By combining proprietary data, purpose-built software, and a large vendor network, the platform enables businesses to better manage waste operations while improving sustainability outcomes.

The Role

This is a senior, player–coach leadership role responsible for both setting product strategy and staying hands-on in execution. You’ll oversee the product function while directly owning the core platform—driving discovery, prioritization, and delivery. You’ll partner closely with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to turn business objectives and customer insights into shipped product.

• Act as the hands-on Product Manager for the core platform, leading discovery through delivery
• Manage and mentor a small product team while building scalable processes
• Define product vision, success metrics, and prioritization frameworks
• Partner cross-functionally to align on product direction and execution
• Translate customer and operational needs into clear product requirements
• Drive user research, feedback loops, and data analysis to inform decisions
• Lead release planning and support go-to-market efforts
• Track product performance through KPIs and iterate accordingly
• Balance strategic leadership with hands-on product development
• Identify opportunities to improve both customer experience and operational efficiency

What They’re Looking For

• 7\+ years in Product Management, including experience leading or mentoring others
• Track record of owning product strategy while remaining hands-on
• Strong experience building and scaling B2B SaaS products
• Deep familiarity with agile development and cross-functional collaboration
• Ability to operate in a player–coach capacity across strategy and execution
• Strong communication and stakeholder alignment skills
• Data-driven mindset with strong product intuition
• Comfort in fast-paced, ambiguous, high-growth environments
• Bonus: experience in logistics, marketplaces, or operationally complex industries

Compensation:

$200,000K - $270,000K. Flexibility with experience.
