Product Manager - Federal

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 a Federal Product Manager, you will take responsibility for defining and prioritizing key subsets of Skydio’s functionality to ensure we provide a best-in-class capability to Federal Government and Defense customers, globally.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Engage with customers, prospects, and internal stakeholders to understand core business problems and develop customer personas and use case requirements.
• Continually develop and refine the roadmap for Skydio’s mobile applications and vehicle capabilities
• Capture, document, and distill feedback from customers and prospects to continually steer product development.
• Work closely with 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 opportunities in the product space.
• 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 and product positioning and messaging.

What makes you a good fit:

• Two to five years of proven success in 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.
• Three years of experience working directly with federal or defense customers, ideally in a product-based role.
• Engineering or other technical educational background that makes you at home in deep discussions with engineers on complex technical architecture challenges and tradeoffs.

• A passion for speaking with -- and learning from -- customers
