Our Zivid 2+ and Zivid 3 cameras deliver industry-leading accuracy, even on black, shiny, or transparent objects, and with Zivid Motion, our real-time, collision-aware motion-planning software, we're one of very few companies in the world delivering vision and motion together as a single platform. We serve the global robotics and automation market from six countries with 100+ employees and a global customer base.\nWe are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own our robotics software platform and shape where it goes next.\nJOB DESCRIPTION\nWhy this role exists:to turn Zivid Motion and our software into a platform that robot builders choose alongside our cameras.\nYou own Zivid Motion from day one, and you shape where the platform goes next: what we build, how it fits with our cameras and SDK, and how we position and price it. This is a zero-to-one role. The platform strategy is still taking shape, and you will define it together with our VP of Product and our technical leadership. You will also be a senior voice in a small, cross-functional Product team.\nSCOPE\nOwn Zivid Motion end to end: roadmap, priorities, releases and customer feedback.\nDefine the platform: how motion planning, perception software and our cameras come together as one platform that integrators and robot builders build on.\nSet the positioning, packaging and pricing model for our software.\nWork closely with strategic customers to find the problems worth solving, and turn them into clear requirements for our engineering teams.\nWork with the teams behind our SDK, vision system software and data infrastructure so the platform holds together.\nBring the platform to market with sales and marketing: launches, enablement and the story we tell.\nTake part in leading the product team, and step in on other areas, such as our SDK, when needed.\nThe role reports to the VP of Product.\nOUTCOMES FOR THE FIRST 12 MONTHS\nYou'll be evaluated on these outcomes, not on hours logged or activities completed.\nZivid Motion:A clear roadmap and release plan that you own, and that customers and sales understand.\nPlatform strategy:A written strategy for how out software platform and our cameras fit together, including packaging and pricing, agreed with leadership.\nVoice of the customer:Your priorities are backed by evidence from strategic customers, not assumptions.\nShipped software:New Zivid Motion releases are in customers' hands, and the first platform capabilities are in development.\nWE ARE LOOKING FOR\nMust-have\nCredibility with both engineers and customers: you can go deep on the technical details with engineering, and explain what matters to customers and sales.\nYou can build something new from messy evidence: you find the signal in conflicting customer input, decide what to build (and what not to), and get a first version into customers' hands, whether a new product or a major new capability in an existing one.\nA feel for developer products: you know what makes developers choose a product and stay with it, and you use their feedback to shape it.\nThe ability to get engineering, marketing, sales and customer success to deliver together, and keep it on track when dates or scope shift.\nA structured, hands-on approach that keeps the many moving parts of a platform in good shape at once.\nNice-to-have\nA background in robotics, perception, computer vision or edge AI.\nWHAT'S HARD ABOUT THIS ROLE\nThe platform strategy isn't finished. You'll shape it while delivering on Zivid Motion, so you need to be comfortable with ambiguity. Many customers know Zivid as a camera company, so part of the job is building the case for software, both with customers and inside Zivid. The role spans from deeply technical work with engineering to working directly with customers, and you need to be credible at both ends. And because we're a small, hands-on product team, you do the work yourself, from customer calls and pricing to release notes. If you want a mature roadmap to run, this isn't that role. If you want to build a platform from zero, it is.\nWE OFFER\nA pivotal role building a software platform in a fast-growing scale-up\nSignificant autonomy and career development opportunities\nExposure to cutting-edge 3D vision and robotics technology\nCompetitive compensation package, including sign-on stock options, competitive pension scheme and premium health insurance plan\nOTHER DETAILS\nLocation:Oslo (Nydalen), Norway.
