Toronto, Ontario, Canada RPM Freight Systems Full time

About RPM Freight Systems:

We exist to revolutionize the way that logistics and transportation companies work together. We do this by building industry-specific freight management software that connects thousands of carriers and shippers in a single marketplace. We improve efficiency and reduce costs for logistics companies while driving new business to carriers across the continent.

We're one of the fastest-growing logistics startups, a certified great place to work, and recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in North America. RPM Freight Systems is backed by world-leading venture capital funds.

Our team is passionate about growth, innovation, and collaboration - if you are passionate about making an impact and putting in the work to get there, you're likely a great fit for our team.

The Role:

As the Director of Product Development, you've built products to scale, and have a track record of leading high-performance teams. You'll get to make and drive significant decisions that have a high-level impact on the business while redefining the industry. Ideally, you have experience in leading product development in a B2B/B2C marketplace; supporting a business from Series A fundraising, through multiple rounds and perhaps a successful exit.

As a Member of Our Team You Will:

  • Collaborate on product strategy, road-mapping, and be accountable for roadmap execution across the organization.
  • Proven track record collaborating on implementing product-led growth strategies that drive user acquisition, engagement, and retention. The director of product development should be experienced in data-driven decision-making to optimize product features and user experiences.
  • Create and empower a professional product management discipline. You'll lead a multi-functional product team and contribute to the recruitment of experienced Product Managers and Designers from your network who have overseen multiple stages of the lifecycle as needed.
  • Hire experienced product managers who have shipped products at scale and then managed them through their lifecycle.
  • Represent product development across the organization. Product is the central spoke in communicating with, integrating feedback from, and pushing back on design, engineering, sales, marketing, operations, customer support, and other functions.
  • Empower PMs in the organization to work effectively and get things done. The director of product development should also clearly define, and get cross-company buy-in on, the roles and responsibilities of PMs and the adoption of simple product development processes.
  • Build programs to train and support new employees. Ensure that RPM Freight Systems has proper mentoring and training to support new PMs, and work with Directors to ensure the same for all product teams.
  • Set cross-company product development processes. Develop processes needed to run product development efficiently, prioritize product decisions, and launch products.

You're the Missing Piece of the Puzzle:

  • 10+ years experience in all aspects of product development - driving growth through innovation and relentless execution.
  • Proven effective leadership of multiple functions: Product, Design, Analytics.
  • Our ideal candidate has experience with a B2B/B2C marketplace supporting a business through series A to exit.
  • Proven experience building infrastructure to scale and at scale: defining the optimal structure.
  • History of building and coaching high-performing teams who are motivated to do better and think bigger as a result of your leadership.
  • Product experience making product decisions based on user data.
  • Proven expertise in developing and refining internal processes to maximize velocity & quality.
  • Entrepreneurial and driven with a record of accomplishment in building and scaling intuitive, compelling consumer-focused products.
  • Intimate knowledge of user-centric design principles and best practices.
  • Outstanding listener, great presenter, terrific interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Strong awareness of technology trends and potential influence on the current and future business.

Areas of Focus:

  • Adoption and Retention
  • Marketplace Health
  • Responsiveness
  • Payments + factoring workflow
  • Complete vendor tooling
  • Smart templated RFQs with predictive pricing

What's In It For You:

  • Pivotal role at a high growth, venture-backed company.
  • Employee Stock Options
  • Comprehensive health benefits package including medical care, dental and vision care, life insurance, etc and a health spending account.
  • Hybrid work opportunity
  • 4 weeks vacation + Paid wellness days
  • Real work/life balance
  • Team events
  • Collaborative tight-knit team
  • Ongoing learning and development opportunities
  • Employer top-ups for maternity and parental leave

Compensation:

$170-180K
