Junior Product Manager

Junior Product Manager

Role Description

This is not your average Product Management role. DarkVision’s Product Managers have a broad range of autonomy and responsibilities that require a high degree of technical acuity and pragmatism. This role is highly diverse and will require an individual who is well-organized and relentlessly resourceful. The successful candidate will support all aspects of our industry-leading downhole industrial imaging products, with a focus on the near-term tactical execution of tasks that support our strategic roadmap as we continue to expand into new geographies and applications.

We want to hear from you if you are technically competent, think like an entrepreneur, and are driven to make a difference. No prior Product Management or Non-destructive Testing experience is required. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing world-class team who are revolutionizing how industrial players assess the condition of their mission-critical assets.

Responsibilities

• Product Roadmap Management: Monitor and maintain our Downhole Service product roadmaps used to communicate and track product improvements and developments.

This role requires informal communication with many groups within DarkVision and the ability to discuss and challenge progress in an efficient and friendly manner. 
• Product Requirements, Projects, and Publications: Work with our product team to ideate and execute continuous improvement initiatives. This includes coordinating the needs of multiple stakeholders (Engineering, R&D, Data Analysis, Sales) and coordinating lab or field testing to validate new downhole inspection applications. To do this successfully, you must create presentations and documentation for sales engineers, scientific publications, clients, and the Marketing team. 
• Market Pulse: With many emerging downhole product opportunities, there are countless events, client meetings, technical papers, journal articles, webinars, and presentations you will monitor and distill into key insights for executive audiences. You must regularly disseminate these distilled insights for the broader DarkVision product, engineering, sales, and executive teams to inform our go-to-market strategies and timing.
• Customer Deliverables: DarkVision currently delivers highly differentiated downhole inspection datasets, visualizations, and reports as our final product to Oil & Gas companies worldwide. We have a high bar for quality, impact, and consistency. You will monitor and audit DarkVision’s day-to-day downhole deliverables to help ensure that they are differentiated, timely, and always solving our clients’ objectives. 
• Competitive and Market Analysis: Understand and monitor what our downhole competitors deliver today and what they are working towards in the future.
