About Vantora:
Vantora builds enterprise-grade AI companies alongside Fortune 500 partners to solve their toughest problems. We bring together world-class entrepreneurs, engineers, and operators to turn complex industry challenges into new companies, combining startup speed with the data, infrastructure, and market access of established enterprises. With over $100M in backing from Silversmith Capital Partners, we're building the next generation of AI-native businesses across the physical world.
About the Opportunity:
We’re building a next-generation AI model that will transform how the exploration energy industry operates. This venture, developed in partnership with one of the world’s leading oil and gas companies, will leverage LLMs, machine learning, and domain-specific data to help scientists make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.
As the Principal Product Manager, you’ll lead the charge from concept to launch - turning early hypotheses into a scalable, enterprise-grade SaaS product. You’ll work within our venture studio environment, collaborating closely with engineering, design, data science, and our corporate partner to bring a high-impact product to market.
This is a 0→1 product role for a builder who thrives in ambiguity, can balance customer empathy with commercial instinct, and knows how to translate technical innovation into business value.
What You’ll Do:
- Own the product lifecycle end-to-end — from ideation and market discovery through MVP definition, build, launch, and post-launch iteration.
- Translate business problems into product opportunities using insights from users, data, and the corporate partner’s subject-matter experts.
- Define and validate hypotheses through structured experiments, prototype testing, and close collaboration with engineers and data scientists.
- Prioritize ruthlessly to ensure the team is always focused on the highest-impact problems aligned to venture goals.
- Shape the roadmap and GTM plan in partnership with business, design, and engineering leadership.
- Define metrics for success—customer adoption, ROI impact, and business value—and drive toward them with precision.
- Collaborate directly with the client and venture studio team to align milestones, ensure investor readiness, and prepare the product for spin-out and scaling.
You Should Have:
- 8+ years of product management experience, including 0→1 or early-stage product builds in B2B SaaS, complex ML and LLM-based models..
- Proven ability to translate technical capabilities (AI, ML, data platforms) into clear customer value propositions.
- Experience in or exposure to industrial, energy, or manufacturing verticals—and an interest in solving hard, real-world problems in these domains.
- Strong fluency in product discovery, experimentation, and lean development principles.
- Excellent communicator who can interface with engineers, executives, and enterprise customers alike.
- A bias for action and a passion for building technology that creates measurable business outcomes.
