Absolute Ocean Onboard extends these capabilities to the edge, supporting operations in disconnected, bandwidth-constrained, shipboard, and secure environments.\nTerradepth serves Government, defense, intelligence, energy, infrastructure, survey, and other commercial customers operating in the Global maritime domain.\nWe move with Speed, Discipline, and Collaboration. We seek people who are humble enough to learn, confident enough to execute, and committed to measurable results.\nTHE OPPORTUNITY\nTerradepth is seeking an experienced, hands-on Product Manager to serve as the critical connective tissue between Business Development, Marketing, Engineering, and Executive Leadership. Reporting to the VP, Product & AI, you will run the product roadmap, backlog, and requirements across our cloud SaaS platform (Absolute Ocean), edge-computing deployments (Absolute Ocean Onboard), and integrated ocean hardware/autonomy capabilities.\nWe are looking for a disciplined product leader who starts from market problems and turns them into actionable, traceable requirements. You will work side-by-side with sales and BD to engage customers, look past immediate surface asks to uncover true underlying needs, and prioritize features that either generate revenue or unlock key new markets. If you thrive in a dynamic, high-growth startup environment, excel at balancing trade-offs under resource constraints, and bring formal product management rigor, this role is for you.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nConnective Tissue & Cross-Functional Liaison: Serve as the primary hub aligning Business Development, Marketing, Engineering, and Executive leadership. Collect ground-truth market feedback from BD and clients, translate marketing vision and design philosophies into clear engineering context, and ensure outward-facing marketing materials accurately reflect true software/hardware capabilities.\nSingle Source of Truth for Roadmaps & Backlogs: Aggressively groom the product roadmap across hardware, software, edge, and hardware/autonomy integrations, keeping them current and visible to every team.\nMarket Problem Translation & Requirements Definition: Engage directly with targeted end users and customers to identify pervasive problems. Translate customer pain points into clear, traceable product requirements, use cases, user stories, rationale, and acceptance criteria while preserving the intuitive UI/UX that sets Absolute Ocean apart.\nExecutive & Engineering Alignment: Facilitate tight alignment between engineering leadership and product management on milestones, schedules, and technical tradeoffs. Prepare data-backed trade studies and decision briefs with the VP, based on market trends, customer impact, and company goals.\nIndustry Involvement & Customer Engagement: Participate alongside BD in industry conferences, customer meetings, and field demonstrations to gather firsthand market accounts. Distinguish essential market signals from noise to continuously refine product strategy.\n Marketing & Operational Coordination: Collaborate with marketing and test engineering teams to coordinate operational media assets (e.g., UUV ocean operation filming during test milestones) and align product UI palettes with company design guidelines.\n Pragmatic Prioritization: Run the prioritization process (\"herding the cats\") across competing stakeholder demands, weigh initiatives by revenue and strategic-market impact, and bring recommended trade-offs to the VP.\nCustomer Support & Release Operations: Own the product side of customer support, including the ticket workflow and knowledge base in HubSpot, and write release notes and customer-facing product updates. Handle day-to-day administration of product vendors and tools.\nRequirements\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS\n5+ years of product management experience leading B2B SaaS products (this is not an entry-level PM role).\nExperience working with products that integrate hardware/appliances, robotics, autonomous systems, or edge computing.\nProven track record of translating complex customer requests into root-cause problem statements, traceable requirements, and clear acceptance criteria.\nHands-on expertise and fluency with modern agile tools, specifically Jira, Jira Product Discovery (JPD), and Confluence.\nDemonstrated use of AI tools to accelerate product research, requirements development, analysis, prototyping, or product operations, with an understanding of how AI-enabled features are specified, tested, and evaluated.\nAbility to evaluate product investments using customer value, revenue potential, strategic importance, technical effort, and opportunity cost.\nStartup mindset: Demonstrated ability to make pragmatic trade-offs with limited time, budget, and resources while remaining flexible and collaborative.\nStrong customer-facing presence with the ability to engage directly alongside sales teams and conduct customer discovery interviews.\nWillingness to travel 20-30% for customer visits, trade shows, field tests, and operational demonstrations.\nU.S. citizenship.\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nExperience with defense, intelligence, or U.S. Government acquisition and customer sets.\nBackground or familiarity with geospatial data, GIS, oceanography, bathymetry, maritime domain awareness, or remote sensing.\nActive Secret or Top Secret security clearance.\nExperience delivering both cloud-native SaaS and edge/disconnected hardware solutions.\nStrong credibility with technical engineering teams as well as executive sales and leadership teams.\nFormal Product Management Training & Certification (e.g., Pragmatic Institute, SVPG, or equivalent) demonstrating a structured methodology for market research, requirements definition, and prioritization.\nMEASURES OF SUCCESS\nCreation and maintenance of a clear, prioritized product roadmap in JPD serving as the single source of truth across the organization.\nTimely delivery of clear, high-quality product requirements that enable engineering execution with minimal friction or re-work.\nHigh alignment and low tension between engineering, product, marketing, sales, and executive leadership.\nSuccessful launch of features and capabilities directly tied to revenue growth and new market entry.\nRegular, structured market intelligence feeds generated from customer interactions and industry event participation.\nTHE PERSON WE ARE LOOKING FOR\nYou are a pragmatic product leader, an empathetic listener, and a disciplined operator.\nYou know how to look past what a customer asks for to uncover what they truly need.\nYou have the technical depth and credibility to debate trade-offs with engineers, the commercial sense to partner effectively with sales, and the clarity to deliver crisp decision briefs to executives.\nYou embrace the basic \"blocking and tackling\" of product management-keeping backlogs tight, roadmaps transparent, and requirements rigorous-while never losing sight of the broader market trends and user experience.\nYou are comfortable with ambiguity, thrive in high-autonomy startup environments, and build consensus through collaboration and data.\nEQUAL OPPORTUNITY\nTerradepth is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value different backgrounds and perspectives and are committed to maintaining a workplace in which qualified individuals can contribute, grow, and succeed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7965,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Autonomous Driving","Underwater & Marine Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T22:42:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/terradepth-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/terradepth-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T00:51:37Z","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":1420,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"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":176570},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176570"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fterradepth-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%2Fterradepth-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%2Fterradepth-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/terradepth-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fterradepth-product-manager"}]}
