As Senior Product Manager for Think Big and Product Innovation, you will be Terawave's designated horizon-three thinker -- responsible for identifying, structuring, and developing the next generation of product opportunities. You will explore emerging use cases, develop business cases for strategic bets, and bring the rigor of a seasoned PM to opportunities that don't yet have a defined roadmap.

· Build relationships with potential design partners, strategic investors, and ecosystem players relevant to new product areas.

· Present innovation proposals to Head of Product and senior leadership for review and funding decisions.

· Partner with Engineering, Corp Dev, and Finance to scope investment requirements and evaluate build/buy/partner paths.

· Monitor competitive landscape and adjacent market developments

· Develop a product innovation framework and process for the Terawave PM team.

· Mentor other PMs

Minimum Qualifications:

· Bachelor's degree in a technical field

· 10+ years of product management, including demonstrated ownership of new product or new business development initiatives.

· Track record of taking a product from concept to funded roadmap item, including business case development and executive sign-off.

· Strong financial modeling skills: market sizing, unit economics, build/buy/partner analysis, and NPV/IRR for capital-intensive programs.

· Excellent research and synthesis skills: ability to turn ambiguous market signals into structured product opportunity documents.

· Demonstrated executive presence: comfort presenting speculative ideas with appropriate rigor and confidence.

· U.S. Person

Desired Qualifications:

· MBA

· Experience in satellite telecommunications, commercial space, defense connectivity, or adjacent deep-tech verticals.
