Senior Product Manager, Sovereign & Hybrid Deployments

About the role

Planet, a space and data company operating a large constellation of imaging satellites, is expanding its platform to support customers who need dedicated, in-region or on-premises instances. As Senior Product Manager for Sovereign & Hybrid Deployments, you will drive the productization of the platform for isolated, air-gapped and hybrid environments, bridging high-touch enterprise customer delivery and core engineering. The role is full-time and hybrid, with three days per week in the Berlin, Haarlem or Ljubljana office.

Key responsibilities

• Run deep discovery with high-security enterprise and government stakeholders to set clear, defensible product priorities.
• Define a phased customer journey framework covering installation, joint-operations training and transition to fully autonomous operation.
• Translate customer operational and security requirements into technical specifications for Core Infrastructure and Engineering.
• Identify commonalities across clients and define standardized building blocks for safe extension into edge and air-gapped environments.
• Set boundaries between core platform and customization, designing hooks and interfaces for Professional Services and integration partners.

Required profile

• 6+ years of experience in Technical Product Management for enterprise platforms, hybrid cloud deployments or complex infrastructure products.
• Track record productizing cloud-native software for customer-managed infrastructure, enterprise VPCs or air-gapped data centers.
• Ability to work with enterprise or government clients and to distinguish core platform items from Professional Services customizations.
• Detailed attention to mapping operational transitions, training milestones and access handoffs.

Required skills

• Conceptual understanding of hybrid patterns such as AWS Outposts, Azure Stack, Kubernetes-based platforms (e.g. Red Hat OpenShift) or infrastructure automation (e.g. Terraform/Vault).
• Prior experience with European sovereign cloud frameworks, data residency mandates or EU defense/government compliance is a strong advantage.

What we offer

• Expected salary range of EUR 57,700 to 72,100 for Slovenia, with possible discretionary bonuses and/or equity.
• Paid time off, wellness program, home office and phone/internet reimbursement, tuition reimbursement and LinkedIn Learning access.
• Volunteering paid time off.
