• Be the voice of the customer for an entire industry at Zeitview. You will be Zeitview's resident expert for our Oil & Gas vertical. You own problem definition: understanding what enterprise customers in your vertical actually need, why they need it, and what it's worth. You run discovery, build client relationships alongside sales, synthesize market signals, and translate all of that into clear, prioritized requirements that our platform product managers and engineering teams can execute against. You are responsible for competitive intel and defining metrics to demonstrate the success of the product and strategies. You should be growth focused. You will not just iterate on our existing product/service offerings but propose business cases and GTM for expanding our offerings. You do not own the product backlog or ship software directly, you own the "what" and "why," then work with solutions-side PMs to negotiate the "how" and "when."
• Define what "success" looks like for the Oil & Gas vertical in terms that connect to revenue, retention, and customer outcomes, not just feature delivery
• Embed with 3–5 strategic accounts within our Oil & Gas portfolio. Not to sell, but to understand their inspection workflows, pain points, and decision-making structures deeply enough to write requirements they'd recognize as their own
• Run structured discovery across a mix of methods (customer interviews, operational ride-alongs, competitive analysis, usage data) and synthesize findings into a prioritized problem set for your vertical
• Negotiate with platform PMs over engineering capacity, making the case for your vertical's priorities with data and customer evidence, not volume
• Write requirements that hold up under engineering scrutiny: specific enough to build from, flexible enough to serve platform-wide
• Build internal credibility as the person who knows your industry better than anyone else in the building
• A platform-building role. You will not own a product backlog, write technical specs, or ship software with engineers day-to-day. If that's what you're looking for, see our Senior Product Manager - Asset Insights posting.
• A pure strategy role, with no customer contact. You will be on calls with enterprise clients regularly. You will travel to sites. You will see the physical infrastructure your product serves.
• A people management role. You will coordinate across functions and informally guide others, but you will not have direct reports.

Required

• Bachelor's degree (or higher) in a science, technology, or related field, or equivalent work experience
• 8+ years of professional experience, with 5+ years in product management, solutions consulting, technical sales, or a comparable customer-facing role in enterprise software
• Deep domain expertise in Oil & Gas. "Deep" means you can walk onto a customer site and understand what you're looking at: the assets, the inspection workflows, the regulatory context, and the business model.
• You have a track record of building trusted relationships with enterprise customers and converting those relationships into product insight, not just feature requests, but an understanding of underlying needs
• You can run structured discovery and synthesize qualitative and quantitative inputs into a prioritized problem set that other teams can act on
• You have commercial acumen: you understand how product decisions connect to pipeline, deal size, retention, and competitive positioning in your vertical
• Exceptional communication skills. You can present to a customer's VP of Asset Management on Monday and translate that conversation into a product brief for solutions PMs and Engineering on Tuesday
• Willingness to travel to customer sites and inspection locations

Preferred

• Experience working with operational or service delivery teams (field inspection, drone operations, or similar)
• Experience with geospatial data, remote sensing, or asset management platforms
• Familiarity with AI/ML-powered products, enough to assess where these capabilities address real vertical problems vs. where they're a distraction
• Experience with go-to-market strategy: product launches, positioning, pricing, or vertical-specific marketing
• Experience in mobile application development
• Feel great about your work as you join a leading mission-driven intelligent aerial imaging company - our goal is to accelerate the global transition to renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure, and you personally will play a large part in making this happen!
• Competitive base salary, annual bonus and stock options
• Your choice of multiple medical insurance plans, including options with an HSA and 100% coverage of the premium for yourself and your dependents
• Unlimited PTO: We mean it when we say we prioritize work-life balance and mental health
• Autonomy and upward mobility
• Diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture: a place where your voice matters
• This role has a base salary range of $160,000 - $180,000 USD, plus a target annual bonus and eligibility for stock options. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location within USA.
