Staff Product Manager

Join Kodiak, a leader in autonomous trucking, as a Staff Product Manager. In this senior individual contributor role, you will shape product strategy, customer deployment, and commercialization. You will unify cross-functional teams, own the product lifecycle, set prioritization frameworks, define product requirements, and serve as the senior product relationship owner with key customers. This remote-friendly position offers a generous benefits package and the opportunity to make a significant impact in the autonomous vehicle industry.

• Definir la hoja de ruta del producto a largo plazo, basada en las necesidades del cliente y la dinámica competitiva.
• Unificar a los equipos de Ingeniería, Gestión de Programas, Operaciones y Comercial en torno a una visión compartida del producto.
• Ser el propietario de la relación con los clientes clave, construyendo confianza y traduciendo la complejidad operativa en dirección del producto.
• Cross-functional leadership without authority: You are the person other functions bring in to drive alignment, not just participate in it. You set the agenda and hold teams accountable to shared outcomes
• Communication at the executive level: Able to distill complex product and technical tradeoffs into clear, confident narratives for C-suite, board, and customer audiences — and to do so under pressure
• Ambiguity at scale: Proven ability to set structure and direction in genuinely novel problem spaces — where there is no playbook, the market is evolving, and the cost of getting it wrong is high
• Customer and commercial acumen: Experience owning high-stakes external customer relationships and connecting product decisions to fleet economics, operational outcomes, and contract commitments
• 10+ years of Product Management experience, with at least several years operating as a senior IC driving strategy independently across complex, technical product domains — ideally in autonomous vehicles, robotics, logistics, or safety-critical systems
• Demonstrated organizational influence: Track record of shaping product strategy and roadmap decisions at the VP level and above; you have changed the direction of a program or product area through the strength of your judgment and communication, not just your title
• Technical authority: Deep enough technical fluency to engage credibly with engineering leadership on architecture, system design, and feasibility tradeoffs — not just translate requirements. Background in engineering, computer science, or a related field required
