About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Be the voice of the customer for an entire industry at Zeitview
You will be Zeitview's resident expert for one of our target verticals -- solar, wind, electric utilities, oil & gas, or commercial properties
You own problem definition: understanding what enterprise customers in your vertical actually need, why they need it, and what it's worth
You run discovery, build client relationships alongside sales, synthesize market signals, and translate all of that into clear, prioritized requirements that our platform product managers and engineering teams can execute against
You are responsible for competitive intel and defining metrics to demonstrate the success of the product and strategies
You should be growth-focused. You will not just iterate on our existing product/service offerings but propose business cases and GTM for expanding our offerings
Define what 'success' looks like for your vertical in terms that connect to revenue, retention, and customer outcomes
Embed with 3-5 strategic accounts in your vertical. Not to sell, but to understand their inspection workflows, pain points, and decision-making structures deeply enough to write requirements they'd recognize as their own
Run structured discovery across a mix of methods (customer interviews, operational ride-alongs, competitive analysis, usage data) and synthesize findings into a prioritized problem set for your vertical
Negotiate with platform PMs over engineering capacity, making the case for your vertical's priorities with data and customer evidence, not volume
Write requirements that hold up under engineering scrutiny: specific enough to build from, flexible enough to serve platform-wide
Build internal credibility as the person who knows your industry better than anyone else in the building

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor's degree (or higher) in a science, technology, or related field, or equivalent work experience
8+ years of professional experience, with 5+ years in product management, solutions consulting, technical sales, or a comparable customer-facing role in enterprise software
Deep domain expertise in at least one of: solar energy, wind energy, commercial properties, and in particular electric utilities, oil & gas. "Deep" means you can walk onto a customer site and understand what you're looking at: the assets, the inspection workflows, the regulatory context, and the business model. Candidates without direct industry experience will not be considered.
You have a track record of building trusted relationships with enterprise customers and converting those relationships into product insight, not just feature requests, but an understanding of underlying needs
You can run structured discovery and synthesize qualitative and quantitative inputs into a prioritized problem set that other teams can act on
You have commercial acumen: you understand how product decisions connect to pipeline, deal size, retention, and competitive positioning in your vertical
Exceptional communication skills. You can present to a customer's VP of Asset Management on Monday and translate that conversation into a product brief for solutions PMs and Engineering on Tuesday
Willingness to travel to customer sites and inspection locations
Strongly preferred: Direct industry experience. You've worked in the industry, not just sold to it
Experience working with operational or service delivery teams (field inspection, drone operations, or similar)
Experience with geospatial data, remote sensing, or asset management platforms
Familiarity with AI/ML-powered products, enough to assess where these capabilities address real vertical problems vs. where they're a distraction
Experience with go-to-market strategy: product launches, positioning, pricing, or vertical-specific marketing
Experience in mobile application development
