[Hiring] Staff Product Manager, Machine Learning @Overstory

Role Description

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. 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.

What You'll Do

• Own the roadmap for Vegetation Intelligence, spanning from the ML models that produce our risk data to the products that turn it into customer action.
• Push our detection models further, and help fold their outputs into Overstory’s broader outage and ignition risk models.
• Contribute towards increasing the number of actionable insights: run user research, ground priorities in the operational decisions customers actually make, and make sure what we ship drives real action in the field.
• Shift the roadmap from scaling- and technical-led to customer-driven, without losing the technical rigor that got us here.
• Work closely with data scientists and ML engineers to turn model capability into shipped product value, and define what “good” looks like for a model in production.
• Explore how feedback from customers and end users, like arborists, can improve model performance over time.
• Communicate clearly and often with the broader product and engineering team, so trade-offs, model limits, and priorities stay visible.
• Contribute to Overstory’s broader product strategy so Vegetation Insights supports where the rest of the product is headed.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management experience, with a track record that proves both craft and shipping speed.
• Hands-on experience building and shipping products powered by machine learning models.
• Experience turning a scaling- or technical-led roadmap into a customer-driven one.
• Experience working in a fast-paced startup, comfortable with ambiguity and making calls before everything’s fully defined.
• A track record building B2B products that customers rely on daily.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience leading product strategy and roadmapping, and building consensus across product, engineering, and data science.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience building geospatial products or working with GIS technologies.
• Experience with complex data products, especially data pipelines and platforms.
• Experience building machine learning products for image-based applications.

What we offer

• Competitive, location-specific compensation and benefits.
• Flexible, autonomous and collaborative working environment rooted in trust.
• Home office stipend, coworking and ongoing education budgets.
• A company culture that genuinely embodies each of our core values.
• To be part of truly mission-driven work that reduces wildfires, protects earth’s natural resources and helps solve our climate crisis.
