Who you are You're driven by purpose and motivated by work that matters. You're looking for more than a role, you want to be part of a growing, forward‑thinking company solving real‑world challenges to improve how farming works, today and for the future.
Position: Director, Product Management As the Director, Product Management, you will help strengthen and scale our product function as we drive toward our next phase of growth. In close partnership with GTM and Engineering, this role will define and operationalize a clear, economically grounded product strategy — ensuring disciplined prioritization, roadmap clarity, and measurable business impact.
This is a growth‑stage, hands‑on leadership role operating as a player‑coach. You will elevate Product Management standards and craft while building a repeatable product operating model that connects market insight, customer feedback, and data to capital‑efficient investment decisions. You will anchor product strategy in competitive intelligence, regulatory and agronomic shifts, and emerging capabilities, translating external signals into proactive roadmap positioning and scalable platform leverage.
While PMs will work closely with GTM leadership, this role provides functional oversight, product excellence standards, and portfolio‑level direction to ensure product investments drive retention, expansion, contribution margin improvement, and long‑term platform integrity.

Improve prioritization discipline and reduce reactive roadmap churn
Define and track measurable outcomes for major product initiatives
Drive continuous improvement through data, market insight, and customer feedback
Clarify decision‑making rights between Product, GTM, and Engineering (RACI or equivalent)
PM Coaching & Functional Leadership
Provide functional leadership and mentorship to Product Managers
Elevate PM craft across discovery, metrics, stakeholder engagement/management, and execution
Partner with GTM leadership on performance input and development planning
Support hiring and onboarding of future PM talent
Commercial & Cross‑Functional Partnership

Balance short and long‑term commercial needs with platform integrity

Proven experience balancing commercial pressure with product integrity
Growth‑stage company experience strongly preferred
