Product Manager

Job Description
Principal, Product Manager - Houston USA
Department: Product
Reporting to: Head of Product
Our Company:
At Abyss, our mission is to create innovative AI and
robotics solutions, removing the need to put people
at risk in dangerous jobs. From deep-sea rovers to
our recent Moon to Mars Australian Government
grant, and emerging technology in Agriculture, there
is no challenge that Abyss will shy away from. A
global team collaborating across Australia, America
and Pakistan consist of passionate problem solvers
who love working on cutting edge technology while
maintaining focus on environmental impact, safety,
and cost.
Position Summary
As the Principal Product Manager at Abyss
Solutions, you own outcomes across a product line.
That means you’re accountable for what we build
and whether it wins in-market—adoption,
retention, customer value, and commercial results.
You lead major cross-functional initiatives
end-to-end: frame the problem, validate the
approach, ship the right thing, and prove it worked
with measurable results. You set domain strategy
and the roadmap, get stakeholders aligned on

priorities and tradeoffs, and keep teams moving
through ambiguity without losing quality.
You’re also the person making sure the product is
sellable and supportable. You own the commercial
thinking (packaging and pricing inputs, value
narrative, rollout/upgrade paths) and the practical
stuff that makes the product successful—collateral,
demos, sales enablement, launch readiness, and
feedback loops. You bring strong domain expertise,
lift decision quality and standards, and help the
broader PM team level up through reviews,
coaching, and repeatable ways of working
Key responsibilities
● Product line outcomes: Own adoption, retention,
customer impact, reliability, and commercial
performance for your product line. Define KPIs,
track them, and drive decisions that move them.
● Domain strategy & roadmap: Set the strategy
and roadmap for your domain. Align leaders and
teams on priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs.
Keep the roadmap grounded in customer value,
feasibility, risk, and time-to-impact.
● Lead big initiatives end-to-end: Run major
initiatives across teams from discovery through
delivery, launch, and iteration. Keep problem
statements crisp, scope clear, and momentum
high. Unblock teams and make the hard calls
when needed.
● Commercials (packaging/pricing inputs): Partner
with Finance, Sales, and Product leadership on
packaging and pricing inputs, commercial
models, and rollout/upgrade paths. Make
assumptions explicit and ensure the roadmap
supports the commercial plan.
● Collateral & enablement: Own (or ensure
ownership of) the assets required to sell and

deliver the product: messaging, one-pagers,
pitch narrative, demos, case studies,
competitive context, release notes, training, and
launch plans. Make sure Sales/Solutions are set
up to win and that learnings flow back into the
roadmap.
● Standards & mentoring: Act as the domain
SME. Raise the bar on decision quality with
standards, frameworks, and good product
judgement. Mentor other PMs through reviews
and coaching, and scale best practices across
the org.
● Cross-team & external collaboration: Work
closely with Engineering, Design, Data, Sales,
Marketing, Solutions, Ops, and external
SMEs/regulators to deliver outcomes and
maintain Abyss’s leadership in AI and robotics
globally.
Requirements:
● 7 years of product management (or
equivalent) experience, including leading
complex cross-functional initiatives in a B2B
or global tech environment.
● Track record of driving product strategy,
roadmaps, and measurable outcomes.
● Strong commercial judgement and comfort
owning GTM readiness (enablement,
collateral, positioning) alongside delivery.
Preferred Qualifications:
● Advanced degree in Business, Engineering,
or related field.
● Experience in AI, robotics, autonomy, or
regulated/industrial technology.
