Director, Product Management - Inspection and Mapping

About the role:

By combining best-in-class autonomy and cloud connectivity, drones will become critical and ubiquitous infrastructure that can be deployed and monitored in real-time to solve a variety of problems faster, cheaper, and safer than ever before. As the Product leader for Inspection & Mapping, you will take responsibility for defining and prioritizing key pieces of Skydio’s inspection functionality across user-facing software features as well as underlying system capabilities, including UI/UX, autonomy software, and sensor capabilities. You’ll ensure that we are building and delivering the right products and features for our entire range of customers. 

How you’ll make an impact:

• Serve as the overall leader for our inspection & mapping products from product definition and development through ownership of revenue and adoption targets.
• Continually develop and own the roadmap and end to end customer workflows for Skydio’s inspection and mapping products and integration partners.
• Engage with customers, prospects, and internal stakeholders to understand core business problems and develop customer personas and use case requirements.
• Travel to customer sites and engage with end-users to gain a deep understanding of real problems and how Skydio can best solve them. 
• Work closely with other product managers, designers and engineering teams spanning hardware, firmware, computer vision, AI, and machine learning to execute on our product vision and deliver a first-class user experience, while also pushing the envelope on new technology.
• Collaborate closely with sales and customer success to build and maintain close customer relationships and ensure success.
• Partner with product marketing to develop launch plans, marketing assets, product positioning, pricing, and packaging. 

What makes you a good fit:

• 10+ years defining and delivering market-leading software products, including specific experience leading development of compelling user-facing software for complex, electronic hardware products. Drone experience is a plus but not required.
• Experience building technology for Skydio’s enterprise and government focus markets: Global government, public safety, and commercial, spanning energy, utilities and construction.
• Experience with geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing and photogrammetry products. 
• Engineering or other technical background that makes you at home in deep discussions with engineers on complex technical challenges and tradeoffs. Experience building products with roots in AI/ML and robotics is a plus but not required.
• Detail-oriented with exceptional written and oral communication skills.
• Dedicated team player who strives to enable others to do their best work.
• A passion for speaking with -- and learning from -- customers
