  • Define what to build by analyzing operational performance data and working closely with domain experts
  • Identify the metrics, instrumentation, and workflows needed to improve operational decision-making
  • Spend time at project sites, processing facilities, and mines to understand how work happens in the field
  • Work at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI to translate advanced capabilities into trusted operational tools
  • Support product development across domains such as mine optimization, plant autonomy, business operations, digital twins, and industrial systems
  • Drive clarity in ambiguous situations by defining scope, making tradeoffs explicit, and focusing teams on high-leverage work
  • Lead cross-functional collaboration with engineers, operators, scientists, and business stakeholders
  • Help build the product management function, including prioritization practices, operating rhythms, and PM development
  • Support software products that directly impact recovery rates, reagent consumption, construction timelines, equipment uptime, and operational performance

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in product management
  • Experience in environments where software intersects with physical systems, industrial operations, or safety-critical applications
  • Ability to go deep on technical domains and build credibility with engineering teams
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams through ambiguous and complex projects with competing constraints
  • Strong curiosity about physical systems and how industrial operations work
  • Ability to communicate with audiences ranging from PhD engineers and scientists to field operators
  • Strong product judgment and ability to prioritize high-leverage work
  • Experience with autonomous systems, robotics, fleet-scale operations, ML-powered products, reinforcement learning, process control, or optimization is a plus
  • Background in industrial software, digital twin systems, process automation, or digital transformation is a plus
  • Engineering or technical degree valued but not required
  • Ability to work on-site and travel significantly as required

Why This Role Matters
