Product Manager, Operational World Model

Vantor • Westminster, CO

4d • $93,000 - $136,400

About The Position

Vantor is evolving the TensorGlobe platform with an Operational World Model: a persistent, high-fidelity representation of the physical world that combines One World Terrain-grade geospatial content, simulation, synthetic sensor modeling, and real-time operational context. The goal is practical: give people and AI a shared environment for training, planning, mission rehearsal, and operations.
As a Product Manager, you will own the product direction for this capability. You will turn customer and mission needs into a focused roadmap, align the product leads and engineering teams that contribute to it, and guide delivery of the first capabilities customers can use. This is an individual contributor role for someone who can operate comfortably across geospatial data, software platforms, simulation, and mission workflows without needing to be the deepest technical expert in every area.

Requirements

• 7+ years of product management or equivalent product leadership experience, including ownership of complex software, data, or platform capabilities from strategy through delivery and adoption.
• Experience in at least one of these areas: geospatial intelligence, defense technology, modeling and simulation, autonomy, digital twins, ISR, robotics, or AI-enabled mission systems.
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous operational or customer problems into product strategy, prioritized roadmaps, requirements, and measurable delivery outcomes.
• Experience leading through influence across Engineering, Business Development or Sales, Program Management, and customer or government stakeholders.
• Technical fluency in modern software platforms, cloud-native architectures, APIs, data models, and data-driven product development; able to engage engineers in meaningful tradeoff discussions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive presentations, customer conversations, and clear product documentation.
• Ability to travel up to approximately 20-30% in support of customers, partners, and industry events.
• Must be a U.S. Person, defined as a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, Asylee, or Refugee.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a SECRET U.S. Government security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with One World Terrain, geospatial production pipelines, 3D visualization, game engines, or modeling and simulation technologies.
• Working knowledge of AI, autonomy, robotics, synthetic sensor modeling, digital engineering, or operational AI workflows.
• Knowledge of interoperability standards and defense simulation ecosystems, including DIS, HLA, OGC standards, or related technologies.
• Experience working with the U.S. Department of Defense, allied or international government organizations, or commercial organizations applying geospatial and operational technologies.
• Experience launching platform capabilities that serve multiple products, markets, or customer segments.

Responsibilities

• Work with the broader Product team to set and communicate the product vision, strategy, and 12-24 month roadmap for the Operational World Model.
• Choose and sequence the highest-value use cases, balancing customer impact, technical feasibility, delivery capacity, and business priorities.
• Define product requirements for terrain and 3D content, dynamic world state, sensor modeling, simulation fidelity, interoperability, and real-time services.
• Align Raptor, Forge, Operational Terrain, and Living Globe product leads around common requirements, shared platform capabilities, and clear ownership boundaries.
• Represent the product with customers, executive leaders, industry partners, government stakeholders, GTM.

Benefits

• Robust 401(k) with company match
• Mental health resources
• Student loan repayment assistance
• Adoption reimbursement
