Kpler is expanding its Maritime & Logistics offering through two complementary products: Container Intelligence and Automotive Intelligence. Container Intelligence builds on Kpler's existing container tracking capabilities, providing per‑container ocean visibility alongside insights into terminal congestion, queues, stay and wait times, and predictive vessel ETAs and ETDs.

This is an individual‑contributor role for an experienced product professional who can manage multiple workstreams in parallel, make clear trade‑offs and deliver data‑driven products in an evolving market.
