What the job involves
- Archer is on a mission to redefine urban air mobility. As we scale from R&D to manufacturing and operations, the technology organization is building the digital foundations that power every part of our business — from engineering and supply chain to manufacturing, commercial operations, and employee productivity
- We are seeking a Director of Product to establish and lead product management capabilities and culture within Archer’s Technology organization
- This leader will define product vision and strategy across key domains such as user productivity, commercial and customer systems, and digital workflow automation — ensuring that our tools and platforms enable every team at Archer to move faster, work smarter, and scale with confidence
- This is a foundational role: the right person will set direction, deliver early wins, and build a small, high-impact product team over time
- Partner with business and technology leadership to define clear product visions and multi-year roadmaps across areas such as:
- Internal user productivity (collaboration, workflow, automation)
- Commercial and customer systems (CRM, quoting, deal flow)
- Business platforms and data-driven tools for operations
- Establish measurable outcomes that link product investments to business impact, user experience, and company scalability
- Translate strategic goals into actionable product roadmaps, guiding prioritization across competing needs
- Work hands-on with engineering, data, and solutions teams to deliver products that simplify work and drive measurable efficiency
- Bring discipline to discovery, design, and iteration — ensuring that every product shipped delivers tangible value and adoption
- Build frameworks for product lifecycle management, decision-making, and feedback loops with business users
- Serve as the connective tissue between technology and business functions — translating opportunity into execution
- Champion modern product management practices within the technology team
- Recruit, mentor, and develop a small team of Product Managers and UX partners as the function grows
- Model clarity, accountability, and user-centered design thinking across all initiatives
- Collaborate with leaders in Commercial, Operations, Manufacturing, Finance, and People to align product strategy with organizational goals
- Partner with the CIO, CTO, and Data leadership to ensure product direction is tightly integrated with architecture, data, and platform strategies
- Act as a trusted advisor to business stakeholders, ensuring priorities are transparent and execution is reliable
- What Success Looks Like:
- A clear product vision and roadmap that aligns Archer’s business priorities with digital capabilities
- Rapid delivery of tools and systems that make work more efficient and connected
- High adoption and satisfaction across business teams using internally built or integrated systems
- A growing, empowered Product function that shapes how technology decisions are made at Archer
Our take
With traffic, noise, and emissions becoming major challenges for urban life, Archer is building electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircrafts, led by its flagship model, Midnight, offering a cleaner, quieter alternative to traditional short-haul travel. The idea is simple: replace long car rides with quick, sustainable fluights that lift off vertically, fly over the gridlock, and help reduce urban pollution. It's a bold shift in transportation, but one that could meaningfully change how we navigate cities in the years ahead.
Midnight is designed to make these short flights practical, safe, and efficient. Its electric powertrain significantly reduce noise and emissions compared to helicopters (one of the biggest barriers to adopting urban air mobility at scale). However, eVTOLs face hurdles before becoming an everyday reality, including regulatory approvals, infrastructure build-out, and the operational testing needed to prove long-term safety and reliability. Archer is addressing these challenges with major manufacturing investment, deep engineering partnerships, and ongoing flight testing in the US and abroad.
Even with these barriers, Archer has been moving from success to success. The company is set to be the official air taxi provider for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. And its recent acquisition of Hawthorne Airport in LA will serve as both a launch site and an innovation hub for next-generation, AI-powered aviation operations. On the commercial side, Archer's partnerships with United Airlines and its growing international presence signal strong industry confidence. COmbines with newly expanded funding and successful long-range flight tests, Archer sure is a promising player in eVTOl aviation.
