About Canals

Canals is a fully remote, profitable startup transforming the industrial supply chain ($10T industry) with AI. Our platform seamlessly integrates with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe.

We’re a 70-person team (~45 in engineering), located across North and South America.

The Role

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.

What You’ll Do
  • 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

What You'll Bring
  • Typically, 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

Why Join Canals
  • We're profitable: stability without the chaos of venture pivots.

  • Real-world impact: your work improves global supply chains, saving customers time and reducing waste.

  • Strong engineering culture: we invest in quality and documentation to keep moving fast sustainably.

  • Culture of ownership: moving fast while putting quality first

  • Remote-first, flexible work environment across North and South America.

  • Stellar product-market fit with tons of customer love

  • All star team with diverse backgrounds to collaborate with and learn from
