Role
Who you are
- A minimum 5 years of product management experience, ideally in aerospace, satellite systems, or mission-critical software products
- Strong systems thinking with the ability to manage complex interfaces and technical detail
- Experience working in cross-functional teams with engineers, users, and external vendors
- Skilled in backlog management, agile methodologies, and roadmap development
- A collaborative communicator with a strategic mindset and a drive for measurable impact
What the job involves
- Your Role: Snr Product Manager – Mission Operations Systems (MOS), Driving the development and success of our software tools running optimisation across our satellite operations
- We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Snr Product Manager
- This role is central to ensuring that our MOS product suite delivers measurable business value by maximising imaging performance and providing stable, cost-efficient operations
- As our Snr Product Manager, you will guide the development of features that directly support both objectives—working with technical teams, internal stakeholders, and external partners to deliver tools that enhance performance, reduce operational friction, and maintain a competitive edge in proprietary data collection
- You will be embedded in the MOS team while reporting directly to the VP of Product
- Requirement management: You'll understand the business needs of interfacing functions, collect all business requirements from interfacing cross-functional teams (End-User-Platform & Payload Data Segment) and incorporate those in the backlog
- Ideation & Feature Development: Work with the MOS team & technical leads to convert requirements into feature ideas and document the demands and effort on the features accordingly
- Backlog management: Own the backlog of ideas and feature requests, keep it up to date with all requirements and in close exchange with the team, and drive a coherent prioritisation of all backlog items in line with business requirements
- Product Roadmaps: Drive coherent roadmaps for all MOS tools that consider business requirements and technical feasibility
- Align the team on key milestones and ensure scoping of features to meet critical business milestones
- Cross-functional collaboration and interface management: Be the go-to contact for other teams to align on interface requirements, foster a strong exchange and ensure alignment on roadmap and key milestones
- External supplier interface: Ensure requirements for features/components built by external suppliers are well communicated and clearly understood; manage delivery of features in line with the product roadmap
- Product Strategy: Together with the team, develop and shape a long-term strategy for the MOS tools, considering make or buy decisions
- User Engagement & Feedback: Consolidate feedback and ideas for improvements from users (satellite operators, delivery team) and key interfaces (End-User-Platform & Payload Data Segment), understand their needs, and ensure the product meets or exceeds their expectations
- Drive validations & testing of solution improvements with respective stakeholders
Our take
Efforts to increase the efficiency of agriculture are a staple of European sustainability efforts, but Constellr digs deeper than other agriculture monitoring companies in that it aims to save costs on the technology used to monitor farming, reducing it by up to 97%.
Constellr uses thermal infrared microsatellites to monitor global land surface temperature (LST), analysing and diagnosing the right amount of water needed for optimum crop yields. Its savvy use of space technology could be a long-lasting and highly impactful solution, putting it in good standing.
The company has also attracted numerous investors. This is no surprise given that it has the potential to save up to 2 trillion euros in agricultural water wastage by the end of the 2020s - as much a moral motive as it is a financial one.
