Terradepth is transforming how organizations collect, manage, analyze, and act on ocean data. Our flagship software platform, Absolute Ocean, is a cloud‑native ocean intelligence platform that brings together complex maritime and geospatial data, automates processing and analysis, and enables customers to make faster, better‑informed decisions. Absolute Ocean Onboard extends these capabilities to the edge, supporting operations in disconnected, bandwidth‑constrained, shipboard, and secure environments.

Terradepth serves Government, defense, intelligence, energy, infrastructure, survey, and other commercial customers operating in the Global maritime domain. We move with Speed, Discipline, and Collaboration. We seek people who are humble enough to learn, confident enough to execute, and committed to measurable results.

Terradepth is seeking an experienced, hands‑on Product Manager to serve as the critical connective tissue between Business Development, Marketing, Engineering, and Executive Leadership. Reporting to the VP, Product & AI, you will run the product roadmap, backlog, and requirements across our cloud SaaS platform (Absolute Ocean), edge‑computing deployments (Absolute Ocean Onboard), and integrated ocean hardware/autonomy capabilities. We are looking for a disciplined product leader who starts from market problems and turns them into actionable, traceable requirements.

You will work side‑by‑side with sales and BD to engage customers, look past immediate surface asks to uncover true underlying needs, and prioritize features that either generate revenue or unlock key new markets. If you thrive in a dynamic, high‑growth startup environment, excel at balancing trade‑offs under resource constraints, and bring formal product management rigor, this role is for you.

• Market Problem Translation & Requirements Definition:
  Engage directly with targeted end users and customers to identify pervasive problems. Translate customer pain points into clear, traceable product requirements, use cases, user stories, rationale, and acceptance criteria while preserving the intuitive UI/UX that sets Absolute Ocean apart.
• Executive & Engineering Alignment:
  Facilitate tight alignment between engineering leadership and product management on milestones, schedules, and technical tradeoffs. Prepare data‑backed trade studies and decision briefs with the VP, based on market trends, customer impact, and company goals.
• Industry Involvement & Customer Engagement:
  Participate alongside BD in industry conferences, customer meetings, and field demonstrations to gather firsthand market accounts. Distinguish essential market signals from noise to continuously refine product strategy.
• Marketing & Operational Coordination:
