About the role

The Product Manager is responsible for building, managing, and improving transport service products that enable customers to send parcels through domestic and international distribution networks. The role defines product propositions across B2C, B2B, clearance options, delivery speeds, lanes, destinations, markets, service features, operational rules, customer requirements, and technology enablement, documenting and managing all of this information in product specifications.
