Product Manager

AMP Robotics is looking for a Product Manager for our Core Technology business vertical. As the sole Product Manager within this group, you will be responsible for working across the company and the market to justify and help guide AMP's strategy for new technology development, as it relates to our core robotics and data products.

AMP is a highly collaborative R&D organization, operating in a unique domain, and this role is expected to work closely with engineering and operations to iteratively develop products, balancing feasibility with impact. In this role, you will build a common understanding of the market and customer, and work diligently to help the entire organization internalize who we're building for, and what outcomes we must achieve. We're looking for someone who can be customer-obsessed, thrive in ambiguity, and comfortably collaborate to blend what is most achievable with what is most desirable. A successful hire will influence without authority, establish shared context for the company, and be a diligent steward of the product, helping drive teams to weigh tradeoffs, lead others to effective decisions, and stay agile in pursuit of the most effective outcomes for the waste management industry. This unique role can have an outsized impact in changing how society handles its waste, and create significant climate and ecological impact on an international scale.
