Raft is the intelligent logistics platform that’s rewriting the technology playbook for freight forwarders and customs brokers in the automation era. A dynamic UK-based technology company that’s fundamentally reshaping international logistics, we’re searching for a Product Manager – Machine Learning (ML) who is excited by the prospect of working in a rapidly growing scale-up. We have significant runway thanks to funding from leading US investor Bessemer Venture Partners (LinkedIn, Twilio, Shopify), alongside Episode 1 (Zoopla, Betfair, Shazam) and supply chain-focused fund Dynamo Ventures (Sennder, Stord).
Role Overview:
As a Product Manager in our ML Team, you will pioneer our client-centric machine learning strategy by collaborating with diverse teams (product managers, software engineers, ML specialists, designers and business stakeholders) and lead the development and realisation of our ML platform. As such, you will be accountable for commercial and technical outcomes for this platform.
You will also keep the team abreast of the state of the art in machine learning to fuel our innovation pipeline and drive the use of ML across the product. Ultimately, your mission will be to foster product innovation in the ML sphere, crafting a transformative experience for our clients.
What you will do:
- Define the product strategy and roadmap for our machine learning products, aligning with the company’s overall vision and objectives. Manage the product development lifecycle, including gathering requirements, setting priorities, coordinating sprints, and ensuring timely delivery of product milestones. We pride ourselves on shipping fast and you will too!
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality and user-friendly machine learning products / solutions. This will often involve finding the right balance between strategic, long term initiatives and shorter term tactical needs.
- Socialise strategic plans, roadmaps, and ongoing progress to stakeholders. This will often be in the form of data / metrics and qualitative reports. You will need to tell the “story of ML” in order to bring it to life for the rest of the organization.
- Set, collect and report on relevant metrics inline with strategic initiatives.
- Stay up-to-date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and the competitive landscape related to workflow automation. Use this to foster and maintain a culture of innovation and creativity across the ML teams.
