Senior Product Manager (m/f/x)

UP42 was founded in 2019 with a clear purpose: to transform how organizations order, access, and analyze Earth observation data. Our platform brings together the world’s leading geospatial providers, and offers a single touchpoint to access, manage, and process data at scale. From vegetation management and infrastructure monitoring to disaster response, UP42 helps organizations across industries find solutions to complex problems through Earth observation. Our expert support team and detailed documentation guide our users through every step. As of 2024, UP42 is being acquired by Neo Space Group.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager (m/f/x) to join our motivated team in Berlin. The new team member will become a key player at UP42 by taking ownership of our Data Management and Processing capabilities.

In this role, you will lead the strategic development and innovation of these vital geospatial functions. As the functional leader of a diverse and high-performing team, your impact will directly shape our platform's success.

What you will do:

• Drive the product vision and execution of Data Management and Processing Capabilities on the UP42 platform.

• Manage the full product development cycle, from discovery with Product Design to problem validation and product launch, collaborating closely with stakeholders on topics like go-to-market strategies and product documentation.

• Lead the release of high-quality data processing capabilities, ensuring robust quality assurance of processed data.

• Communicate product updates effectively to internal teams and external stakeholders, ensuring alignment across the organization.

• Conduct market research and define processing capabilities that match customer needs and industry trends, including developing Proof of Concepts (PoCs) and driving growth in platform usage and revenue.

• Collaborate closely as a functional lead with your team to build an intuitive, scalable platform for data management and post-processing.

• Define and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) related to data quality, processing capability performance, and platform adoption, using these insights to drive continuous improvement.

• Support the overall platform strategy by identifying opportunities for downstream integrations and expanding processing capabilities to meet evolving customer and partner needs.

Here is a good summary of what we are looking for:

• You have demonstrated leadership and strategic vision as a (Senior) Product Manager or in a similar position within data management, processing, or platform development.

• You have a strong understanding of customer needs related to data processing and management, and you stay current with industry trends and the competitive landscape.

• You have experience defining strategies for processing and downstream integration/capabilities, aligning these with customer and partner needs.

• You hold a proven track record in managing the full product lifecycle, with an emphasis on platform scalability, reliability, and ease of integration.

• You are technically proficient, with hands-on experience in data processing pipelines, APIs, and SDKs.

• Your proven ability for cross-functional collaboration and excellent communication skills set you apart.

• You are fully business-fluent in English.

• Experience with geospatial technologies and/or remote sensing is a strong plus but not a strict requirement.

Let us tell you why UP42 is a good choice: 

• Let’s disrupt the industry: You get the chance to shape the state-of-the-art geospatial processing platform and create a completely new planetary perspective.

• Let’s stay flexible: We practice a hybrid working model - you can choose when to work from the comfort of your home or join your colleagues in our modern office in the heart of Kreuzberg, or even from a global place of your choice up to 90 days per year.

• Let’s win as a team: We’re an inspiring international team working in a fun and productive environment.

• Let’s be fair: We offer a competitive salary package and other perks such as wellbeing initiatives, sponsored fitness subscriptions, educational budget for your personal development and public transportation discount - just to name a few.

• Let’s enjoy the good side of life: Gather in regular team events as well as our global company parties twice a year.

• Let’s think outside of the box: There are challenges and enough space for creativity and taking ownership.
