As a Senior Product Manager, Growth & Experience, you will drive growth by owning key surfaces spanning onboarding, activation, engagement, and monetization. You'll lead experimentation, shape roadmaps, and work cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Data, Marketing, and Operations to deliver high-impact product experiences. This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution, grounded in direct customer insight from the owner-operators and small fleets we serve, and accelerated by a data-driven, AI-forward approach to product development.

- Develop and execute a roadmap of growth initiatives, balancing new bets with improvements to existing customer journeys.
- Partner closely with Engineering and Design to deliver intuitive, high-trust product experiences.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Data, Marketing, Operations, and Customer Support to deliver cohesive end-to-end growth initiatives.
- Engage directly with truckers and fleet operators to understand workflows, constraints, and motivations that influence product adoption.
- Define, track, and communicate key growth metrics, using data and experimentation results to guide product decisions.
- Leverage AI tools and technologies to accelerate product discovery, experimentation, and development, and identify opportunities to incorporate AI into Mudflap’s product experience.
Experience (What we look for):
- 5+ years of product management experience with meaningful ownership of customer-facing products (mobile or web).
- Demonstrated success driving product-led growth through experimentation, iteration, and measurable improvements in key metrics.
- Strong understanding of onboarding flows, activation mechanics, and engagement loops.
- Comfortable working with data, including funnel analysis, cohort retention, and experimentation results.
- Experience partnering closely with engineering, design, data, and marketing to ship high-quality product experiences.
- Excellent prioritization, communication, and execution skills in fast-moving environments.
- Track record of translating customer insights and data into impactful product improvements.
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to accelerate product development, analysis, or experimentation, and curiosity about applying AI to create better product experiences.
- Bonus: experience building for SMBs, marketplaces, fintech, logistics, or independent operators.
