Role Description

We are seeking a Lead Product Manager to define and lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution of the Farmer Insights Platform, a portfolio of products and capabilities designed to help farmers make better decisions through trusted, data-driven insights. This role is part of a newly formed team focused on building the future of decision intelligence in agriculture.

  • The platform combines the creation of a discovery platform that will help farmers optimize their operations, from planning through execution.
  • These capabilities create a closed-loop intelligence system that generates insights, measures outcomes, quantifies economic value, and continuously improves over time.
  • This role sits at the intersection of product management, customer discovery, artificial intelligence, agronomy, data science, and software development.
  • Success requires balancing innovation with trust, speed with rigor, and experimentation with scalable execution.

Your Responsibilities

  • Product Strategy & Vision:
    • Define and drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Farmer Insights Platform.
    • Establish a long-term product strategy that transforms agricultural data into trusted, evidence-based recommendations.
    • Identify opportunities to create customer value through data, analytics, machine learning, and AI-driven insights.
    • Drive product decisions that scale across multiple crops, geographies, farming practices, and customer segments.
  • Product Development & Execution:
    • Lead the development and growth of the insights platform from concept through launch and ongoing iteration.
    • Define how insights are generated, prioritized, presented, measured, and improved over time.
    • Partner closely with Engineering, Machine Learning, Data Science, Design, and Agronomy teams to deliver high-impact customer experiences.
    • Translate ambiguous customer problems into clear product requirements and execution plans.
    • Balance short-term delivery objectives with long-term platform investments.
  • Customer Discovery & Validation:
    • Engage directly with farmers, dealers, agronomists, and industry stakeholders to understand customer needs, workflows, and challenges.
    • Lead customer discovery efforts to validate product opportunities and assumptions.
    • Develop a deep understanding of customer decision-making processes and economic outcomes.
    • Use customer insights and product analytics to continuously improve product direction and prioritization.
  • Platform & Ecosystem Leadership:
    • Define how successful product innovations transition from experimentation into scalable platform capabilities.
    • Partner with Operations Center teams to integrate validated insights into existing customer workflows.
    • Drive alignment across multiple teams and stakeholders to ensure successful adoption and scaling.
    • Establish frameworks for measuring customer impact, product adoption, and business value.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership:
    • Influence and align stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Data Science, Agronomy, Design, and Business leadership.
    • Facilitate strategic discussions and trade-off decisions across competing priorities.
    • Communicate product vision, roadmap, risks, and outcomes clearly to executive leadership and cross-functional teams.
    • Foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and customer-centric decision-making.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of Product Management experience with increasing levels of ownership and responsibility.
  • Proven experience building and launching complex software products from concept to production.
  • Experience leading product strategy and execution for data-intensive, AI-driven, analytics, or platform products.
  • Strong customer discovery and product validation experience.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • Experience partnering closely with Engineering, Design, Data Science, and business stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decision-making.
  • Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and influencing skills.
  • Ability to lead complex cross-functional initiatives across multiple teams and organizations.

Technical & Product Skills

  • Experience working with data platforms, analytics products, machine learning systems, or AI-enabled products.
  • Familiarity with experimentation frameworks, product analytics, and outcome measurement.
  • Ability to translate technical concepts into customer value and business outcomes.

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Experience building AI- or machine learning-powered products.
  • Experience creating products in agriculture, industrial technology, robotics, autonomy, geospatial technologies, or adjacent industries.
  • Experience launching net-new products or platforms from the ground up.
  • Familiarity with agronomy, agricultural operations, precision agriculture, or farm management workflows.
  • Experience working with large-scale data platforms and decision-support systems.
  • Experience measuring customer outcomes and economic impact through product analytics.
  • Experience scaling products from early experimentation into broadly adopted platforms.
  • MBA or advanced degree in a technical, business, agricultural, or related field.

Education

What Make This Role Unique

  • Create measurable customer impact by helping farmers make better decisions and achieve stronger economic outcomes.
