The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager who will own the vision, roadmap, and execution across Zūm’s core platform. This is a highly strategic role for someone who thinks like a builder, balancing the near term with the long term vision. A successful PM in the role would be comfortable combining product sense, customer empathy, and platform & systems thinking. Your work will directly impact operational efficiency, customer satisfaction & retention, and sales enablement. You will work with a talented team of product leaders, designers, and engineers to innovate and enhance Zūm’s transportation platform across multiple mobile and web touch points.

Key Competencies

  • Strong in platform and systems thinking; capable of creating modular building blocks that scale across districts, geographies, and use cases.
  • Experienced with SaaS product development, ideally with configurable enterprise workflows.
  • Technically fluent to navigate APIs, integrations, sensor/GPS data, routing logic, or mobile workflows.
  • Scrappy, resourceful, and resilient; comfortable solving problems without waiting for perfect inputs.
  • A “roll-up-your-sleeves” builder with a bias for action who loves digging into constraints, edge cases, operational nuance, and real-world workflows.
  • Great at introducing lightweight processes to help a scaling org move faster, not slower.
  • Someone who takes full ownership of outcomes and is nimble: value delivered, operational performance, customer delight, business impact.
  • Comfortable working across a uniquely complex stakeholder universe: engineering, design, sales, routers, drivers, dispatch, payroll, finance, districts, and more.

Experience

  • 5+ years of product management experience, including owning a core product area end-to-end.
  • Experience shipping SaaS products for enterprise or operational users.
  • Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous, and constraint-heavy environments.
  • Passion for mission-driven work and designing systems with real-world impact at scale.
  • A demonstrated track record of shipping high-impact customer-facing features.
  • Experience in mobility, logistics, fleets, marketplaces, or operationally complex products is a strong plus.
