Staff Product Manager, AI

The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time—but it’s also the greatest opportunity for innovation, and a challenge we’re proud to take on. At Overstory, we’re harnessing cutting-edge technology to enable a resilient electrical grid that keeps communities thriving as our world changes. The grid is the backbone of life as we know it. It powers hospitals, keeps food fresh, and ensures communities stay connected. But extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and growing wildfire risks are putting this critical system under pressure. All of this combined makes the electric utility industry the greatest opportunity for tackling climate change. One of the leading causes of catastrophic wildfires and power outages? Trees and brush coming into contact with power lines. That’s where we help. At Overstory, we use AI and advanced satellite imagery to pinpoint and prioritize vegetation risks before they materialize. By giving utilities critical analysis on those risks, we’re helping prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and accelerate the transition to a safer, more resilient grid. Our team spans the Americas and Europe, and we work with utility partners across the Americas and beyond. We’re outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, artists, athletes, parents, and adventurers. What unites us is a passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to climate action, and the belief that technology should be a force for good. Join us to help us build a more resilient world together. Role & Team At Overstory, we're scaling a product that helps utilities prevent wildfires and keep the lights on, and we're shaping the next generation of AI-native experiences that will define where our product goes next. We're looking for a Staff Product Manager, AI to lead this important 0-1 work and drive this evolution forward. Reporting to the Director of Product, this individual will be the founding product partner for a small team of engineers and designers, working hand-in-hand with our customer on the ground in the US. They will own the problem end-to-end, from first interviews, to early prototypes, to the first version of a product utilities pay for and rely on. This is a great opportunity for someone who is both a thinker and a doer: someone who cares deeply about the craft of product, who likes shipping fast as the best way to learn, and who is energized by getting AI into customers' hands and learning what actually creates value. Time Zone Requirement: United States & Canada (NST, AST, EST & CST). Some travel to customer sites required. Comfortable maintaining 3-4 hours of overlap European working hours for collaboration with the broader Overstory team. What You'll Do Lead 0-to-1 product development for a new AI-native grid resilience product, from earliest problem framing through to first version shipped and used by customers. Decide what to build (and just as importantly, what not to) by combining customer discovery, AI feasibility, and Overstory's broader vision. Design and ship agentic, AI-native workflows in tight loops with engineering and design, favoring prototypes, evaluations, and live customer reactions over long specs. Define the success metrics for this new area, set what "good" looks like, and hold the team honest as we iterate. Communicate clearly and frequently with the broader Overstory team, making the bets visible, the learnings shareable, and the trade-offs explicit. Contribute to the broader product strategy at Overstory as we figure out how this new area connects to, and reinforces, the core product Skills & Experience 8+ years of product management experience, with a track record that proves both craft and shipping velocity 0-to-1 experience, at a startup, or spinning up a new product line or business unit inside a larger company. AI-native solution design: you think agentic-first, combining models, tools, retrieval, and workflows into coherent systems (not "LLM as a feature"). Hands-on experience shipping agentic AI products
