Technical Program Manager

Portcast is a venture-backed, Singapore-based logistics technology startup helping freight forwarders turn data into better decisions and measurable business impact.

Portcast uses AI to surface shipment exceptions, cost risks, and the right actions, helping teams focus on the shipments that need their attention, keep freight costs under control, and make procurement decisions with confidence.

Our vision is to be the AI data and intelligence layer that powers exception management and margin improvement on every shipment. Founded in 2018 and backed by leading technology investors, we are a lean, globally distributed team building technology for an industry going through a major digital transformation.

ABOUT THE ROLE You'll be the person accountable for the delivery state of our product initiatives once they move into execution.

You'll report directly to our Senior Product Manager and make sure ownership is clear across Engineering, Data, and Solutions, work is progressing as expected, dependencies are being managed, and risks are surfaced early rather than when they become launch problems.

We're looking for someone who understands our product, technology, and data well enough to follow the work, understand why we're building something, spot when execution is drifting from the intended outcome, and know when to bring an issue back to Product for clarification.

This is a hands-on IC role and you'll be the first person in this role at Portcast , giving you the opportunity to shape how we manage and deliver product initiatives as we scale. This role requires daily working-hour overlap with our Asia-based Tech Team.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE No launch delays, cleaner releases, and shorter cycle times, driven by earlier identification of risks, dependencies, and blockers, better coordination across Product, Engineering, Data, and Solutions, and clearer visibility into what is moving, what is blocked, and what needs attention.
