This role requires PMs to translate machine insights into valuable product features, collaborating closely with engineering, data science, and users to create a powerful data platform that meets complex manufacturing needs.

We’re primarily seeking senior-level candidates, but strong mid-level applicants (2-4 years) may also be considered for a Product Manager role with the opportunity to grow within our team.

• Experience: 5+ years as a Product Manager in SaaS, ideally with a focus on technical, data-driven products. Candidates with 2-4 years of relevant experience may be considered for a mid-level Product Manager role with growth potential.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in a technical field such as Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related disciplines. Advanced degrees (MBA or MS) are preferred.
• Analytical Skills: Proficient in data analytics and data engineering principles, with experience in tools and methodologies for KPI tracking, reporting, and driving data-centric decisions.
• Technical Proficiency: Familiarity with SQL, AWS, and a foundational understanding of machine data analysis. Experience with machine connectivity, IoT, or industrial data systems is highly desirable.
• Product Strategy & Vision: Demonstrated ability to create and drive a product vision, align product strategy with business goals, and roadmap data-intensive products for B2B users.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Proven ability to work effectively across teams, including engineering, data science, customer success, and user teams, to translate user needs into valuable product features.
• Project Management: Strong organizational and project management skills to ensure timely and structured delivery of product features, with an ability to handle multiple priorities effectively.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the capacity to simplify technical details for diverse audiences and present insights that drive business impact.

• User-Centric Mindset: Deep empathy for users, with a knack for understanding their needs and translating them into data-driven solutions that provide measurable value.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Manufacturing Systems Knowledge: Familiarity with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to support product integration and user needs.
• Manufacturing Metrics Expertise: Understanding of key manufacturing metrics, such as Units Per Hour (UPH), yield rates, downtime tracking, and the financial implications of these metrics on operational efficiency.

How We Will Support You

• Innovate with Impact: Be part of a team developing transformative data products that optimize and revolutionize manufacturing operations globally. Your work will directly impact efficiency, sustainability, and growth for some of the world’s leading industrial companies.
