Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Overstory is tackling the climate crisis by innovating in the electric utility industry through advanced technology. They are seeking a Staff Product Manager to lead their Vegetation Intelligence product area, focusing on machine learning models and new product capabilities to prevent outages and wildfires.
Responsibilities
- Own the roadmap for Vegetation Intelligence, spanning from the ML models that produce our risk data to the products that turn it into customer action
- Push our detection models further, and help fold their outputs into Overstory’s broader outage and ignition risk models
- Contribute towards increasing the number of actionable insights: run user research, ground priorities in the operational decisions customers actually make, and make sure what we ship drives real action in the field
- Shift the roadmap from scaling- and technical-led to customer-driven, without losing the technical rigor that got us here
- Work closely with data scientists and ML engineers to turn model capability into shipped product value, and define what “good” looks like for a model in production
- Explore how feedback from customers and end users, like arborists, can improve model performance over time
- Communicate clearly and often with the broader product and engineering team, so trade-offs, model limits, and priorities stay visible
- Contribute to Overstory’s broader product strategy so Vegetation Insights supports where the rest of the product is headed
Skills
- 8+ years of product management experience, with a track record that proves both craft and shipping speed
- Hands-on experience building and shipping products powered by machine learning models. You understand how models get built, trained, evaluated, and improved, and you can talk model performance and trade-offs directly with data scientists and ML engineers
- Experience turning a scaling- or technical-led roadmap into a customer-driven one, including running user research and translating it into product priorities
- Experience working in a fast-paced startup, comfortable with ambiguity and making calls before everything's fully defined
- A track record building B2B products that customers rely on daily, including products where the value comes from turning data or model outputs into decisions customers can act on
- Strong written and verbal communication. You bring clarity to technical trade-offs and bring teams along as priorities shift
- Experience leading product strategy and roadmapping, and building consensus across product, engineering, and data science
- Experience building geospatial products or working with GIS technologies
- Experience with complex data products, especially data pipelines and platforms, including ingesting and processing large, diverse datasets from multiple sources
- Experience building machine learning products for image-based applications, like computer vision or image recognition
Benefits
- Competitive, location-specific compensation and benefits
- Flexible, autonomous and collaborative working environment rooted in trust - we build our work days around our lives, not the other way around
- Home office stipend, coworking and ongoing education budgets
- A company culture that genuinely embodies each of our core values
- To be part of truly mission-driven work that reduces wildfires, protects earth’s natural resources and helps solve our climate crisis
- We gather once a year in-person for our unforgettable team gathering event
- We also offer the option to occasionally meet up for in-person collaboration
