Job Description
We’re looking for a visionary Senior Product Manager to own the product strategy for Baton's Machine Learning pod. Baton's ML infrastructure and model portfolio are maturing fast — from planning and scheduling optimization models to ETA prediction to Generative AI models — and this role exists to make sure that investment converts into measurable, durable value for Ryder and its customers. This role is crucial as we expand our long-term roadmap to build the next-generation freight technology platform.
As an early product manager at Baton, you’ll have an opportunity to make a huge impact through owning numerous mission-critical product initiatives. You'll own the 0->1 definition and prioritization of AI-driven product initiatives, partner closely with ML/infrastructure engineers and data scientists, and drive the transition of pilots and PoCs into production. We're looking for someone scrappy, technically fluent, and driven to turn ML capability into shipped products.
Responsibilities
- Lead the full product development life cycle, from need-finding to product vision and execution
- Own product strategy and roadmap prioritization for the ML Pod's portfolio of models and AI initiatives
- Own the initiative to improve ETA prediction accuracy and other model metrics
- Identify and address technological constraints that limit the growth of the business unit
