About The Role:
As Product Manager – Transportation, you’ll own the roadmap and execution for the technology that powers Veho’s first and middle mile operations. Your charter spans the transportation execution lifecycle—from truck scheduling and dock flow to yard visibility and trailer departure accuracy—with a focus on maximizing on-time performance and operational efficiency at scale.
You’ll define, build, and iterate on features across Veho’s transportation execution stack, including our 3P TMS (Turvo) and YMS-like systems. You’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams across Ground Operations, Facilities Tech, Network Orchestration, Data Science, and Engineering to ensure Veho’s trucks, docks, and yards run predictably every day.
Your responsibilities will include:
1. Transportation Execution Platform - Own the core workflows that govern Veho’s first and middle-mile movements including load plan creation to truck check-in and dock assignment to departure confirmation and real-time tracking.
2. Yard and Dock Operations - Design tools that digitize yard movements, trailer appointment scheduling, and load handoffs. Streamline how Ground Ops manage inbound/outbound flow to reduce dwell and increase trailer turns.
3. Real-Time Visibility & Control - Integrate live truck status, load completion, and departure forecasts into Veho’s WMS. Empower operators to proactively identify and resolve risks to on-time delivery.
4. Exception & Disruption Handling - Transform today’s ad-hoc workflows into structured, automated recovery systems. Enable instant detection, escalation, and resolution for missed departures, late arrivals, and capacity surges.
5. Utilization & Capacity Levers - Equip Ops with the data and decision support needed to hit utilization targets. Help determine when to consolidate, split, or dispatch additional trucks to maintain >75% utilization without service risk.
6. Tool Simplification & Self-Service - Unify siloed tools into a single, intuitive interface. Enable Operations to manage transportation schedules, ETAs, and trailer assignments without engineering support.
7. Operational Enablement - Build for the end user—the load planners, transportation managers, dock manager, and dispatcher. Drive adoption through tight feedback loops with facility teams.
8. On-the-Ground Learning - Spend time in hubs and spokes observing trailer loading, dwell patterns, and dispatch processes. Translate real-world bottlenecks into measurable product improvements.
What a Great Candidate Looks Like:
- Execution-Oriented: You drive impact through operational clarity—your products make trucks move faster and facilities run cleaner.
- Data-Driven: You obsess over delivering on key metrics, using real-time data, forecasts, and experimentation to inform decisions.
- Systems Thinker: You understand how TMS, YMS, and WMS systems connect and design for seamless execution.
- Empathetic for Operators: You build intuitive workflows that match how Ground Ops actually work.
- Collaborative Influencer: You partner across Eng, Design, Ops, and Data Science to align on measurable outcomes.
- Structured Communicator: You translate technical and operational complexity into crisp, actionable narratives and requirements.
Nice to Have (but Not Required):
- Experience with Transportation or Yard Management Systems (e.g., Turvo, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, project44, FourKites)
- Background in carrier, 3PL, or warehouse logistics environments
- Experience building tools for transportation field or facility operators
- Understanding of load planning
