Senior Product Manager, Planet

• 6+ years of experience in product management, ideally within Earth Observation or geospatial analytics
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field
• Experience launching "solution" products (bundles of data, analytics, and services) rather than just standalone features
• Ability to translate complex vertical needs into clear engineering tasks and user outcomes
• Solid understanding of vertical market dynamics (e.g., government procurement, supply chains) and experience assessing market size/viability
• Managing end-to-end product lifecycles and navigating ambiguity in fast-paced environments

Desirable

• We are seeking a mission-driven Senior Product Manager for the "Solutions Crafting" pod within the Solution Enablement Group
• While Planet collects the world's most frequent data, our customers need answers, not just pixels
• In this role, you will bridge the gap between Planet’s platform capabilities and specific customer outcomes
• With a relentless customer-centric mindset, you will identify high-value market problems first, then work hand-in-hand with Engineering to decompose them into scalable, reusable technical building blocks combining into solutions
• You will ensure we prioritize opportunities with significant market size, moving Planet from selling raw data to selling measurable value in key verticals like Defense & Intelligence, Civil Government and Commercial
• This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin Office, Graz Office, Haarlem Office, or Ljubljana Office office 3 days per week
• Strategy & Discovery: Lead customer discovery and feasibility studies to validate high-value use cases in CivGov, Commercial, and D&I, ensuring all development is anchored in addressable market needs
• Technical Translation: Partner deeply with Engineering and Data Science to decompose complex vertical requirements into detailed technical specifications, user stories, and prioritized backlog items
• Agile Execution: Act as the primary Engineering liaison for the pod, managing sprint planning and backlog grooming to balance feature delivery with technical debt management
• Solution Building Blocks: Define and deliver reusable "building blocks" within the Planet Platform that allow us to scale solutions across multiple customers rather than building one-offs
• Commercial Enablement: Collaborate with Product Marketing and Sales to package technical capabilities into clear business narratives that demonstrate ROI to non-technical buyers
• Ecosystem Growth: Build relationships with external partners and government agencies to identify opportunities for collaboration and scale

• Application Deadline: May 3, 2026 at 23:59 (11:59p PT)
