Product Lead

About Vooma

Enterprise software is in the midst of a revolution. The world is shifting from "systems of record" to "systems of automation" - LLM powered agents and orchestrators that perform complex business tasks on behalf of and in concert with humans, with increasing levels of autonomy.

Vooma's mission is to build the leading AI orchestration platform for America's $800+ BN trucking industry. Everything we touch in the physical world is moved on a truck - it's the backbone of the US economy. Yet logistics today is still extremely manual, which makes it one of the hungriest industries for the shift toward AI Agents.

Vooma is backed by top-tier investors including Index Ventures, Craft Ventures Y-Combinator, and CEOs, founders and executives from Nolan, Arrive, MoLo, NFI, Convoy, Uber Freight, Motive, Loop, OTR Capital, Project44, Trucker Tools and more. We have enterprise contracts with many of the largest freight businesses in the US.

About the role

As our first Product Lead, you'll work directly with the founders to shape the vision, strategy, and execution of Vooma's AI-powered products. This is a high-impact leadership role where you'll reimagine how AI can transform logistics operations from the ground up. You'll be the driving force behind product decisions that will define the future of freight tech and set industry standards for AI integration in logistics workflows.

You're the right person for this role if you thrive in ambiguity, can translate complex customer problems into elegant product solutions, and are excited by the challenge of building something revolutionary that didn't exist before.

This is a rare opportunity to join a talented and experienced team at the ground level to build a transformational company for a critical industry.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Working closely with the founders, customers, and broader team to design and drive the product roadmap that delivers measurable business outcomes
• Identifying and collaborating with designers to build frictionless user experiences for our AI-powered products
• Reimagining novel product experiences that leverage the latest in AI capabilities to solve real-world logistics problems
• Making difficult prioritization decisions to keep the team focused on highest-impact initiatives while acting as a productivity multiplier for engineering
• Conducting deep customer discovery to understand key KPIs and build experiences that regularly measure and communicate impact and progress to customers
• Building onboarding and activation experiences that tend toward self-serve with low operational overhead
• Creating a product culture obsessed with simplicity, user delight, and measurable customer value

You must have:

• Experience designing and shipping successful B2B software products
• First-principles product thinking required for new AI interaction patterns - can't just build what has come before
• An AI-forward mindset and excitement about applying emerging technology to solve real problems
• Exceptional ability to translate customer problems into product solutions
• Maniacal focus on designing frictionless product experiences that deliver business outcomes
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Ownership mentality and ability to thrive in an early-stage startup environment

Nice to have:

• Experience in logistics, freight, or B2B industries
• Background working with AI/ML products or teams
• Previous experience as an early product hire at a successful startup
• Design experience or strong design sensibilities
• Technical background or ability to deeply understand technical constraints

Why you’ll love working here:

• The rare opportunity to join a formidable team to build an enduring company as an early employee
• Work on the cutting edge of AI implementation in a massive industry ripe for transformation
• Competitive compensation with significant equity upside
• Comprehensive medical/dental/vision benefits
• Opportunity to shape the partnership strategy for a fast-growing startup
• Direct impact on company success and growth trajectory

This role is based in person in San Francisco, CA (not remote).
