Senior Product Manager-3D Modelling Solutions

Octave is a company that provides mission-critical software empowering organizations across the asset lifecycle. They are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the strategy and roadmap for their 3D Modelling solutions, ensuring the product meets user needs and drives business impact.

Responsibilities:

• Own the vision, strategy, and multi-quarter roadmap for the 3D Modelling product, and align stakeholders around it
• Talk to users constantly - plant, piping, and structural designers, plus the EPCs and owner-operators who buy - to build first-hand understanding of their modelling workflows, deliverables, and pain points
• Deepen the model-based design experience: intelligent 3D components, catalogs and specs, layout and routing, and clash detection and resolution
• Prioritize the generation of downstream deliverables engineers depend on - isometrics, general arrangement drawings, material take-offs, and reports - with accuracy and automation
• Connect 3D modelling to the wider plant lifecycle: consistency with P&ID and schematic data upstream, and reliable handover to construction, as-built models, and digital twins downstream
• Evaluate and prioritize reality-capture workflows (point clouds, laser scanning, and photogrammetry) for brownfield and retrofit projects
• Prioritize ruthlessly across competing opportunities, balancing customer value, business impact, technical effort, and risk - including performance and scale for very large models
• Partner day-to-day with engineering and design to ship high-quality releases, making tradeoff decisions as scope and constraints evolve
• Champion interoperability and open data exchange so models move cleanly across tools and disciplines (e.g., ISO 15926 and common industry formats)
• Define and track the metrics that matter (adoption, retention, engagement, revenue impact) and use them to guide decisions
• Work with marketing, sales, and customer success on positioning, launches, enablement, and feedback loops
• Monitor the competitive and technology landscape in 3D plant design and engineering software, and turn it into a differentiated strategy
• Communicate direction, progress, and reasoning clearly to leadership and cross-functional partners

Requirements:

• 5+ years in product management, including experience owning a product or major area end-to-end
• A track record of shipping software products that solved real user problems and drove measurable outcomes
• Strong technical fluency - comfortable engaging engineers on architecture, data models, and tradeoffs, and able to understand technical products deeply
• Ability to quickly build domain understanding of specialized design workflows and translate them into product decisions
• Excellent judgment on prioritization and scope, with the ability to say no gracefully and defend your reasoning with data and customer insight
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to make complex topics clear for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Demonstrated ability to lead through influence across engineering, design, and go-to-market teams without direct authority
• Experience with 3D CAD, plant design, BIM, or CAE software - ideally 3D plant/piping/structural modelling or adjacent tooling
• Familiarity with process and plant industries (oil & gas, chemicals, power, pharmaceuticals, water/wastewater) and the EPC / owner-operator landscape
• Understanding of model-based design, clash detection, and the generation of isometrics, GAs, and material take-offs
• Exposure to reality capture (point clouds, laser scanning), digital twins, or as-built/handover workflows
• Awareness of interoperability standards and formats for engineering data (e.g., ISO 15926)
• Background in mechanical, piping, structural, process, or a related engineering field
• Experience with usage analytics, experimentation, and quantitative decision-making
