We’d Love It If You Have

• A strong engineering background with prior experience as an engineer before transitioning into product management.

• Proven experience in product management, in a fast-paced environment, ideally at an early-stage startup or a high-growth company.

• Proven ability optimising execution and streamlining processes to turn established product visions into reality— you love rolling up your sleeves to make things happen, driving execution and smooth processes from the engine room rather than steering from the helm!

• Market experience in AI, robotics, or physical AI, with a background in self-driving, drones, robotics, or similar deep-tech industries and a strong understanding of customer needs.

• Excellent communication and writing skills, with a track record of blogging, technical writing, or creating content that translates complex topics into clear, engaging narratives.

• You thrive in an early-stage, high-agency environment, thriving in a fast-moving setting with highly skilled engineers who resist excessive process-heavy structures.

• Timezone alignment – Ideally based in Europe (used to working with West Coast customers) or US East Coast (Boston area preferred).
