Lead Product Manager

As Team Lead Product Manager for Financials, you will lead the product team responsible for the systems that turn commercial commitments, costs, revenue, and margin into reliable financial execution and business control. You will own the Financials product domain - one of Forto's most critical areas - ensuring accurate revenue capture, cost control, margin protection, and trusted financial visibility. This sits at the intersection of logistics and finance, where complex operational challenges, partner costs, customer agreements, and fragmented processes must be transformed into scalable product solutions.

What you'll do

• Lead the PM team responsible for Forto's financial execution flow: Financials, procured services, committed capacity, cost structures, and margin control.
• Own the Financials product strategy across revenue, cost, invoicing, VAT, FX, reporting, financial controls, profit visibility, and customer-facing financial flows.
• Turn critical financial, commercial, operational, and data problems into clear product direction.
• Help Forto protect margin, reduce leakage, improve cost-to-serve, and build trusted financial visibility.
• Build strong narratives that align Finance, Tax, Operations, Engineering, Product, Data, Commercial, and Leadership around difficult decisions.
• Coach two PMs, raise product quality, and help them grow in ownership, judgement, communication, and strategic thinking.
• Explore where AI-enabled solutions can improve automation, exception handling, decision support, process quality, or operational efficiency.

What you'll need

• 8+ years of Product Management experience in a complex B2B, platform, logistics, supply chain, financial systems, marketplace, or enterprise product environment.
• Experience coaching, mentoring, or managing Product Managers, ideally for at least 2 years.
• Strong systems thinking: you can connect product, process, data, operations, commercial logic, and financial outcomes.
• Strong product judgement in ambiguous environments: you do not wait for a perfect map before moving forward.
• Proven ability to influence through clear narrative: you can align senior stakeholders, explain trade-offs, and help groups with competing priorities commit to a direction.
• Comfort working in financially sensitive, operationally critical, regulated, or audit-relevant environments.
• Practical AI literacy, including experience using, shaping, or evaluating AI-enabled products, automation, or decision-support capabilities.

Nice to have

• Experience in logistics, freight forwarding, supply chain, procurement, cost control, or operational platforms.
• Experience in financial systems, billing, accounting-adjacent products, pricing, tax, reporting, or financial control.
• Experience leading product work in domains with high regulatory, audit, data-quality, or operational reliability requirements.
• Experience applying AI or LLM-based capabilities to operational workflows, exception handling, automation, or decision support.
