Convoy is transforming the $800 billion trucking industry, where even 10 years ago, most truck drivers did not have smartphones and paper driver logs were common. In 2015, Convoy launched the digital freight movement with an open and fully connected marketplace for brands and manufacturers to work directly with freight carriers who move truckload shipments throughout the country. This ‘Digital Freight Network’ is powered by machine learning and automation, and supported by a broad, ever-growing set of features that benefit both sides of the marketplace.

We’ve also been backed by world-class investors, including Google, YCombinator, Fidelity, Greylock Generation, Lone Pine, T. Rowe Price, Baillie Gifford and the founders and CEOs of Amazon, Salesforce, eBay, LinkedIn, Expedia, Dropbox, Starbucks, and others.

This is your opportunity to collaborate with an incredible group of people and help transform the freight industry. Join Convoy and help us transport the world with endless capacity and zero waste.

What you'll be doing


Globally trucking is a multi-trillion-dollar industry that’s been left unchanged for decades. Convoy's innovations like Automated Reloads, Convoy Go, Convoy Connect, and many more to come are challenging the historical constraints in the industry. We are looking for a Product Manager to lead an exciting new line of business that takes Convoy's impact to the next level. 


Are you passionate about working autonomously and being responsible for initiatives end-to-end? You will own the vision, roadmap, and execution of this effort, with the outcomes directly impacting Convoy's overarching strategy. To help you succeed, you will lead a "pod" that can consist of engineers, designers, data scientists, and others to achieve your vision.

Your responsibilities will be:

  • Strategy: You will identify and answer key strategy questions, and drive alignment with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
  • Roadmap & Features: You will own the product roadmap for this line of business, and work with shippers, carriers and internal teams.
  • Metrics & Experimentation: You will define metrics and goals to drive progress across the team in terms of day to day business as well as experiments.

You have the following skills and experiences:

  • PM experience: 8+ years leading a breakthrough product through multiple iterations.
  • Measuring success amidst ambiguity: Structuring the problem, defining roadmap & metrics, running experiments, and testing.
  • Customer oriented: Works backward from customer and understands needs. Can generate empathy with consumer and business customers.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communicator.
  • Data-driven: Experience defining metrics and running experiments and testing. Comfortable writing own SQL and understanding ML concepts.

Bonus skills and experience:

  • Experience with launching new lines of business and/or products in new markets.
  • Experience in transportation tech.
  • Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering or Computer Science background.
