Forward Deployed Product Lead

Joining the Utility Owners Business Unit means you are at the forefront of a mission-critical expansion. You will have a direct impact on how major utilities manage their subsurface risk, preventing catastrophic damage and saving lives. This role offers a unique career trajectory: as a foundational hire, you have the opportunity to grow into owning broader product areas, leading new segments, or shaping our entire AI-product strategy as the business scales.

Over the past several years, 4M built significant business around Departments of Transportation (DOTs) — we now serve 10-12 DOT customers, and we did it deliberately: hire someone close to the customer, learn the workflow cold, and build the product the market actually needed. We're now applying that same intentional playbook to a new frontier: the Utility Owners segment.

This is a hybrid, next-gen role, combining classic Product Management with hands-on AI Building. You'll spend your time close to utility owner customers, absorb their workflows and pain points first-hand, and turn what you learn directly into working software — prototyping with modern AI tools, validating with real customers, then handing proven concepts to engineering to take to production fast. You're the connective tissue between the market and the product, fluent in the language of both the customer and the developer.
