Product Manager, AI-First Product Delivery

Job Description

Hydrosat is a space and data analytics company building a new Earth observation constellation and software platform to unlock the power of thermal infrared imagery. We deliver high-resolution thermal insights that help governments, defense agencies, and agribusinesses better manage water resources, agricultural production, national security threats, and critical infrastructure.

We grow through two distinct routes to market – government programmes, and commercial data and subscription products – and our product and engineering teams build the platform that powers both.

We're looking for a product manager who will own the operating system that turns product decisions into shipped, high-quality product, in addition to bringing AI-first practices into the product development process.

As we scale, we need to balance long-term vision and strategy with the need to move quickly and iterate based on customer feedback. This role bridges that gap. By taking ownership of the delivery engine – the process, speed, and quality of what we ship – you enable the organization to maintain high velocity while deepening our strategic focus. You'll also bring in AI and associated tools to accelerate the product development process: hands-on prototyping, building workflow automations, and driving adoption across the product team.

This role reports into the Head of Product and works closely with UX design, software and data engineering, science and customer success teams, and product marketing. This is an execution-first role with a clear growth path: as the platform scales and new use cases come online, there is scope to own a product surface end-to-end.

Responsibilities

Product Delivery (~70–80%)

• Translate roadmap priorities into detailed engineering requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Own the UX handoff process with the designer: polished interactions, resolved edge cases, defined state management.
• Manage sprint execution, track delivery against commitments, and proactively flag risks.
• Coordinate dependencies across engineering, science, and other teams.
• Run the operating cadence: standups, sprint reviews, status updates, and launch readiness.
• Manage prioritization of customer requests, providing transparency on timelines and decisions to the customer success team and other stakeholders.

Job Requirements

• End-to-End Product Delivery: You have owned delivery end-to-end in a product organization, from requirements gathering and definition, through backlog management, UX handoffs, and UAT.
• Engineering and Science Partnership: You have experience working alongside software and data engineering teams, as well as science teams.
• Decision Making: You are comfortable making product decisions at your level, with the maturity to know when to escalate critical blockers, and can manage complex tradeoffs between functionality, UX, and customer value.
• Basic Technical Literacy: You have a basic understanding of software development building blocks and machine learning concepts, allowing you to speak the engineering and science team's language with some guidance.
• Ownership & Validation: You have a strong sense of ownership and the ability to propose and validate ideas using a balanced combination of data and sound judgment.
• Prioritization: You use established prioritization frameworks to manage requests from multiple customers, ensuring clear and rapid communication between product, engineering, and customer success teams, and feel comfortable saying “no” while keeping stakeholders' trust.
• AI-Native Execution: You have hands-on experience building with AI tools (prototyping, coding, agents, automation) and can identify where AI can drive innovation, accelerate decision-making, or automate processes.
