Senior Product Manager, Planet

• 6 to 8 years of technical product management experience bridging core platform teams and technical field teams (FDE, Solutions Engineering)
• Solid understanding of tasking, scheduling, or workflow-orchestration systems, and enterprise integration patterns
• Proven ability to separate generalizable platform capabilities from one-off customizations
• Experience translating operational rules, mission logic, or domain-specific business processes into system workflows and product requirements
• Background in geospatial intelligence, satellite tasking, or a closely related defense technology field
• Track record of prioritizing backlogs across competing technical and operational demands
• Experience presenting technical trade-offs and mission impact in both engineering design reviews and executive/customer briefings
• Experience independently owning a roadmap or workstream spanning multiple concurrent priorities, with minimal day-to-day oversight

Desirable

• As Senior Product Manager, Defense & Intelligence (D&I) Tasking Solutions, you bridge Planet's core Tasking platform and our defense mission offerings
• You will own Tip-and-Cue and the Tasking Strategy Engine—translating complex mission rules into satellite collection—while representing D&I operational needs into core platform product lines, including Constellation Services (CxS) and Real-Time Insights (RTI)
• Partnering closely with Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE), you will focus on technical delivery: converting recurring field integration patterns into durable, reusable platform capabilities that accelerate delivery speed across high-consequence defense environments
• Define how customer config-driven logic translates to sensor/constellation selection, collection cadence, multi-constellation/all-weather logic that converts mission intent into optimized satellite collection calls
• Partner with Forward Deployed Engineers in the field to identify recurring customer integration patterns, converting them into generalizable, reusable platform features rather than one-off custom builds
• Convert defense business rules and domain logic into dynamic tasking strategy designs, directly driving down pixel-to-insight latency
• Consolidate inputs across field engineering, GTM/sales, and adjacent PM counterparts into a prioritized D&I Tasking Solutions roadmap
• Collaborate closely with the Commercial Tasking, CxS and RTI product managers to ensure D&I tasking, capacity, and low-latency delivery requirements are represented in the shared platform roadmap
• Work with compliance and security teams to ensure all products and services adhere to export control laws, national security constraints, and data privacy standards
• Collaborate with adjacent D&I Solutions PMs (owning platform extensibility, packaging, and frontend mission workflows) to deliver a seamless end-to-end user experience
