Director of Product Management

Pano AI is a growth-stage hybrid-remote start-up focused on early wildfire detection and intelligence. They are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead a new product initiative that will shape the company's future, requiring a strong product vision and strategy while aligning stakeholders and driving execution.

Responsibilities:

• Define and own the vision for a new product initiative, grounded in customer problems, business priorities, and technical feasibility
• Synthesize inputs from across the company into a clear, actionable product strategy
• Align leadership, including the executive team, around product direction and key decisions
• Translate strategy into execution by defining requirements, sequencing work, and driving delivery with engineering and design
• Identify opportunities to connect and extend existing capabilities into a more cohesive product experience
• Drive toward getting a product into customer hands, iterating quickly based on feedback
• Establish the foundation for how this product and team scale over time, including influencing resourcing and hiring
• Operate as a builder, creating clarity and momentum in an environment with limited structure

Requirements:

• 8–15+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning meaningful product areas and operating at a senior level within complex organizations
• Proven experience building 0→1 products, ideally platforms or systems that connect multiple components into a cohesive experience
• Strong background in platform thinking and data-driven products, including working with integrations, APIs, or multi-system environments
• Demonstrated ability to define product vision from ambiguity and carry it through to execution, not just strategy
• Experience working closely with executive stakeholders, with the ability to synthesize input, drive alignment, and execute against shared direction
• Comfortable operating in high-ambiguity, high-expectation environments, where you are expected to create structure and momentum from scratch
• Strong cross-functional leader who can mobilize teams without direct authority, earning trust quickly across engineering, design, and leadership
• Brings a balance of conviction and collaboration—able to push when needed, but equally strong at listening, adapting, and aligning
• Has seen a similar playbook before and brings a sense of maturity, calm, and pattern recognition to complex product challenges
