Our growth is backed by Tiger Global Management and Vista Equity Partners, one of the world’s premier software investors, known for scaling high-performance SaaS companies. Together, we are building the next-generation AI Powered Connected Worker Platform, combining cutting-edge technologies — SLM’s, Generative AI, Computer Vision, and Intelligent Orchestration — into a unified system that transforms plant operations globally.

• Collaborate closely with customers, sales, CS, and implementation teams to identify problems, validate solutions, and translate complex business workflows into intuitive product experiences.
• Define and track product success metrics, leveraging data to drive decisions on feature enhancements, deprecations, and long‑term investments.

• 8–10+ years of product management experience with at least 2–3 years in a senior / lead PM or Associate Director level role owning a product or portfolio.
• Strong background in B2B SaaS products such as maintenance / field operations / EAM or similar enterprise workflows.
• Proven track record of managing end‑to‑end product lifecycle and shipping impactful features in close partnership with engineering, design, and business stakeholders.
• Experience leading high‑performing teams and influencing cross‑functional stakeholders without authority.
• Comfort with data, experimentation, and using analytics to drive prioritization and roadmap decisions.
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and stakeholder‑management skills, including customer‑facing product demonstrations.
• MBA or equivalent business education from a reputed institute is a plus.
• Exposure to GTM, proposals, SOWs, and commercial aspects of product deals is an added advantage.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in maintenance / frontline operations / asset‑heavy industries or related SaaS platforms.
• Comfort with analytical tools (Sheets, BI / dashboard tools, basic SQL or equivalent) to analyze product usage and performance
  
  

What We Offer:

• A positive, open, and highly-innovative environment and team
• Entrepreneurial spirit with unlimited opportunity to grow
• Opportunity to work with leading global brands on exciting and impactful projects
• Competitive Base Pay
• Best of plan on Vacation & Paid Time Off
