Senior Product Manager
Senior Product Manager
Remote – North or South America | Full-Time | Canals AI
About Canals
Canals is a bootstrapped, profitable startup transforming wholesale distribution (a trillion-dollar industry) with AI. Our platform integrates seamlessly with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe. We’re a 40-person, fully remote team (30 in engineering) across North and South America, operating at millions in ARR and growing rapidly without outside funding.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to join Canals as the first full-time product hire. You’ll work directly with our CEO, who has owned all product work to date.
This is not a role for feature jockeys. We need someone obsessed with UX clarity — someone who thinks deeply about user behavior, flow, and comprehension. Your job is to make sure there is no ambiguity in how the product is used. Every button, every screen, every flow should be unbreakable and self-evident — even to users who aren't tech-savvy.
You should be the kind of PM who gets joy from anticipating user confusion and eliminating it. Who sees a subtle UX flaw and can’t rest until it’s fixed. Who builds clean, elegant product experiences that guide users to success without needing training or guesswork.
What You’ll Do
Work directly with the CEO to define, refine, and own product direction
Develop intuitive product flows that reduce cognitive load and eliminate user error
Collaborate closely with design and engineering to ensure UX is seamless and intentional
Prioritize simplicity and clarity in every decision — from language to layout
Deeply understand user behavior and spot points of friction before they cause problems
Turn high-level goals into clearly defined, well-scoped product specs and flows
Fight for great UX and customer empathy at every stage of development
Own the product roadmap and ensure consistent progress on core product quality
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of product management experience, preferably in SaaS or enterprise software
Track record of shipping clean, simple, high-clarity user experiences
Deep intuition for UX and user behavior — you anticipate where users get confused
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Able to work independently with high ownership and initiative
Experience working with early-stage teams or fast-paced startups is a plus
Bonus: background in design or front-end is highly valuable
Why Join Canals
Bootstrapped and profitable: no investors, no pivots — just real momentum
Product-led growth: your work directly drives adoption and retention
Big opportunity: shape the foundation of a product used across global supply chains
High-trust, remote-first team with autonomy and low bureaucracy
Work with passionate engineers and founders who care deeply about what they’re building
