About The Position

DAT is an award-winning employer of choice and a next-generation SaaS technology company that has been at the leading edge of innovation in transportation supply chain logistics for 45 years. We continue to transform the industry year over year, by deploying a suite of software solutions to millions of customers every day - customers who depend on DAT for the most relevant data and most accurate insights to help them make smarter business decisions and run their companies more profitably. We operate the largest marketplace of its kind in North America, with 400 million freights posted in 2022, and a database of $150 billion of annual global shipment market transaction data. Our headquarters are in Denver, CO, with additional offices in Missouri, Oregon, and Bangalore, India. For additional information, see www.DAT.com/company . The Opportunity We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the strategy, roadmap, and delivery for how third-party systems connect to DAT's ecosystem in our Seattle Office. You'll set the direction for TMS partner integrations (postings, rates, tracking, carrier onboarding/monitoring), shape DAT's public and partner-facing API strategy, and be the product owner accountable for turning "integrate once, use all of DAT" from a stated vision into a working reality. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role. You'll work closely with engineering leads on integration architecture, with TMS partners, and with product teams whose roadmaps depend on integration reliability, and with sales/partnership success on what brokers are actually asking for.

Requirements

8+ years of product management experience, including demonstrated ownership of integration, platform, or API products — ideally in freight, logistics, or another data/transaction-heavy B2B domain.
Technical fluency with integration patterns: REST APIs, webhooks, and the practical tradeoffs between polling and event-driven architectures. You need to credibly review a design doc and ask the right questions.
Partner-facing experience — comfort running roadmap and requirements conversations directly with external vendors/partners.
Comfort with ambiguity and legacy complexity — this space has technical debt and you will be building the plan to modernize it.
Strong cross-functional communication — you'll need to translate between engineering, partner/BD conversations, and executive strategy conversations on integration needs.

Responsibilities

Define and prioritize the roadmap for broker-side TMS connectivity.
Drive migration off legacy SOAP/FTP protocols and manage the tradeoffs and unique requirements for major TMS partner integrations.
Own the roadmap for DAT's public and partner APIs, including usage governance, tiering, and monitoring.
Establish the metering, attribution, and access-control mechanisms on DAT's API surface, and make deliberate calls on what's open, what's gated, and what's monetized.
Serve as DAT's product-side counterpart to TMS vendors and integration partners.
Run partner conversations on integration requirements, and manage the realities of a fragmented, unevenly-modernized partner landscape.
Act as the connective layer between domain product teams whose features depend on integration infrastructure, and the platform/integrations engineering org building it.
Resolve prioritization conflicts and keep dependent roadmaps synchronized.
Build the business case for integration investment: define what "done" looks like for reliability and time-to-integrate, help settle DAT's revenue/value model for integrations.
