About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and Lead Vehicle Logistics Product Strategy
Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for vehicle logistics tracking and ETA computation across the direct-to-consumer order-to-delivery lifecycle.
Partner closely with adjacent teams responsible for order management, customer communications, and delivery execution.
Define how internal operational tools, an external logistics system, and frontend experiences work together to provide end-to-end vehicle visibility.
Translate business goals (delivery promise accuracy, customer transparency, operational efficiency, cost control) into clear product outcomes and prioritized initiatives.
Partner closely with Logistics Management and Operations to shape scalable and executable plans.
Own Logistics Systems & Third Party Integrations
Lead integrations with third-party logistics providers (carriers, yards, ports, rail, last mile partners) to ingest real-time vehicle status and movement data.
Define product requirements for vehicle event tracking, location updates, handoffs, exceptions, and milestone completion.
Serve as the primary product counterpart for external logistics partners, aligning APIs, data contracts, SLAs, and implementation timelines.
Ensure integrations support near real-time updates and accurate downstream ETA calculations.
ETAs and Visibility
Own the systems responsible for calculating, updating, and exposing vehicle ETAs throughout the customer journey.
Ensure ETA logic accounts for production, transportation mode changes, dwell time, congestion, and operational exceptions.
Partner with UX Design and Customer Experience teams to make vehicle tracking and delivery timelines clear, trustworthy, and actionable for customers.
Balance transparency with uncertainty, ensuring customers receive timely updates without over-promising.
Internal Tooling & Operational Enablement
Define internal tools and workflows that enable logistics, sales, delivery, and customer support teams to view real-time vehicle status and location.
Understand ETA confidence and risk.
Manage exceptions, delays, and reroutes.
Communicate proactively with customers.
Deeply understand frontline operational pain points and design tooling that reduces manual work while improving accuracy and speed.
Ensure systems support auditability, traceability, and operational decision-making at scale.
Cross-Functional Leadership
Collaborate closely with engineering, logistics operations, supply chain, analytics, customer experience, and leadership teams.
Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, clearly communicating tradeoffs, dependencies, risks, and business impact.
Align internal teams and external partners around shared delivery and visibility outcomes.
