About The Position

Portside Leaseworks is a Salesforce-based mission-critical enterprise software platform for aircraft lessors, used to manage aircraft and engine leasing contracts, generate complex invoices, and support highly regulated financial workflows. We are looking for a Product Manager who can run the show for this product. This is not a roadmap-only or UX-focused PM role. You will own the product end-to-end: deeply understanding how it works today, working directly with customers, translating real-world leasing and billing requirements into precise engineering tasks, and partnering closely with engineering to ship reliable, scalable functionality on the Salesforce platform.

Requirements

7+ years of experience in product management, business analysis, or solution architecture for enterprise software
Strong hands-on experience with the Salesforce platform, including:
Objects and data modeling
Flows and automation
Security model (profiles, permission sets, sharing)
Managed packages / enterprise deployments
Experience building or managing financial, billing, or contract-driven systems
Experience working directly with enterprise customers
Comfort with financial concepts such as invoicing, proration, schedules, and multi-currency
Strong systems thinking and attention to detail
Ability to reason about complex workflows and data dependencies
Ability to work independently and take full ownership of a product area
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Credibility with engineers and comfort pushing back when requirements conflict with platform or data integrity

Nice To Haves

Experience in aircraft leasing, equipment leasing, or asset finance
Salesforce certifications (Admin, Platform App Builder, or similar)
Background as a Salesforce consultant or solution architect
