You will translate real-world operational needs into clear product requirements, drive cross-functional delivery across hardware / software / AI / integrations, and keep complex multi-party programs on track.
This role also serves as a key “force multiplier” to supportthe Chief Product Officer (CPO) in managing the end-to-end product and project lifecycle —ensuring priorities are clear, delivery is predictable, and stakeholders stay aligned.
Key Responsibilities
1) Product Management (Build the right thing)
- Own the product roadmap execution for key platform modules (fleet ops dashboard, job workflows, integrations, alerts, reporting).
- Translate customer / ops needs into PRDs, user journeys, epics / stories, acceptance criteria , and non-functional requirements (reliability, security, performance, observability).
- Drive prioritization with clear trade-offs (impact vs effort vs risk), and manage scope through disciplined change control.
2) Program / Delivery Management (Build it right, on time)
- Lead end-to-end delivery across workstreams : software, robotics, site readiness, vendor integrations, QA / testing, rollout.
- Own governance : master plan, milestones, dependencies, RAID log, decision log, release plan, rollout checklist .
- Run cadence using Agile / Scrum practices (planning, grooming, standups, retros, release planning) and ensure delivery predictability.
- Drive readiness for FRC / FAT / UAT / go-live , including test plans, sign-offs, launch criteria, and post-launch stabilization.
- Support CPO / CEO by maintaining a single source of truth across roadmap, delivery plans, risks, and decisions (Jira / Confluence).
- Prepare concise project and product updates : progress, blockers, risks, decisions required, and next steps.
- Facilitate alignment across leadership and teams via decision memos , meeting agendas, action trackers, and follow-ups.
- Ensure initiatives move smoothly through the cycle : discovery → definition → build → test → launch → iterate , with clear owners and timelines.
- Support project deployment on site.
3) AI & Cross-Functional Project Leadership
- Manage delivery of AI-related projects / features (e.g., video analytics, detection / classification, assistants, automation workflows).
- Work with engineering / data teams to define success metrics, validation approach, deployment constraints, and real-world monitoring.
4) Research / Innovation Program Management (IHL / Research Institutes)
- Manage joint projects with IHLs and research institutes : milestones, reporting, reviews, deliverables, and alignment to product requirements.
- Translate research outputs into deployable product capabilities and integration plans.
5) Operational Excellence & Documentation
- Create repeatable templates / playbooks (PRDs, test readiness, rollout, handover runbooks, post-mortems).
- Improve delivery quality through structured planning, risk management, and continuous improvement.
Requirements (Must-have)
- 6–10+years in Product + Program / Project Management (or hybrid roles), delivering B2B / enterprise products.
- Strong experience running Agile delivery (Scrum / Kanban).
- Hands‑on proficiency with Jira and Confluence (epics / stories, dashboards, roadmaps, documentation).
- Proven track record managing cross‑functional delivery with external stakeholders / vendors.
- Strong communication : can write crisp PRDs, decision memos, exec updates.
- First Class Honour in Computer Science, Information Technology related degree
Strongly Preferred
- Experience managing research / innovation projects with IHLs and / or research institutes .
- Experience delivering and operationalizing AI projects across cross‑functional teams.
- Familiarity with robotics / IoT deployments and integration constraints (site readiness, networking / security, go‑live).
Technical Plus Points
- Fluent in Python (debugging, analysis, prototyping validations, log / telemetry analysis).
- Understanding of ROS / ROS2 concepts (nodes / topics / services, navigation stack basics, integration patterns).
