Senior Product Manager, Machine Learning & AI

The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time—but it’s also the greatest opportunity for innovation, and a challenge we’re proud to take on. At Overstory, we’re harnessing cutting-edge technology to enable a resilient electrical grid that keeps communities thriving as our world changes.

The grid is the backbone of life as we know it. It powers hospitals, keeps food fresh, and ensures communities stay connected. But extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and growing wildfire risks are putting this critical system under pressure. All of this combined makes the electric utility industry the greatest opportunity for tackling climate change. 

One of the leading causes of catastrophic wildfires and power outages? Trees and brush coming into contact with power lines. 

That’s where we help. At Overstory, we use AI and advanced satellite imagery to pinpoint and prioritize vegetation risks before they materialize. By giving utilities critical analysis on those risks, we’re helping prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and accelerate the transition to a safer, more resilient grid.

Our team spans the Americas and Europe, and we work with utility partners across the Americas and beyond. We’re outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, artists, athletes, parents, and adventurers—15 nationalities strong and growing. What unites us is a passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to climate action, and the belief that technology should be a force for good.

Join us to help us build a more resilient world together.

About the role

As a Senior Product Manager at Overstory you will be leading two teams, working closely with designers, engineers and data scientists to build the Overstory data foundations product. This role will support our vegetation modelling and data ingestion domains as we seek to improve our underlying models and expand the number of data sources we can reliably turn into vegetation intelligence.

Your job will be to lead the product development process, defining customer problems to be solved, building consensus around the best way to solve them and meet our business objectives. You’ll work in an agile manner, learning from our customers, iterating quickly, and deciding when to build for a scalable future and when to hack it together. The role will encompass all hands-on PM work such as writing problem statements, balancing product discovery with shipping fast and deciding on success metrics. It will also include defining team roadmaps, contributing to product strategy and supporting internal teams during the delivery process. 

About you / What a successful candidate looks like

You’re comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with working at an early-stage startup and you don’t need to have everything well defined before you act. You can think both short- and long-term so that you can meet near-term deadlines while iterating toward a future vision. You’re able to zoom out and think strategically, while also being extremely detail-oriented in the hands-on work of building a product. You understand that effective communication is an important part of strong product management, so you present your work clearly and frequently to teammates and customers. You have a passion for the urgency of solving our climate crisis.
