Build operating processes for satellite communications and IoT services, covering monitoring, incident response, partner coordination, data analysis, and improvement. Primarily office-based with limited remote work.
About this role
This role manages products that use satellite-derived remote-sensing data and other geospatial information. The position starts with direct interviews with government agencies, private-sector organizations, and local users to understand customer problems, business workflows, and decision-making structures. It identifies which challenges can be addressed with satellite or geospatial data and expresses them as product hypotheses.
The product manager defines requirements and priorities based on market analysis, customer needs, and workflow analysis. The role works with satellite-data engineers and data scientists to create implementable specifications while considering constraints such as data pipelines. It also leads go-to-market planning and execution, including pricing, contract structures, sales channels, proposals, and conversion to orders.
The position leads decisions across development, business, and sales, including development prioritization and internal consensus building. It is also responsible for redesigning knowledge and technical assets from individual projects into products that can be expanded across multiple customers and industries. Future responsibilities may include designing alliances with government agencies and partner companies.
Within 12 to 18 months, the expected outcomes are the ability to independently develop product hypotheses from customer workflows and decision structures and take them through development, proposal, and order acquisition, plus an initial scalable product design and at least one expansion result involving multiple customers.
The products serve use cases including agricultural yield prediction, ocean monitoring, and land management. Customers are primarily domestic and international government and international organizations, with private companies also included. The team includes a product-development group of approximately three to four engineers and data scientists and a business-development group of approximately five people. The role is based at the Ariake office in Koto, Tokyo, with office attendance generally expected and limited remote work available. Space-industry experience is not required.
