The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the strategy, roadmap, and delivery for how third-party systems connect to DAT's ecosystem in our Seattle Office. You'll set the direction for TMS partner integrations (postings, rates, tracking, carrier onboarding/monitoring), shape DAT's public and partner-facing API strategy, and be the product owner accountable for turning "integrate once, use all of DAT" from a stated vision into a working reality.

This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role. You'll work closely with engineering leads on integration architecture, with TMS partners, and with product teams whose roadmaps depend on integration reliability, and with sales/partnership success on what brokers are actually asking for.

What You’ll Do

• TMS Integration Roadmap — Define and prioritize the roadmap for broker-side TMS connectivity. Drive migration off legacy SOAP/FTP protocols and manage the tradeoffs and unique requirements for major TMS partner integrations.
• API Strategy & Governance — Own the roadmap for DAT's public and partner APIs, including usage governance, tiering, and monitoring. Establish the metering, attribution, and access-control mechanisms on DAT's API surface, and make deliberate calls on what's open, what's gated, and what's monetized.
• Partner & Vendor Relationships — Serve as DAT's product-side counterpart to TMS vendors and integration partners. Run partner conversations on integration requirements, and manage the realities of a fragmented, unevenly-modernized partner landscape.
• Cross-Team Dependency Management — Act as the connective layer between domain product teams whose features depend on integration infrastructure, and the platform/integrations engineering org building it. Resolve prioritization conflicts and keep dependent roadmaps synchronized.
• Business Case & Strategy — Build the business case for integration investment: define what "done" looks like for reliability and time-to-integrate, help settle DAT's revenue/value model for integrations. 

The Skills and Experience You’ll Bring

• 8+ years of product management experience, including demonstrated ownership of integration, platform, or API products — ideally in freight, logistics, or another data/transaction-heavy B2B domain.
• Technical fluency with integration patterns: REST APIs, webhooks, and the practical tradeoffs between polling and event-driven architectures. You need to credibly review a design doc and ask the right questions.
• Partner-facing experience — comfort running roadmap and requirements conversations directly with external vendors/partners.
• Comfort with ambiguity and legacy complexity — this space has technical debt and you will be building the plan to modernize it.
• Strong cross-functional communication — you'll need to translate between engineering, partner/BD conversations, and executive strategy conversations on integration needs.
