- 5+ years of Product Management experience, with a specific focus on Enterprise Software, Supply Chain, or Manufacturing Operations
- Demonstrated understanding of core Supply Chain and Manufacturing concepts (e.g., BOM management, procurement, inventory control, work orders, shop floor control)
Desirable
- Experience managing complex stakeholder relationships and prioritize competing requests in a resource-constrained environment
- Experience leading "Build vs. Buy" evaluations for critical business systems
- Experience with Data Warehousing and BI tools (e.g., Snowflake, Tableau, Looker, PowerBI) and the ability to write SQL for ad-hoc analysis
- Hands-on experience with modern ERP or MES platforms (e.g., Odoo, NetSuite, SAP, Plex, Solumina)

What the job involves
- As a Senior Product Manager at Impulse Space, you will lead the strategy and execution of our internal enterprise software ecosystem
- In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex aerospace manufacturing operations and technical software execution
- You will own the roadmap for the systems that buy our parts and build our vehicles (ERP, MRP, MES), acting as the voice of the Supply Chain and Manufacturing teams
- You won't just gather requirements; you will define the digital strategy that allows Impulse to scale from prototype to high-rate production
- Product Strategy & Roadmapping: Define and maintain a high-level strategic roadmap for enterprise applications (ERP, WMS, MES), balancing immediate operational needs with long-term scalability
- Stakeholder Partnership: Embed yourself with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Finance leadership to understand their friction points and translate them into actionable software requirements
- Lifecycle Management: Own the full product lifecycle for internal tools—from problem discovery and solution design (Build vs. Buy) to launch, user training, and post-deployment support
- Requirements Definition: Translate complex manufacturing workflows into clear user stories, technical specifications, and acceptance criteria for engineering and integration teams
- Data-Driven Decisions: Leverage data warehousing and reporting tools to track key system metrics, identifying bottlenecks in the supply chain or production process that can be solved through software
- User Advocacy: Champion the end-user experience, ensuring that shop-floor technicians and procurement agents have intuitive, high-performance tools that accelerate their workflows
Our take
Impulse Space is developing a line of orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs) that enhance satellite manoeuvrability in space. The company offers products like Mira, for last-mile satellite deliveries and Helios, which can move spacecraft from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous orbit in under 24 hours.
Recognizing the strategic value of manoeuvrable spacecraft, the US Space Force awarded Impulse a $34.5M contract for two missions set for 2026. These missions, Victus Surgo and Victus Salo, will demonstrate in-space operations and enhance space domain awareness, showcasing the Space Force's focus on quickly responding to threats in a congested space environment.
Alongside this, the company secured substantial funding that will allow it to expand its operations and advance its OTV technology. With a proven track record of successful missions and strategic partnerships with the Department of Defense, Impulse is well-positioned to lead in the growing market for responsive satellite services.
