Product Manager, Aircraft Leasing & Finance
Portside
About Portside, Inc.
Portside is a leading provider of modern software solutions for the global aviation industry. As a fast-growing SaaS company, we operate across three key verticals: business aviation, regional commercial aviation, and aircraft leasing & finance. With nearly 300 team members spread across five continents, we support over 1,000 enterprise customers, helping them streamline and manage all aspects of their day-to-day operations.
Job Summary
Portside Leaseworks is a Salesforce-based mission-critical enterprise software platform for aircraft lessors, used to manage aircraft and engine leasing contracts, generate complex invoices, and support highly regulated financial workflows.
We are looking for a Product Manager who can run the show for this product. This is not a roadmap-only or UX-focused PM role. You will own the product end-to-end: deeply understanding how it works today, working directly with customers, translating real-world leasing and billing requirements into precise engineering tasks, and partnering closely with engineering to ship reliable, scalable functionality on the Salesforce platform.
Key Responsibilities
Own the Product End-to-End
- Develop and maintain a deep understanding of the Leaseworks product, data model, and workflows
- Act as the primary product owner for a complex, domain-heavy enterprise application
- Own backlog prioritization, scope definition, and release planning
Work Deeply with Customers
- Lead customer discovery and requirements discussions with aircraft lessors
- Understand real-world leasing, billing, and invoicing workflows (including edge cases)
- Translate customer needs into clear, structured, engineer-ready specifications
- Balance customer requests with platform constraints and long-term product integrity
Partner Closely with Engineering
- Write detailed product requirements and acceptance criteria
- Break features into well-defined engineering tasks across data model, logic, UI, and integrations
- Make informed tradeoffs between Salesforce configuration vs custom code
- Ensure solutions respect Salesforce platform constraints (governor limits, security, packaging, upgradeability)
Ensure Financial Accuracy & Enterprise Quality
- Own correctness and auditability of financial workflows (e.g., invoices, calculations, reporting)
- Anticipate downstream impacts to reporting, billing, and customer operations
- Help maintain a stable, scalable product in a highly customized enterprise environment
Qualifications
Experience
- 7+ years of experience in product management, business analysis, or solution architecture for enterprise software
- Strong hands-on experience with the Salesforce platform, including:
- Objects and data modeling
- Flows and automation
- Security model (profiles, permission sets, sharing)
- Managed packages / enterprise deployments
- Experience building or managing financial, billing, or contract-driven systems
- Experience working directly with enterprise customers
Domain & Analytical Skills
- Comfort with financial concepts such as invoicing, proration, schedules, and multi-currency
- Strong systems thinking and attention to detail
- Ability to reason about complex workflows and data dependencies
Collaboration & Ownership
- Ability to work independently and take full ownership of a product area
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Credibility with engineers and comfort pushing back when requirements conflict with platform or data integrity
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Experience in aircraft leasing, equipment leasing, or asset finance
- Salesforce certifications (Admin, Platform App Builder, or similar)
- Background as a Salesforce consultant or solution architect
Who This Role is Not For
- PMs without hands-on Salesforce platform experience
- PMs focused primarily on growth, UX, or consumer products
- Candidates uncomfortable with financial systems or detailed requirements
- People who prefer to delegate technical understanding entirely to engineering
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary
- Fully remote work
- Generous time off policy
- Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
- Dynamic, collaborative, and fast-growing work environment.
