[Hiring] Product Manager – Business Operations @Routeware, Inc.

Role Description

Routeware’s Business Operations product line manages the all-in-one connected front and back office for private haulers. Our customer is a municipal program manager; our user is a resident who just wants to know if Tuesday is a holiday and whether pizza boxes go in recycling.

We’re hiring a Product Manager to help drive day-to-day execution on this product line. You’ll partner closely with the VP of Product, taking on roadmap delivery, story writing, sprint execution, and validation work. Over time, as we unify teams and integrate further with the rest of the Routeware platform, your scope and ownership will grow. You’ll also work with a distributed engineering team that includes offshore developers, which means written clarity, detailed acceptance criteria, and async-friendly working habits matter.

This is a meaningful seat for a PM with a few years under their belt who wants to ship product in a B2B SaaS environment with a real societal impact. It’s also a great place to apply AI to a real-world problem, both exploring opportunities and helping ship production features that drive adoption.

Responsibilities

• Roadmap Execution & Delivery: Partner closely with the VP of Product to execute the product line roadmap. Own daily execution: discovery, story writing, sprint planning, acceptance criteria, and validation. Ship clean, on time, and with quality.
• Cross-Product Collaboration: Contribute to integration work between Business Operations and the broader Routeware platform. Partner with PMs on adjacent product lines as we work toward a more unified portfolio.
• Distributed Delivery & Engineering Partnership: Work effectively with a distributed engineering team that includes offshore developers. Write specs that don’t require a hallway conversation to interpret. Run sprint ceremonies in an async-friendly way.
• AI Feature Delivery: Help identify, scope, and ship AI-powered capabilities in the resident journey — smarter search, conversational sorting guidance, personalized education, contamination reduction.
• Launch & Adoption: Partner with Marketing, CS, and Support on go-to-market — release readiness, internal enablement, customer comms, and adoption tracking after launch.
• Voice of Customer & Measurement: Stay close to Support and Customer Success — triage escalations, feed real-world signal back into the roadmap, and track KPIs for your scope (adoption, engagement, education effectiveness).

Qualifications

• Background shipping B2B products. You understand engagement, retention, and how to design for a non-expert end user.
• 2–3+ years in Product Management or Product Ownership in SaaS, with progressive scope and ownership.
• Strong agile fluency: backlog management, story writing, sprint planning, prioritization frameworks.
• Experience working with distributed or offshore engineering teams — or strong evidence of the written clarity and async habits that make it work.
• Strong analytical instincts — comfortable with product analytics, experimentation, and metrics-driven prioritization.
• Familiarity with AI / LLM-powered product capabilities and the judgment to know where they add real value vs. where they’re overkill.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management; able to translate between customers, internal teams, and executives.
• Hands-on fluency with Jira, Confluence, and a product analytics tool (Pendo, Amplitude, Mixpanel, similar).

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits (medical with HSA option, vision, dental, and life insurance)
• Paid parental leave
• Medical and Dependent FSA
• 401K match
• Unlimited PTO
• Ten company holidays
• 1 Volunteer day
• Summer Fridays
