About the Job

Requirements

At least 5 years of product management experience owning a complex, data-heavy domain.
Ability to map an ambiguous process to its data sources, failure points, and opportunities for leverage.
Ability to investigate independently with SQL or AI tools and verify claims against actual outcomes.
Ability to deliver workable solutions in the current quarter while building toward an appropriate end state, and to document decisions clearly.
Experience building products for billing, accounts payable, carrier audit, payments, or financial infrastructure, ideally in logistics, freight, or fulfillment.
Fluency in rate cards, accruals, pass-through versus revenue, invoice matching, and how operational data reaches the general ledger.
Experience working closely with accountants and finance operations, and judgment about when to involve the CFO; this is not an accounting role.
Forward-deployed working style, close to finance, China operations, and merchants, including evening calls and potential travel to China.
Ability to work from one canonical roadmap alongside the rest of product.
Ability to partner across finance, engineering, operations, customer service, compliance, and merchants.
Ability to identify systemic solutions to problems.

Responsibilities

Own the product direction and end-to-end development of finance infrastructure, from rate card through invoicing to cash, and from carrier bill through audited cost.
Own billing capabilities including rate cards, pricing rules, invoicing, disputes, and collections, and roll out the billing engine across the merchant base.
Build cost-audit capabilities to ingest carrier and partner invoices, match them to shipments, and automatically identify discrepancies.
Provide finance and leadership with shipment-level visibility into revenue, cost, and pass-through charges.
Develop how duties, taxes, tariffs, VAT, and other pass-through charges are calculated, billed, and collected in partnership with the compliance team.
Improve how merchants see, understand, and ask questions about their charges.
Translate finance needs into a clear roadmap in collaboration with finance, operations, and engineering.
Develop an end-to-end understanding of current money flows and identify where they need to go.
Create a finance product strategy and sequenced roadmap aligned with finance, operations, and engineering.
Set and defend priorities in writing, including the reasoning and tradeoffs behind them.
Enable most merchants to be billed automatically and on time.
Automate matching and auditing of invoices from the largest carriers.
Enable finance to see margin by shipment, merchant, and lane.
Deliver measurable time savings to finance and customer service teams.

Desired Qualifications

Exposure to duties, tariffs, or VAT.

Senior Product Manager, Finance

Portless · Canada (Remote) · — · Posted 2026-09-08

Workplace: remote

Description

The short version

Every order Portless ships moves money in two directions. We bill merchants for shipping, fulfillment, storage, duties and taxes, and we pay carriers, warehouses and partners across several countries and currencies. Our P&L sits in the middle.

We've grown fast, and we're investing in the systems behind that money flow to match. We're hiring a Senior Product Manager to own it end to end: from rate card to invoice to cash, and from carrier bill to audited cost.

About Portless

Portless is changing the face of global e-commerce. By decoupling brands from traditional, expensive domestic warehousing, we let e-commerce companies ship directly from manufacturing hubs to global consumers in as little as three to five days.

We move packages to 75+ countries for hundreds of DTC brands, with millions of packages shipped annually, 99.8% pick-and-pack accuracy, and 98% on-time delivery. We're a small, remote-first team growing fast, and the work you do here shows up in a merchant's business, and on our own books, within weeks.

What you'll own

We're building out our finance infrastructure for the next stage of growth. You'll set the product direction for:

Billing (order to cash). Rate cards, pricing rules, invoicing, disputes and collections. You'll own our billing engine from the product side, including rolling it out across our merchant base.

Cost audit (procure to pay). Ingesting carrier and partner invoices, matching them to what we shipped, and catching discrepancies automatically.

Margin visibility. A shipment-level view of revenue, cost and pass-through charges that finance and leadership can rely on.

Duties and taxes. How tariffs, VAT and other pass-through charges are calculated, billed and collected, in close partnership with our compliance team.

The merchant experience. How merchants see, understand and ask questions about their charges.

You'll be the bridge between finance, operations and engineering, turning finance needs into a clear roadmap.

What success looks like

First 90 days

An end-to-end view of how money moves through Portless today, and a clear picture of where it needs to go
A finance product strategy and sequenced roadmap, aligned with finance, operations and engineering
Priorities set and defended in writing, with the reasoning and tradeoffs behind them

First 6 months

What we're looking for

Product craft first. This is the bar we're least flexible on.

5+ years in product management owning a complex, data-heavy domain
You can map a messy process to where data originates, where it breaks, and where the leverage is
You get your own answers with SQL or AI tools, and check claims against what actually happened
You ship what works this quarter while building toward the right end state, and you write it up clearly

Finance and logistics experience.

You've built product for billing, AP, carrier audit, payments or financial infrastructure, ideally in logistics, freight or fulfillment
You're fluent in rate cards, accruals, pass-through vs. revenue, invoice matching, and how operational data reaches the GL
You work closely with accountants and finance ops and know when to bring in the CFO. This isn't an accounting role
Exposure to duties, tariffs or VAT is a strong plus

How you work.

Forward-deployed: close to finance, our China operations and merchants, with evening calls and potential travel to China
You work off one canonical roadmap alongside the rest of product
You partner across finance, engineering, operations, CS, compliance and merchants
You look for the systemic version of the problem
