    Description

    As our Lead Product Manager for Charting, you'll own the transformation of our chart production pipeline: modernizing a legacy system with an updated automated charting tool. This role will look to create efficiencies for the current user, and also unlock new products from ideation to production. This is a net-new role as we scale the charting organization and take on one of its most consequential transformations. 

    Key Responsibilities: 

    • Own the transformation from our legacy chart production system to a modern, automated charting tool, directly doubling productivity for the ~150 users of the pipeline 
    • Lead customer discovery with charting users to identify real bottlenecks and prioritize the roadmap around them, not assumed ones 
    • Identify and scope new product opportunities the new tooling unlocks  
    • Partner with engineering across the globe to sequence and de-risk the migration 
    • Mentor other product managers as the team scales, raising the bar for product craft across the group 
    • Apply hands-on AI experience to find where AI genuinely improves the charting workflow, grounded in what you've built rather than trend-chasing 

    Basic Qualifications: 

    • 8+ years of product management experience, including leading a major platform or system migration end to end 
    • Demonstrated, hands-on experience building with AI as reflected by being able to speak concretely about what you built and how, not just that you used it 
    • Proven customer discovery skills; ability to identify a customer's actual problem, not just their stated request 
    • Experience partnering with distributed, global engineering teams 

    Preferred Qualifications: 

    • Aviation background, particularly as a pilot who has used Jeppesen charts (strongly preferred) 
    • Experience at an airline or in the military, particularly with a technology background
