Lead Product Manager

At Kpler, we are dedicated to helping our clients navigate complex markets with ease. By simplifying global trade information and providing valuable insights, we empower organisations to make informed decisions in commodities, energy, and maritime sectors.

Since our founding in 2014, we have focused on delivering top-tier intelligence through user-friendly platforms. Our team of over 700 experts from 35+ countries works tirelessly to transform intricate data into actionable strategies, ensuring our clients stay ahead in a dynamic market landscape.

Join us to leverage cutting-edge innovation for impactful results and experience unparalleled support on your journey to success. This role holds the middle of Maritime & Logistics together.

It line-manages the product people across two platform crews, AIS Network and Risk & Compliance and the Senior Product Managers running five sector lines: Automotive, Container Intelligence, Insurance, Fisheries and Cruise Liners.

On top of that, it carries individual-contributor ownership of two further crews: Maritime Distribution and Maritime Models (Analytics). Both halves are the job, and they are deliberately held by one person.

The platform crews produce the vessel, position and risk data the sector lines sell; the sector lines generate the demand the platform has to meet. Holding both sides is how Kpler keeps the verticals honest about what the data can actually support, and keeps the platform honest about what the verticals need next.

It suits someone who can manage product managers and still ship: set direction across seven product areas, make the trade-offs between them explicit, and keep two crews of their own on a predictable cadence.
