Product Manager, Programs

Meet Slingshot 

At Slingshot Aerospace, we're on a mission to make space safer and more secure for everyone. Our work directly impacts global security, disaster response, climate monitoring, and the critical infrastructure that connects our world. We're a team of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who believe that the next generation of space operations will be powered by better data and smarter software. We move fast, we're not afraid to fail, and we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere—whether you're in engineering, sales, product, or operations. If you want to work on something that truly matters, with people who care deeply about the impact we're making and help shape the future of an industry that's just getting started, you're in the right place. 

 

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.
