Product Manager – Mission Agents

Business Operations

• Vendor and commercial operations — Vannevar relies on a set of critical vendors — from data providers to enterprise software to mission-critical tools — and how well those relationships work directly affects how well we operate. You’ll own negotiations, renewals, and commercial terms, but the real goal is improving how Vannevar functions: getting vendors to actually perform, reducing friction for our team, unlocking capabilities we’re not fully using, and making sure our contracts give us the flexibility to move fast.
• Recruiting support for senior and specialized roles — Many of Vannevar’s most important hires — Chiefs of Staff, senior mission developers, technical leaders, and others — require someone who understands the business deeply enough to spot extraordinary people, make a compelling case for why this is the right opportunity, and act on behalf of senior leadership in finding and landing them. You’ll work alongside our recruiting team to do exactly that — not as a recruiter, but as a business owner who is hunting for exceptional talent.
• BU embed (~6 months in) — Once you understand the company’s priorities and where you can have the most impact, you’ll be deployed into one of our business units to lead a specific, high-priority project. This is a chance to go deep on a part of the business and drive outcomes that matter directly to our customers and mission.
• Special projects — Some of the most interesting work you’ll do here won’t fit into a neat category. We’re a fast-growing company with a deliberately lean internal team, which means important problems regularly surface that need someone sharp to own them — and that’s where BizOps comes in. That might look like analyzing whether a major strategic investment is worth making, designing the infrastructure for how we track and review company-wide goals, or identifying why a key process is breaking down and building something better. The common thread: real problems that matter to the business, owned end to end.
