Job description

LSP44 is the AI-native agent and API infrastructure company forlogisticsservice providers - the 3PLs, freight forwarders, and brokers who move the world’s freight. Built on more than a decade of the largest logistics data graph and carrier network on Earth (280,000+ carriers, 1.5 billion shipments, 706 million carrier events processed daily), LSP44 gives LSPs the AI agents, carrier infrastructure, and developer capabilities to embed intelligence directly into their own products and workflows.

LSP44isn’ta startup chasing a market -it’sthe original infrastructure project44 built starting in 2014, and nine of the world’s ten largestlogisticsservice providers already run on it. LSP44 launched profitable on day one, with its own sales, engineering, and product leadership, and a mandate to move at the speed of the LSPs it serves.

If you want to build technology that ships in days instead of quarters, that LSPs embed directly into how theyoperate, andthat’sgrounded in more data and context than anyone else in the category - we should talk.

AI at LSP44

Every LSP44 team member is expected to be an intelligent, hands-on user of AI - and for Product, that bar is even higher: the productsyou’redefining are AI agents. We don’t expect everyone to be a data scientist, but we do expect everyone to identify where AI adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate its outputs critically, and govern it responsibly, in your own workflow and in the products you build.

Overview

We’relooking for a Product Manager to help define and build LSP44’s next generation of AI agent and API infrastructure, in close partnership withProduct, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing. This is a hands-on, builder role on a small, senior product team: you’ll own product areas across the LSP44 agent portfolio-spanning carrier procurement, rate & quote, dispatch, exception recovery, visibility, documents, and freight audit-working directly with forward-deployed engineers and customers to turn deep operational knowledge of how 3PLs, freight forwarders, and brokers work into shipped product.

What you’ll own

You’lldefine the strategy and roadmap for one or more areas of the LSP44 agent portfolioand technology, grounded in direct conversations with LSP customers and the realities of howlogisticsservice providersoperate, embed, and buy.You’llpartner daily with Engineering-including forward-deployed engineers working on-site with customers-to translate operational context into requirements, andyou’llcarry those requirements through delivery: scoping, prioritizing, and keeping trade-offs visible along the way.

Key responsibilities

• Define and own product strategy and roadmap for one or more LSP44 agent product linesand technology, in partnership withProduct, Engineering,Sales,and Marketing.
• Translate deep knowledge of LSP operations-carrier procurement, dispatch, exception management, freight audit, and more-into clear, prioritized product requirements
• Partner closely with forward-deployed engineers embedded with LSP customers to surface real needs andvalidatesolutions in production
• Write clear specs and PRDs, and drive execution acrossProduct, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing,from definition through ship
• Ensure everything you build is designed to embed cleanly into a customer’s own tech stack via API and SDK-LSP44 products are built to be embedded, not adopted
• Partner with Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure new agent capabilities are field-ready at launch

Ideal background

• Product management experience inlogistics, supply chain, freight brokerage, TMS, or another operationally complex B2B/API-first domain
• Comfortable operating in a lean, fast-moving, 0-to-1 environment, partnering tightly with engineering rather than through hand-offs
• Strong customer instinct-able to run discovery independently and translate operator-level detail into product direction
• Experience with API or developer-facing products a plus

Requirements & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in any discipline that has built your technical or analytical chops, from computer science to business
• 4+ years of Product Management experience, ideally in B2B SaaS,logistics, or infrastructure/API products
• Track recordof partnering directly with engineering to define and ship technical products
• Strong written and verbal communication, able to translate between technical and business stakeholders
• Comfortable working across distributed teams and time zones
• Supply chain,logistics, or freight brokerage experience is a strong plus
• Detail-oriented but strategic — equally comfortable in the weeds of implementation and presenting direction to leadership
