The OpportunityWe are seeking a Product Manager to join IMDEX Geosolutions, the digital product team, within our Digital Orebody Knowledge business unit, where you will lead the discovery, definition and delivery of AI-driven data and analytics products.
Geosolutions is a cross-functional team of geoscientists, data scientists and engineers who build and scale AI-driven geoscience data products on IMDEX's platform. You will own several of these products at once, each from problem definition through to production-ready release, defining what to build and why, managing the backlog and driving execution through the Geosolutions product lifecycle.
This position brings together market insight, product thinking and technical coordination, translating commercial opportunities and client needs into clear, prioritised work for the data scientists, software engineers and geoscience specialists who build it.
