About The Position

PlaneSense, Inc. is seeking a strategic, market-driven Product Manager to own the product lifecycle, from discovery to delivery, for the internal products that power its fractional aviation business. These tools are critical for operations, scheduling, maintenance, sales, and flight crews, enabling faster operations and better decision-making. The role involves understanding internal user needs, business goals, and cross-functional execution, defining product vision, and building roadmaps to enhance operational efficiency and data flow. The ideal candidate is curious about how people work, thinks beyond obvious solutions, builds relationships across teams, and keeps projects organized. A strong product practice with experience running the full product lifecycle (discovery, definition, delivery, iteration) is essential.

Requirements

• 5+ years applicable experience with managing workflows and lifecycle management
• At least 2+ years in Product Management, ideally including internal tools, operations/efficiency products, or B2B systems
• Demonstrated ability to run effective meetings: setting agendas, managing time, surfacing input from quiet contributors, and keeping groups focused on outcomes.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and cross-functional leadership skills; comfortable working with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Naturally curious, comfortable challenging assumptions, and able to generate creative solutions rather than defaulting to the obvious approach.
• Hands-on working knowledge of the full product management lifecycle, and demonstrated end to end on real products.
• Practical command of modern continuous discovery methods and the judgment to right-size them for the team and the problem.
• Comfortable working in Agile and Scrum environments alongside engineering and design.

Nice To Haves

• Aviation or other operationally complex industry experience is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

• Define and communicate a clear product vision and long-term roadmap for internal tools, aligned with company-wide efficiency and data goals.
• Identify opportunities where better internal systems can reduce friction across scheduling, operations, maintenance, and other business functions.
• Own the full product lifecycle for internal tools and run it as a consistent, repeatable practice rather than case by case.
• Establish lightweight discovery and delivery rituals the team can sustain and adapt them as the portfolio and the organization grow.
• Conduct working sessions with internal stakeholders (ops, crew, sales, finance, maintenance) to understand real workflows, pain points, and data gaps.
• Approach problems with genuine curiosity; dig past the first answer to understand root causes, and bring creative, thoughtful solutions to the table.
• Assess how peer companies and adjacent industries solve similar operational and data challenges.
• Translate findings into clear requirements, user stories, and specifications for engineering and design teams.
• Prioritize a roadmap that balances quick efficiency wins with longer-term data infrastructure investments.
• Partner daily with engineering, design, and internal business stakeholders to ensure smooth delivery and adoption of new tools.
• Run meetings that move work forward: set clear agendas, keep discussions focused and on time, and drive toward decisions rather than open-ended conversation.
• Proactively draw out perspectives from quieter or less vocal stakeholders, not just the loudest voices in the room, to ensure decisions reflect the full picture.
• Keep multiple concurrent workstreams, stakeholders, and deadlines clearly tracked and communicated.
• Maintain organized documentation of decisions, requirements, and feedback so nothing gets lost between meetings.

Benefits

• Establish a strong product practice
• Influence long-term systems strategy
• Contribute to a company known for more than 30 years of operational excellence, customer focus, and continuous innovation.
