Job description

Archer is an aerospace company based in San Jose, California building an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with a mission to advance the benefits of sustainable air mobility. We are designing, manufacturing, and operating an all-electric aircraft that can carry four passengers while producing minimal noise. Our sights are set high and our problems are hard; diversity in the workplace makes us smarter, drives better insights, and ultimately lifts us all to success. We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences and celebrates all team members.

What You’ll Do

As the Digital Technology Product Manager, you will drive the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of high-impact digital products that enable Archer’s enterprise systems, engineering operations, and corporate functions to scale effectively. Reporting to the Head of DTO PMO / SoC, you will operate at the intersection of technology, business transformation, and operational excellence—translating enterprise needs into clear product strategies and measurable outcomes.

• Define and own the product vision, multi-quarter roadmap, and investment priorities for key Digital Technology platforms (enterprise systems, infrastructure tooling, AI-enabled workflows, and operational applications).
• Partner with Engineering, Finance, Operations, InfoSec, and Compliance to identify high-value opportunities and translate them into clearly defined product increments.
• Establish outcome-driven KPIs tied to business value (efficiency gains, risk reduction, automation lift, compliance maturity, user adoption).
• Lead end-to-end product lifecycle management— from discovery and business case development through launch, adoption, and continuous optimization.
• Drive disciplined backlog prioritization aligned to AOP, capacity constraints, and enterprise risk posture.
• Ensure alignment with cybersecurity, SOX, and ITGC requirements across all in‑scope systems and initiatives.
• Champion scalable product governance—intake frameworks, stage gates, dashboard reporting, and executive-ready status communication.
• Influence senior stakeholders and executive leadership with data-driven insights and structured trade-off analysis.
• Collaborate with PMO, architecture, and engineering leads to ensure delivery predictability, risk transparency, and measurable value realization.

What You Need

• 8+ years of experience in product management, digital transformation, or enterprise technology roles, with demonstrated ownership of complex enterprise platforms.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• Experience with enterprise systems (ERP, PLM, HRIS, security tooling, or operational platforms).
• Strong financial and analytical acumen—ability to build business cases, quantify ROI, and manage budget accountability.
• Deep understanding of governance, compliance, and technology controls (SOX, ITGC, change management, access controls).
• Demonstrated ability to influence at Director/VP level and operate effectively in cross-functional, matrixed environments.
• Strong communication skills—able to translate between technical, operational, and executive audiences.
• Experience working within structured PMO environments and agile/hybrid delivery models.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace, aviation, manufacturing, or other hardware-intensive industries.
• Exposure to AI-enabled enterprise tools or workflow automation platforms.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks and enterprise risk management models.
• Experience supporting rapid growth environments with scaling infrastructure and systems maturity initiatives.
• Prior experience reporting into or closely partnering with C‑suite leaders on digital strategy.
• +4 years of experience in digital technology infrastructure at a OEM or Tier 1 level aerospace, automotive, or defense company.
