We’re live across oil and gas and petrochemicals, working towards our mission: sustainable abundancefor a growing planet.\nThe hydrocarbon industry keeps the world running. But its complexity has left operators tied to legacy systems,making critical decisions on less than 10% of available data. We built Orbital to change that. It’s a foundation modelbuilt specifically for energy that lets companies use AI at scale, harnessing all of their operational data and optimising in real time for any metric. Decisions get faster, operations get safer, and carbon intensity falls.\nWe’ve raised over $32 million, including one of the largest seed rounds for an AI company in the UK. We’re justgetting started.\nThe Role\nProduct Manager’s are responsible for product adoption, usage and value-generation. This means deeply understanding users and their technical requirements and owning delivery for a core area of Orbital. This is a customer- and domain-led role: you’ll spend real time with operators in petrochemicals to understand how decisions actually get made today, and translate that understanding into product capabilities and features that change how their plant is run.\nThis is a product delivery role. You’ll work closely with AI researchers, ML engineers, full stack engineers, project managers and account managers to invent new capabilities that change how the energy industry is run.\nWhat You’ll Own\nDeep understanding of users, their problems, what matters to them and how they make decisions\nProduct strategy and roadmap for your area of Orbital\nStrong working knowledge of downstream operations and the workflows Orbital needs to fit into\nPrioritisation decisions, balancing customer feedback against hypotheses of what will best drive impact\nRequirements, specs, and acceptance criteria\nOngoing iteration and testing with engineering and research colleagues\nClose relationships and feedback loops with customers and users\nProduct, usage and utilisation analytics\nMust-Have Qualifications\n5+ years as a Product Manager, ideally in enterprise B2B SaaS or deep-tech\nExperience with physics, chemistry, heavy industry, manufacturing or AI, UI/UX and workflows\nDirect experience in Oil & Gas or Energy, ideally downstream (refining, petrochemicals)\nA track record of inventing tech products\nComfort operating with ambiguity, incomplete data, and evolving customer needs\nClear, structured written and verbal communication - able to represent customer needs to a technical audienceand technical trade-offs back to customers\nNice to Haves (You’ll Learn)\nExperience building AI products - where the product is powered by in-house trained models\nExperience building agentic workflows and agentic product experiences\nExposure to enterprise delivery environments\nExperience with process control, operations, or reliability engineering software\nHow We Work\nProcess exists to serve delivery, not the other way around\nPragmatism beats dogma; we adapt tools and rituals to reality\nWe value clarity, speed, and ownership over perfect frameworks\nWe iterate on process the same way we iterate on product\nWhat This Role Is Not\nNot a delivery or operations role tracking sprint mechanics - that’s Product Operations\nNot a Scrum Master\nNot a passive requirements-taker; this role sets direction\nNot detached from the field - you’ll spend meaningful time with customers and operations teams\nCore Responsibilities\nCustomer & Domain Expertise\nSpend regular time with customers - onsite where useful - to learn about their problems and understand their world\nRepresent the voice of the customer inside the company, and the voice of the roadmap to customers\nBuild and maintain deep knowledge of downstream O&G operations and how operators make decisions today\nProduct Strategy & Roadmap\nTranslate customer needs into new features, functionality, workflows and capabilities\nEnsure your area of Orbital is adopted, used and creating value for customers\nTranslate downstream operational challenges - refining constraints, petrochemical process economics, safety and compliance - into a clear, prioritised backlog\nMake and defend prioritisation calls, balancing near-term customer commitments with platform durability\nCross-Functional Delivery\nPartner closely with research and engineering leads to scope, spec, and sequence work\nDaily calibration of where your research and engineering colleagues should be focused on\nIn the details that matter - scoping requirements, testing hypotheses and iterating on the latest release\nCoordinate with customer-facing project managers so committed timelines reflect real product and engineering capacity\nCommunication & Stakeholder Management\nCommunicate roadmap, rationale, and trade-offs clearly to leadership, engineering, and customers\nSurface risks and scope trade-offs early - no surprises\nMaintain artefacts such as roadmap documents, release notes, and customer-facing capability overviews\nWhat Success Looks Like\nFirst 60-90 Days\nYou’ve spent meaningful time with downstream customers and can speak fluently to their operational priorities\nA clear, prioritised roadmap exists for your product area, understood by engineering and leadership\nYou’re the go-to person for “why are we building this” in your area\n6-12 Months\nYour product area ships features, functionality and workflows that measurably move customer-defined metrics - safety, uptime, margin, carbon intensity\nCustomer-facing and internal project managers are aligned on what’s being built and why\nYour roadmap decisions are trusted by engineering, leadership, and customers alike","description_format":"text","description_chars":5684,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Chemical Manufacturing","Petroleum & Mining Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T15:33:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.503,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":49,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/applied-computing-senior-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/applied-computing-senior-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T16:37:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25171,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3872728},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3872728"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapplied-computing-senior-product-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapplied-computing-senior-product-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapplied-computing-senior-product-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/applied-computing-senior-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapplied-computing-senior-product-manager"}]}
