Head of Product (Director/VP)

About Cargoz

Cargoz is the UAE's on-demand warehousing and storage marketplace — the Airbnb for warehouses. We connect businesses that need flexible storage, fulfillment and logistics with a vetted network of warehouse and storage providers across Dubai and the wider region, and we digitize the entire journey: discovery, instant quoting, booking, onboarding, and ongoing management. We are turning a traditionally offline, paperwork-heavy industry into a fast, transparent, guided digital experience, and we are doing it AI-first.

The Role

We are looking for a product leader to own product end-to-end at Cargoz: the vision, the roadmap, the platform architecture, and the outcomes. You will be responsible for a commercially successful B2B digital experience that both sides of our marketplace, the businesses booking space and the warehouse providers supplying it - genuinely love to use. You bring real functional knowledge of warehousing, storage and logistics, you are unusually sound on core backend and platform design, and you operate AI-native: you use modern AI to ship more, with fewer resources, at higher quality and better customer outcomes. This is a hands-on leadership role with a direct line to the business, you will chart the roadmap, defend quality and timelines, and be measured on adoption and revenue.

What you'll own:

• The company-wide product roadmap, balancing quality, timeline, and adoption, and communicating trade-offs to leadership
• Platform architecture: multi-tenancy, data isolation, permissioning, observability, and public-quality APIs/SDKs for partners and enterprise clients
• AI-native product development: instant pricing and quoting, space matching, agentic booking and operations workflows
• Domain-driven decisions grounded in how warehouses, 3PLs, storage contracts and logistics flows actually work
• Commercial outcomes tracking acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue KPIs, running beta programs, and driving adoption on both sides of the marketplace
• Cross-functional leadership across engineering, design, operations, and sales, aligned to business strategy

What we're looking for:

• 6+ years in product management, including leading a product function or team
• A track record of shipping complex, data-intensive B2B products that moved real business metrics
• Real backend and platform depth — CS/engineering background or equivalent hands-on technical experience
• Functional knowledge of warehousing, storage, logistics, or supply chain software (WMS, TMS, ERP, OMS, 3PL, or fulfillment)
• AI-native execution: you use modern AI tools to accelerate velocity and quality, with a clear point of view on where AI belongs in the product
• Strong analytical skills (SQL, metrics, A/B testing) and executive-level communication

What success looks like (first 12-18 months)

• A credible, sequenced product roadmap adopted across the company, with clear ownership of quality, timeline, and adoption targets.
• A measurably better guided booking experience, higher activation and conversion, lower time-to-book, and rising repeat usage on both sides of the marketplace.
• Two to three AI-powered capabilities shipped into the product with quantified impact on customer outcomes and cost-to-serve.
• A platform architecture and API surface that lets new providers, partners, and enterprise clients onboard and integrate faster than before.
• A leaner product-and-engineering operating model where AI tooling has visibly increased velocity and quality per head.

How we work

This role is not product-management-as-project-management. We move at startup velocity, we are data-obsessed, and we expect our product leader to use AI to help the whole team work better, faster, and smarter, from discovery through delivery. If you want to turn a large, offline, regional industry into a category-defining digital platform, and you have the backend depth and domain knowledge to do it responsibly, we should talk.
