offer market competitive compensation, including stock options and a 401k plan to help save for retirement.
