What You’ll Be Working On

This Product Manager will learn the ropes through playing a product ownership role on one of our more simple, yet powerful solutions - The Online Selling Platform. This product allows fuel wholesalers to sell thousands of gallons of fuel to their customers with a click of a button. 

Once independence is fostered - attention will shift to the strategic direction and success of OSP and another product - The Pricing Engine. This solution allows fuel wholesalers to publish hundreds of prices through automated formulas, but also is analytic and AI driven to drive strategy and predict decision outcomes.

Our products are revolutionizing the industry - and there are some electric things happening in our product teams. This product manager will keep that momentum going, but also assist the Head Of Product on maturing our product decisions, strategies, and vision to support long term growth.
