What You’ll Be Launching

We’re looking for a strategic, systems-oriented Senior Product Manager to lead the development of our integrated experiences. This includes impacting the experience of multiple applications that highlight the value of Slingshot's data, AI and hardware solutions.

This PM acts as the connective tissue between growth, pricing, platform, and customer experience, ensuring that the most critical user workflows are clearly defined, competitive in the market, and scalable across customer segments.

You’ll identify what matters most: the right workflows, right customers, and right capabilities, then partner with cross-functional teams to bring those to life in our integrated platform.

We're building a team of sharp, creative people who love solving hard problems. We value curiosity over ego, initiative over waiting for permission, and people who genuinely care about doing great work. Bring your expertise, your fresh ideas, and your drive - we'll bring the rocket fuel.
