Company Overview:
UP.Labs is launching a stealth startup in the logistics and freight space, building an AI-powered platform focused on billing, revenue integrity, and cash-flow automation for enterprise logistics operators.
Freight billing today is fundamentally broken - driven by complex contracts, fragmented data, disconnected systems, and manual, error-prone workflows. The result is disputes, revenue leakage, delayed payments, and significant operational overhead. This company exists to fix that by unifying data into a single source of truth, validating invoices automatically, and resolving discrepancies in real time, turning revenue chaos into predictable, optimized outcomes.
This is a rare opportunity to own product from day one and help define a new category at the intersection of logistics, finance operations, and applied AI.
The Role:
We are hiring a Head of Product to serve as the founding product leader for this stealth venture. You will own product vision, strategy, and execution from 0 1, working closely with engineering, data science, early customers, and the broader UP.Labs ecosystem. This role is ideal for a hands-on product leader who thrives in complex enterprise environments and wants to build a category-defining platform from the ground up.

Define the initial product wedge (billing accuracy, exception management, cash-flow acceleration) and guide expansion into a broader revenue intelligence platform.
Customer Discovery
-
Work directly with early enterprise logistics customers to deeply understand billing workflows, disputes, and exceptions.

Design products that integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise systems (e.g., TMS, ERP, billing, and operational data sources).
-
Drive adoption across multiple stakeholders, including finance, operations, and executive leadership.
-
Navigate complex enterprise buying, onboarding, and rollout environments.
Leadership & Team Building
-
Act as a founder-level leader, aligning executives, investors, and customers around product strategy.

Start as a hands-on builder (user research, workflows, PRDs), then recruit and grow a high-performing product organization.
-
Serve as the internal and external voice of product as the company scales.
