Job Summary, Objectives
The SAPTM Product Manager is Radiant's internal product owner for the SAP Transportation Management platform. This role sits at the intersection of freight-forwarding operations, IT delivery, and data strategy — translating complex logistics workflows into actionable platform requirements, leading station onboarding onto SAP TM, and embedding AI and analytics capabilities into the platform to improve operator efficiency and margin.

Key Job Responsibilities
Own the SAP TM product roadmap — prioritize enhancements, integrations, and new module rollouts against business value, station onboarding commitments, and technical feasibility.
Serve as primary business process owner for core TM domains: Forwarding Order (FO/FWO), Freight Unit (FU), Freight Order/Booking (FRO/FB), Event Management (EM), and settlement/billing.
Partner with SAP Basis and AMS teams to translate business requirements into functional specifications; review and formally accept delivered enhancements in UAT.
Maintain a groomed product backlog in Jira/Confluence; run sprint reviews and release planning with development and AMS teams.
Engage station managers and operations leads to capture workflow requirements — quoting, cost-plus pricing, AWB handling — and translate them into platform capabilities or configuration changes.
Own the quoting and rate management capability roadmap within TM to support network-wide adoption.
Collaborate with the data platform team on TM data pipelines to surface operational KPIs, revenue analytics, and exception dashboards for management.
Define product requirements for AI-assisted features: intelligent routing recommendations, exception flagging, anomaly detection, and operator UX enhancements within TM.
Work with the AI initiatives team to embed LLM-powered capabilities into TM workflows, with appropriate attention to data governance, audit trails, and operator trust.
Ensure TM configuration and workflows support regulatory and compliance requirements, including ITAR/EAR classification controls, customs valuation integrity, and audit log quality.
Partner with Legal and Compliance on export-controlled and government-vertical freight workflows; maintain accurate item description, classification, and customs data standards.
Support SAP license management: track TM user counts, named user types, and module entitlements in coordination with Finance.
Manage day-to-day relationships with TM AMS providers; evaluate SOW deliverables, escalate performance issues, and contribute to vendor selection decisions.
