Job description

About Veho

Veho’s mission is to power the future of commerce by making shopping, shipping and returns seamless for everyone.

We are building a modern, end-to-end logistics infrastructure designed entirely for the ever-evolving needs of ecommerce brands and everyday consumers.

Powered by next-generation technology and a vertically integrated supply chain, Veho gives brands and their customers unprecedented control over their deliveries and removes the pain from the ecommerce post-purchase experience. We make delivery the ‘extension of the brand’ and leverage it to create deeper loyalty and trust between brands and their customers, driving customer retention and lifetime value. Our rapidly growing client list includes leading consumer brands like HelloFresh, Zara, Macy’s, Sephora, and more.

To truly build an iconic company, we strongly believe that our people and values must be aligned with our mission. As such, we take pride in our championship team, merit-based culture. We seek team players who want to compete, win, make an impact and build a legacy, and we reward performance and impact players with generous equity and incredible career growth opportunities.

About the Role

The Staff Product Manager, Transportation owns middle-mile planning and execution end to end. This covers load scheduling (TLS), the TMS workflows that book and track loads, load tracking and ETA data, and dock check-in and release in Trucks & Docks. The users are transportation planners, carriers, and dock and facility teams.

This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. You must be a builder who can not only prototype with AI tools, but can build and ship solutions yourself. You think in systems. You translate that systems thinking into product requirements that engineers can build and operators can execute.

You are an exceptional communicator with high ownership. You present clearly to executives, write PRDs that engineers actually read, and earn credibility with operators by deeply understanding their world. You operate with speed, make decisions with conviction, and have a low tolerance for bureaucracy.

This role sits at the intersection of complex logistics and high-scale software. You will partner tightly with Network Optimization (who designs the physical network flow), Under the Roof Product (to ensure seamless facility handoffs), and Finance and Transportation Operations (to manage unit economics). Your success will be measured by network-wide cost-per-package mile, on-time arrival (OTA), and linehaul utilization.

Key Responsibilities

• Own first and middle-mile planning and execution end to end: own the roadmap, requirements and outcomes for load scheduling (TLS), the TMS workflows that book and track loads, ETA data, and dock check-in and release in Trucks & Docks. Write PRDs engineers can build from and planners can validate, run UAT and rollout with planners, carriers and dock teams, and hold scope through Peak.

• Data, science and decision quality: pull and check the data directly (SQL, Databricks, AI tools). Partner with data scientists on load planning, add/cancel and forecasting features: frames the objective and constraints, judge model output against what actually runs, and decide when to ship. Measure every launch against a baseline and rework or kill what doesn't move the number.

• Lead through influence, answer first: bring recommendations to transportation and network operating leaders. Align Transportation Ops and Planning, Network Orchestration, Under the Roof product/engineering, and Finance on tradeoffs that cross team lines, and optimize for the network over a local win. Owns WBR/MBR inputs and ROI decisions for transportation in collaboration with stakeholders.

• Build and multiply: ship products and features directly whenever possible to increase speed to value. Design AI-augmented workflows and automations for the domain. Set the standard for AI proficiency within your org.

Experience

• 5+ years of product management experience, working with operations-heavy users such as planners, dispatchers, carriers, field teams or facility teams.

• Hands-on builder: you’ve personally built and shipped something recently that people used or that changed a decision, such as a tool, prototype, automation or analysis product. You prototype with AI tools and ship directly.

• Ownership of outcomes: a track record of owning an operating metric and moving it, such as cost per unit, on-time performance, utilization or throughput. You can say what the baseline was, what changed and how you measured it.

• First-principles problem solving: on an unfamiliar problem, you find the binding constraint before you optimize, and you reason to a clear recommendation.

• Systems thinking across software and physical operations: you can see how a delay in a middle-mile leg affects facility labor staffing, which in turn affects driver launch times. You prioritize the network over a local win.

• Data fluency: you pull and check the data yourself (SQL, Databricks, AI tools). You partner with data scientists by framing the objective and constraints, and you judge model output against what actually runs.

• Answer-first communication: you lead with the recommendation, back it up concisely and hold your position under pushback unless the evidence changes. You’re comfortable deciding in the room with senior operating leaders.

• Clear, concise writing: you write PRDs that engineers build from and that operators can validate.

• Experience running UAT, rollout and change management with frontline operations teams.

• A low tolerance for bureaucracy and a high bias for action.

Experience at world class operations along with a high-growth logistics tech startup.
