Senior Product Manager
Cardata
Ready to accelerate your career?
Cardata is where driven people make an outsized impact. We’re a small but mighty team transforming how businesses manage vehicle reimbursement — replacing outdated programs with smart, automated solutions.
Our vision is bold: to provide the most comprehensive, intelligent, and automated software and services for creating ideal vehicle programs. And we’re building toward that vision every single day.
Join us and you’ll find challenge, growth, and the chance to deliver real impact — helping hundreds of companies and thousands of drivers across North America focus on the work that matters most to them.
As a Senior Product Manager, you will play a critical role in shaping, building, and scaling our B2B SaaS platform. This role blends hands-on product execution with strategic product leadership. You’ll spend meaningful time acting as a product owner: writing stories, curating backlogs, and running refinements while also owning customer discovery, competitive intelligence, and product strategy for your product area.
You’ll manage one direct report (a hybrid Product Owner / Support & Triage role) and help shape the future of our Product organization, including mentoring and managing future Product Managers or Product Owners as we grow. This role reports directly to the CPTO and works closely with Engineering, Design, Customer Success, Sales, Support, Marketing, and Executive Leadership.
We’re looking for a product leader who wants real influence over strategy, vs. feature execution. You’ll work closely with our executive team, our customers, and cross-functional teams to shape what we build and how the Product function evolves. We believe great products come from clear thinking, teamwork that feels good, and an unwavering focus on our customers.

Leadership & People Management

- Help establish scalable product practices and processes as the team grows.
- Mentor junior Product Managers or Product Owners as they join the team.
- Foster strong cross-functional collaboration and communication.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Customer Success, Support, Sales, and Marketing.
