Job Description

We’re hiring a Group Product Manager to lead our Platform pod and drive our biggest commercial product bet of 2026. Platform is the layer underneath everything our customers touch — the horizontal services and shared capabilities every other pod builds on top of. It’s also where we’re standing up new initiatives that take us from internal infrastructure to a competitive market offering.

This is a player-coach role. You’ll spend the early innings of this role as the IC PM yourself — owning our platform roadmap end-to-end through launch, including pricing, ICP, GTM partnership, and customer scoping. As the work scales, you’ll build out and lead a Platform PM team alongside you. You’ll report directly to the Head of Product.

Responsibilities

• Own the work end-to-end. Define the product, the ICP, the GTM motion, and the success metrics. Take new initiatives from the first sketch all the way through to a live customer, with your hands on the work the whole way.
• Build the team when the work calls for it. Start as the IC PM yourself. Bring on the next PMs when the work demands them, not before. Run honest performance conversations, write development plans that actually move people, and hire PMs who raise the bar.
• Make the horizontals compound. Keep our shared platform services shipping on a predictable cadence, with clear commitments to the pods that build on top of them.
• Set the operating rhythm. Own how Platform plans, reviews, and ships. Make the writing — PRDs, strategy docs, retros — strong enough to let the team scale beyond your direct attention.
• Be ready to hold the room with senior Ryder leadership. You’ll present product strategy directly to executives at one of the largest logistics businesses in the world. You need to be ready for that conversation on day one.

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years in product, with at least 3 of those actively managing PMs
• You’ve shipped a horizontal or platform product to enterprise customers through a full 0→1→scale arc
• You’ve been the first or second PM at a startup at some point in your career
• You’re comfortable presenting strategy directly to senior enterprise leadership without anyone covering for you
• You’re high-tolerance for ambiguity, and you resolve it by writing things down rather than scheduling more meetings

Preferred Qualifications

• Logistics, supply chain, transportation, or fleet domain experience
• You’ve shipped AI features inside a product, not just used AI tools internally
• You’ve worked in a Fortune-500-meets-startup environment — selling enterprise from a small team
• You’ve hired PMs who have become better than you

The Perks

• Competitive Base Salary + Cash Bonus Structure
• Annual Company Bonus + Long Term Incentive Plan
• 401k with Matching
• Hybrid Work Schedule
• Hyper-Stable, publicly traded Enterprise
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Health Coverage
• Employee Stock Purchase Program (15% discount to market value)
• Collaborative, Fun, and Tech Forward office in Hayes Valley, San Francisco, CA

Compensation Range: The annual base salary range for this position is $220,000 – $270,000*. Compensation will vary based on factors including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. In addition to base salary, Baton’s full-time employees are eligible for an annual performance bonus.
