About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager, Aviation to help define and grow Flock’s aviation product portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, embedded software, cloud software, operations, and a rapidly evolving regulatory environment. You will work closely with Engineering, Design, Operations, Legal, GTM, and leadership to turn customer needs, technical constraints, and market opportunities into a clear roadmap and durable product execution. This role is responsible for helping Flock harden and scale an American-made autonomous drone platform at a moment of substantial market and regulatory change. You will develop deep customer and market understanding, drive technical product work with engineering, and own roadmap decisions that balance customer value, regulatory realities, product quality, and speed. In addition to internal product leadership, this role requires strong cross-functional partnership and the ability to lead product conversations across a broad set of stakeholders. Success in this role means building trust with engineers, understanding aviation-specific constraints, and translating complexity into clear priorities and execution.
