Our mission is to accelerate the global transition to renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure through advanced inspection solutions.

Be the voice of the customer for an entire industry  will be Zeitview’s resident expert for one of our target verticals -- solar, wind, electric utilities, oil & gas, or commercial properties. You own problem definition: understanding what enterprise customers in your vertical actually need, why they need it, and what it’s worth. You run discovery, build client relationships alongside sales, synthesize market signals, and translate all of that into clear, prioritized requirements that our platform product managers and engineering teams can execute against.

You are responsible for competitive intel and defining metrics to demonstrate the success of the product and strategies. You should be growth focused. You will not just iterate on our existing product/service offerings but propose business cases and GTM for expanding our offerings. You do not own the product backlog or ship software directly, you own the “what” and “why,” then work with solutions-side PMs to negotiate the “how” and “when.”

• Define what “success” looks like for your vertical in terms that connect to revenue, retention, and customer outcomes, not just feature delivery
• Embed with 3–5 strategic accounts in your vertical. Not to sell, but to understand their inspection workflows, pain points, and decision‑making structures deeply enough to write requirements they’d recognize as their own
• Run structured discovery across a mix of methods (customer interviews, operational ride‑alongs, competitive analysis, usage data) and synthesize findings into a prioritized problem set for your vertical
• Negotiate with platform PMs over engineering capacity, making the case for your vertical’s priorities with data and customer evidence, not volume
• Write requirements that hold up under engineering scrutiny: specific enough to build from, flexible enough to serve platform‑wide
• Build internal credibility as the person who knows your industry better than anyone else in the building

• A platform‑building role. You will not own a product backlog, write technical specs, or ship software with engineers day‑to‑day. If that’s what you’re looking for, see our Senior Product Manager - Asset Insights posting.
• A pure strategy role, with no customer contact. You will be on calls with enterprise clients regularly. You will travel to sites. You will see the physical infrastructure your product serves.
• A people‑management role. You will coordinate across functions and informally guide others, but you will not have direct reports.

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in a science, technology, or related field, or equivalent work experience
• 8+ years of professional experience, with 5+ years in product management, solutions consulting, technical sales, or a comparable customer‑facing role in enterprise software
• Deep domain expertise in at least one of: solar energy, wind energy, commercial properties, and in particular electric utilities, oil & gas. “Deep” means you can walk onto a customer site and understand what you’re looking at: the assets, the inspection workflows, the regulatory context, and the business model. Candidates without direct industry experience will not be considered.
• You have a track record of building trusted relationships with enterprise customers and converting those relationships into product insight, not just feature requests, but an understanding of underlying needs
• You can run structured discovery and synthesize qualitative and quantitative inputs into a prioritized problem set that other teams can act on
• You have…
