The Role:
This Freight Product Operations Manager will join the new Silo freight team to own some of our first freight products - such as Instant Freight Quote and Book.

- Work with the Freight team to continuously refine, revisit and redirect Silo’s freight strategy and Go-to-Market strategy based on learnings from our Operational processes.
- Work closely with relevant stakeholders to solve problems as well as ensure processes and systems are functioning as expected with desired outcomes.
- Own researching, developing, and reporting on payment KPIs, as well as SLA success rates, and develop recommendations for improvements
Requirements:
- 3-5 years of experience working with customer-facing operations products, ideally in freight, logistics or supply chain.
- Comfort with metrics and analytical methods.
- Ability to prioritize and self-direct day to day work, while still remaining an active and collaborative member of a small but highly productive team.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with finance, operations, product, account + implementation, sales, and engineering teams.
- Based in the US.
Bonus points for:
- Experience working at a tech company.
