Life with Us

Your Mission

The next generation of geospatial intelligence will not be defined by better dashboards or more imagery—it will be defined by autonomous intelligence production.

Today, organizations are constrained by analyst capacity. Customers can acquire more imagery than ever before, but they cannot generate proportionally more intelligence because every report, alert, and assessment still depends on human analysts.

Site Sentry exists to break that constraint.

As Principal Product Manager for Site Sentry, you will help define and be responsible for executing the strategy for Site Sentry as a key component of Vantor’s agentic geospatial intelligence platform; capable of autonomously detecting activity, generating assessments, producing reports, tasking collection, and delivering actionable intelligence without requiring users to ask for it.

Your mission is to make intelligence production scale independently of analyst hours.

This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, AI, remote sensing, user experience, and autonomous systems. You'll work across engineering, AI research, operations, product design, GTM, and customers to continue to refine what an AI Intelligence Analyst looks like—and then deliver it.

What You'll Do

Own the product vision for autonomous geospatial intelligence

Define and own execution for the long-term strategy for Site Sentry as an agentic intelligence platform, evolving beyond dashboards and workflows toward autonomous intelligence generation.

Drive the roadmap around one guiding objective: Help customers discover what they don't yet know.

Lead the end-to-end product lifecycle from discovery through launch and iteration, including problem definition, product requirements, user stories, success metrics, release planning, roadmap prioritization, and post-launch performance optimization.

Build products that work while customers sleep

Prioritize experiences that continuously generate value and improve mission outcomes without requiring user interaction.

Examples include:

Autonomous report generation

Predictive alerts

Persistent monitoring

Intelligent task creation

Collection recommendations

AI-generated change assessments

Workflow automation

Continuous intelligence delivery

Champion proactive delivery through APIs, enterprise integrations, chat, email, collaboration platforms, and emerging AI-native protocols such as MCP rather than relying exclusively on application-based workflows.

Partner deeply with AI and Engineering

Work alongside AI researchers, ML engineers, software engineering, and operations to define how foundation models, computer vision models, reasoning systems, and orchestration frameworks combine into customer-facing capabilities.

Balance investments across:

object detection

anomaly detection

report generation

multi-modal reasoning

planning agents

retrieval

workflow orchestration

evaluation

user experience

Own product performance—not just features

Define measurable benchmarks that represent customer value and achieve improved mission outcomes.

Partner with AI teams to establish rigorous evaluation frameworks across:

detection quality

report quality

alert precision

reasoning quality

intelligence accuracy

automation rate

analyst time saved

customer trust

Partner with Engineer teams to establish customer and implement methods for tracking user adoption metrics including:

customer product engagement (ADU/WDU/MDU)

workflow completion rates

feature utilization and engagement

value tracking

Help communicate benchmark progress internally and partner with Product Marketing to communicate externally as a competitive differentiator.

Create the "magic moment"

Drive the product toward the moment when Site Sentry autonomously delivers intelligence that surprises the customer. Success isn't simply helping analysts complete existing workflows faster. Success is producing intelligence they would not have discovered themselves.

Lead market strategy

Understand customer missions across defense, intelligence, commercial, energy, infrastructure, humanitarian, and government markets.

Translate customer problems into differentiated AI-native capabilities while continuously monitoring competitive dynamics across geospatial AI, foundation models, autonomous systems, and remote sensing.

Build an AI-native platform

Partner across the organization to define a platform strategy including:

connectors

enterprise integrations

autonomous workflows

reusable Skills

APIs

agent frameworks

partner ecosystem

model orchestration

Help ensure Site Sentry becomes an intelligence platform rather than a standalone application.

Drive company-wide alignment

Serve as the product leader across engineering, AI, sales, marketing, customer success, operations, finance, and executive leadership.

Represent Site Sentry internally and externally while articulating product strategy, AI roadmap, benchmark progress, and customer value.

What Success Looks Like

Within this role, success means:

Intelligence production scales faster than analyst headcount.

Customers increasingly receive intelligence before requesting it.

Analysts spend more time validating high-value findings than searching for them.

Benchmark performance exceeds human analyst baselines for key intelligence tasks.

Customers expand imagery consumption because Site Sentry can autonomously convert additional imagery into actionable intelligence.

Site Sentry becomes recognized as the industry's leading agentic geospatial intelligence platform.

Adoption and sustained use of autonomous intelligence capabilities increase across strategic customer deployments.

Customers consistently trust autonomous intelligence outputs for operational decision-making.

Roadmap investments deliver measurable improvements in customer outcomes, adoption, and mission effectiveness.

Minimum Qualifications

U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident

Experience with computer vision, geospatial AI, remote sensing, or Earth observation products

Experience developing products that combine machine learning with enterprise workflows

Familiarity with benchmark design, AI evaluation methodologies, and model performance measurement

Experience with AI orchestration frameworks, MCP, enterprise integrations, APIs, or automation platforms

Experience leveraging AI and Agentic approaches in real-world products and/or business environments.

Experience building products for defense, intelligence, or national security customers

MBA or advanced technical degree

Active or ability to obtain TS/SCI clearance

The Ideal Candidate

You think beyond features and roadmaps. You think in terms of systems, incentives, and technological inflection points.

You understand that the future of enterprise software is increasingly agentic, where software does work rather than simply helping people do work.

You are comfortable operating at the intersection of product management, AI, user experience, and business strategy, translating advances in foundation models and machine learning into products customers trust for mission-critical decisions.

You are equally comfortable discussing benchmark methodology with AI researchers, product strategy with executives, workflow design with engineers, and operational pain points with intelligence analysts.

Most importantly, you are motivated by building products that fundamentally change how intelligence is produced—not by making existing workflows incrementally more efficient.
