The container shipping industry is the backbone of global trade, with 90% of all goods being transported by a container. The industry is, however, fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels are delayed coming into port, and fundamental planning processes are done manually in basic tools and spreadsheets.
Portchain (portchain.com), a Danish SaaS startup founded in 2017, builds AI-powered applications to solve the hardest planning problems in shipping. Backed by prominent investors and $5M in funding, its products are used by several global top-5 container terminals and carrier operators.
The role
Portchain is looking for a Senior Product Manager to help us reshape the world of maritime container shipping. We consider ‘Inspired’ by Marty Cagan a guideline for what good product management is (but not the only) - if you agree, you will be an essential part of establishing the product-driven culture.
The challenges the container industry faces are enormous and have a worldwide impact, so if you are looking to solve the most significant problems, we have them lined up and ready to be worked on!
As a member of Product, you will, together with your team, take ownership of one of our core areas and make sure that the value offering continues to meet the needs of our users.
Having a strong sense of discovery and turning that into knowledge and insights that can help form our path is pivotal to our success. You will not be doing that alone, as you will be joining a fully cross-functional team to make sure you can act autonomously throughout all the steps.
The company is keenly focused on talking about Why and not What when it comes to framing what we want to solve, so you will also play a key role in ensuring we have an outcome-focused approach to our goals.
