Product Manager - Command & Control / GUI

We are looking for a Product Manager to own the Command and Control (C2) and GUI across Rekise's platforms, the system through which operators monitor, navigate, and command our autonomous vessels. The C2 product is an evolving, greenfield system, so you will help shape it from an early stage rather than inherit a mature product. This is a dual role spanning product ownership and technical program management, weighted towards product. You will work with a cross-functional, fully contained team of 5-10 for design, frontend, and backend engineering. In this role, you will: Own the C2 product end-to-end requirements, specifications, user flows, and user experience. Run the technical program management for C2 supported and guided by our Program Management Office. Work closely with our design, engineering, robotics, and operations teams to turn complex operational needs into a clear, well-defined, and intuitive product.
Responsibilities:
Own the product vision and roadmap for the C2 GUI system across Rekise's platforms, ensuring a consistent and high-quality user experience.
Own the end-to-end design of the C2 including elements such as the user GUI, user workflows, role-based access, and permission models.
Define and document product requirements (PRDs), specifications, user flows, and acceptance criteria, translating operational needs from the user into clear deliverables for the engineering team.
Engage intended users through interviews/interactions, translating findings into product requirements and UX decisions.
Direct and guide the design and frontend teams working closely with designers and the full-stack engineering team to take features from concept to delivery.
Drive UX and product decisions grounded in how operators actually monitor, navigate, and command autonomous vessels.
Run the technical program management for C2 planning, sequencing, tracking, and unblocking delivery in close coordination with and under the guidance of the Program Management Office.
Manage cross-functional dependencies across product, design, engineering, robotics, and operations to keep the roadmap on schedule.
Maintain clear visibility of progress, risks, and open points, and communicate status to leadership.
Requirements:
3-5 years of product management experience, preferably with GUIs for products.
Demonstrated ability to write clear PRDs, specifications, and user flows and to think product problems through end-to-end.
Experience working closely with design and engineering teams to ship user-facing software.
Strong grasp of UI/UX principles, with the ability to direct design without necessarily executing it hands-on.
Experience with, or a strong understanding of, the design of user-facing systems, including aspects such as user access and permissions.
Sufficient technical fluency to engage credibly with front-end and software development teams.
Ability to run technical program management planning, tracking, and unblocking delivery across teams.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
Preferred Experience:
Background in deep tech, robotics, defense, maritime, or hardware-software products.
Exposure to real-time systems, telemetry, or operator-facing control interfaces.
