Airspace has the support of leading investors such as Telstra Ventures, HarbourVest Partners, Defy Partners, DBL Partners, and Scale Ventures. To date the company has raised more than $140m. 

The company is growing rapidly and serving more places around the world than ever before. We are looking for passionate, motivated individuals who want to make an IMPACT every day to help us execute on our mission of reshaping the world of time-critical logistics. 

Airspace is redefining time-critical logistics in the healthcare industry. From ensuring life-saving medical devices reach patients on time, to supporting pharmacy and lab networks with precise, reliable deliveries, we help the world’s most essential healthcare providers operate at peak performance. When failure isn’t an option, they turn to us.

We’re looking for a Product Manager to lead our Healthcare Platform, the foundation for how medical device manufacturers, health systems, labs, and pharmacies interact with Airspace. You’ll define and deliver platform features that enable reliability, visibility, and scale across some of the most operationally complex and time-critical logistics workflows in the world.

• Own the roadmap and metrics for the core platform serving all Healthcare verticals including Medical Device, Health Systems & Labs, and Pharmaceuticals. Own platform adoption and retention metrics, with accountability for the product backlog and delivery prioritization.
• Deliver platform-level improvements that support vertical specific workflows while enabling custom configurations and growth into neighboring verticals.
• Identify opportunities to improve optimization, customer, and driver experiences.

• Leverage logistics and supply chain expertise to understand routing logic, scheduling constraints, and operational workflows. Deeply understand the nuances of each vertical including regulatory needs and customer to end-customer relationships. Healthcare domain knowledge is a plus but not required, we\'ll help you build that expertise.
• Lead improvements in shipment visibility, proactive exception handling, and platform performance.

• Collaborate with engineering, design, AI, and data science to deliver intelligent, scalable solutions. Excel at setting up problems and defining requirements rather than solving them, our strong engineering and AI teams need clear problem definition and strategic direction from you.
• Partner with sales representatives, account managers, and operations leads to ensure platform changes drive measurable customer outcomes.
• Align platform enhancements with broader business goals.

• Design systems and components that can be extended across new healthcare segments as new opportunities arise.
• Lay the foundation for future integrations with hospital systems, labs, and third-party tools.

Requirements:

• 3-5+ years of product management experience, preferably in logistics, supply chain, or operations-heavy software.
• Deep customer empathy and curiosity that is paired with skills to uncover real problems.
• Ownership Mindset: Proven experience in defining product goals and inspiring teams to deliver impactful user experiences.
• Demonstrated experience leading product initiatives across diverse functional groups.
• Outstanding communication skills.
• Technical understanding sufficient to collaborate with engineering, data science, and AI teams, you\'ll frame problems and requirements, not implement solutions directly.
• Bachelor\'s degree in Computer Science, Business Management or related fields required. MBA is a plus.
