• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams (sales, operations, IT, finance) through product development
• Strong project management skills to oversee pilots, testing, and service launches
• Experience with agile methodologies is a plus (especially if the 3PL has a tech platform)

• Comfort with data analysis tools (Excel, SQL, BI platforms like Tableau or Power BI)
• Ability to model cost, time, and operational impacts of new products
• Basic understanding of APIs or system integration if working on tech-enabled logistics product
• Experience defining product vision, roadmaps, and feature requirements
• Ability to translate customer pain points into actionable product requirements (BRDs, PRDs)
