Summary Generated by Built In
At Factbird, we’re redefining how manufacturing runs. By combining hardware, firmware, cloud, and AI, we turn raw production data into real, measurable impact on factory floors around the world.
We’re building fast, scaling with purpose, and solving problems that matter. Now, we’re looking for a Product Manager who wants to lead our Production Insights application into the future by expanding upon how we create real value on the factory floor.
About the role
This is a high-impact, hands-on product role at the core of Factbird’s growth. As our Product Manager, you’ll set direction, own the roadmap, and drive execution from idea to launch and beyond.
You’ll work closely with cloud development teams, IoT & firmware engineers, and product leaders to connect operations teams with their physical production environment, enabling data driven decision making to drive shop floor improvements. Reporting to the Director of Product, you’ll play a key role in shaping how our platform scales and how our customers succeed.
Key Responsibilities
- Turn strategy into shipped products: Define roadmaps, prioritize ruthlessly, and work closely with engineering teams to ensure we solve the biggest problems our customers are facing.
- Lead across disciplines: Act as the glue between product, firmware, cloud, UX, and business stakeholders - making sure everyone is aligned, focused, and moving fast.
- Identify signals in noise: Clarify customer needs, outline their jobs to be done and translate findings into clear and concise user stories.
- Spearhead continuous discovery: Build and maintain strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders to gather key insights.
- Launch, learn, iterate: Drive product launches, gather customer feedback, and continuously evolve features based on real-world usage.
- Own performance & outcomes: Define and track key performance metrics aligned with product objectives.
About You
You’re a builder. You thrive in scale-up environments where ownership is high, pace is fast, and impact is visible. You’re comfortable making decisions with imperfect information and love turning complexity into clarity. You are curious about technology and are keen to figure out what it enables for people. You want to build products that drive real value, something customers depend on and not just move on to the next shiny thing,
Requirements
- Product management experience: 3+ years in product management, ideally within SaaS, industrial tech, or production-focused products.
- Hands-on experience in manufacturing or industrial environments: You understand production realities, the people on the shop floor and can translate their challenges into scalable digital products.
- A continuous discovery mindset: You talk to customers constantly, map their jobs to be done, and identify commonalities. You're comfortable sitting with ambiguity until the real problem surfaces
- Strong data and analytics instinct: Comfortable working with data and understanding how to turn analysis into concrete actions.
- A natural communicator: You speak the language of engineers, designers, operators, and leadership alike, adapting how you communicate to whoever's in the room.
