Full description
At FourKites we have the opportunity to tackle complex challenges with real-world impacts. Whether it’s medical supplies from Cardinal Health or groceries for Walmart, the FourKites platform helps customers operate global supply chains that are efficient, agile and sustainable.
Industry Context: AI-driven supply chain innovations reduce logistics costs by 15%+, inventory by 35%+, and improve service efficiency by 65%+. Companies prioritize AI-enabled automation as the key enabler for customer experience, sustainability, and resilience.
Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity**.
We're looking for a sharp, curious, and execution-oriented Associate Product Manager to join the OTR & Core Visibility team — the flagship product line at FourKites, used by some of the world's largest shippers to track billions of dollars of freight every day.
This is not a traditional PM support role. You will own meaningful product outcomes from day one — working hands-on with data, engaging directly with enterprise customers, and partnering with engineering and design to ship features that move the needle on adoption, retention, and customer experience.
You'll sit at the intersection of supply chain operations and modern software product development, and you'll need both: deep empathy for how freight actually moves, and the analytical rigor to translate that into product bets worth making.
What you'll be doing
Product Ownership & Adoption (40%)
- Track and analyze feature adoption, engagement, and retention KPIs for OTR and core visibility products
- Identify friction points and adoption gaps through usage data, customer interviews, and feedback loops with Customer Success and Sales
- Build and prioritize a backlog of targeted product enhancements that drive measurable improvement in customer stickiness
- Support roadmap planning alongside senior PMs, contributing well-reasoned prioritization recommendations
Data & Insights (30%)
- Work hands-on with product analytics platforms (Pendo, Mixpanel) and write SQL queries to independently explore feature usage and customer behavior
- Build and maintain dashboards and reports that track adoption trends across customer segments
- Translate quantitative findings into clear product hypotheses and actionable backlog items
- Partner with Data Science and Engineering on instrumentation improvements and event tracking
Customer Engagement (20%)
- Participate in customer onboarding calls, QBRs, support escalations, and discovery sessions to develop a ground-level understanding of shipper workflows
