Product Manager, Mission Planning

Quindar, Denver, CO +4

The role

We’re looking for a technically minded Product Manager to join our growing team and lead the evolution of Quindar’s Mission Planning capabilities across our Plan and Portal products.

Quindar provides a unified platform to automate and accelerate mission operations. Our customers operate constellations with different missions, architectures, operational constraints, and levels of autonomy. Mission Planning sits at the intersection of those needs: helping operators understand what needs to happen, when it can happen, what constraints apply, and how plans ultimately become operational activities.

The role

We’re looking for a technically minded Product Manager to join our growing team and lead the evolution of Quindar’s Mission Planning capabilities across our Plan and Portal products.

What you will do

Strategy & Vision: Own the roadmap and long-term vision for Mission Planning across Quindar’s Plan and Portal products. Define product requirements, user stories, success metrics, and priorities that align customer needs with Quindar’s broader mission operations strategy.
Execution: Collaborate closely with engineering and design to turn operational problems into intuitive, scalable product capabilities. Participate in technical and architecture discussions and make thoughtful tradeoffs between immediate customer needs, usability, and long-term product health.
User Understanding: Develop deep empathy for mission operators, payload operators, mission planners, and other users by conducting research, shadowing workflows, analyzing operational data, and synthesizing feedback from customer-facing teams.
Automation & Scale: Identify opportunities to move customers from manual planning and coordination toward increasingly automated and constraint-aware workflows. Ensure planning capabilities can scale from individual spacecraft to large fleets and increasingly complex mission architectures.
Planning & Scheduling: Evolve how operators plan spacecraft activities, ground contacts, payload operations, and other mission activities. Develop capabilities that account for operational constraints, resource availability, dependencies, priorities, and changing mission conditions.
Multi-Party Mission Operations: Define workflows that enable mission operators, payload operators, customers, and other stakeholders to coordinate effectively while maintaining appropriate operational boundaries and permissions. Make it easy for users to request activities, understand their status, and maintain situational awareness without requiring direct control of the spacecraft.
Metrics & Iteration: Define and track measures of planning effectiveness, including planning time, scheduling success, operator intervention, request turnaround, utilization, and adoption of automated workflows. Use data and customer feedback to continuously improve the product.
Leadership: Serve as the go-to expert on mission planning workflows, scheduling, payload operations, and the relevant competitive landscape. Develop a strong point of view on how mission planning should evolve as satellite operations become more distributed and autonomous.
Collaboration: Drive alignment across engineering, product management, design, customer success, program teams, and leadership. Clearly communicate priorities, dependencies, and tradeoffs across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
