Product Manager

Arondite enables organisations to wield autonomy, data and AI at scale. We equip operators with the foundational software to orchestrate their mix of platforms and capabilities, and then take mission-critical decisions faster than their adversaries.

We exist to ensure the UK and its allies out-think, out-pace and out-adapt those who seek to threaten our values and way of life. Our technology is designed for deployment in the world’s most austere environments, and is relied upon by the world’s most demanding operators. We deploy alongside them, bringing our technical expertise wherever it is needed.

• Taking ultimate responsibility for the success of a major part of Arondite’s product
• Understanding a complex web of users and stakeholders, and synthesising their feedback
• Building a clear, explainable process for prioritising work in the face of B2G uncertainty
• Communicating to and working with Engineering and Design to build powerful, simple features that can be customised to deliver value to a wide set of users
• Championing a culture of technical excellence and clear communications
• Working with Product, Engineering and Deployed teams to anticipate needs and shape the longer-term Product Roadmap for Cobalt
• Ensuring a world class user experience within Arondite’s product

Arondite aims to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and with different perspectives. We therefore don’t expect people to have experience across every area of the requirements. Please apply even if you only partially fulfil the following lists.

• Proven experience owning products, platforms, data models, or core infrastructure surfaces in a world class product.
• Ability to synthesise user, stakeholder and engineering signals into simple, clear units of work
• Ability to create, articulate and adapt a system for prioritising work
• Deep curiosity about defence domain and technology
• Founder/owner mentality, comfort with ambiguity and taking ownership of high-level objectives
• Strong technical depth and systems thinking. You’re comfortable reasoning about schemas, API design, and architectural trade-offs.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills. You collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and articulate a clear vision.
• Willingness to travel to customer sites to understand users

• Experience building leverage and process with Product Ops automations
• Experience in the Defence sector or sectors involving geospatial workflows
• Experience in a world-class product organisation
• Experience founding a company

We require that all candidates have an existing Right to Work in the UK at the time of application.

We believe in working closely with defence customers. As a result, this role will require the individual to hold a clearance or be willing to undergo UK security vetting to Security Check (SC) or above. This normally requires having continuous residency in the UK for at least 5 years.

We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering-driven culture. We therefore believe in making the office a friendly, comfortable and fun place to be, and we try to work from the office where possible. Of course, there are times when it makes sense for you to work from home and that's OK. You may also need to travel to visit customers, depending on your role. But in general you should only apply to join Arondite if you're excited to come into the office and work in person by default.

Generally, our interview process is comprised of the following stages:

1. CV submission with initial questions
2. Introductory Teams call (30-45 mins)
3. In-person interview (1-2 hours)
4. Final interview with one of Arondite’s Founders (30 mins)

• Highly competitive base salary
• Generous equity in EMI share options in a well-funded and growing startup
• 7% employer pension contribution
• Free meals in the office every day
• Private health and dental insurance, with opt-in cover for dependents
• Cycle to work scheme
• Relocation support
• Access to any resources, equipment and training that you need to do your job in a world-class way
