Chief Product Officer (CPO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Product Officer to own global product vision, strategy, portfolio direction, and priorities across multiple markets. The role integrates product, engineering, manufacturing, delivery, commercial teams, customers, and operators, translating operational evidence and technical and commercial constraints into timely product and investment decisions. Responsibilities include balancing shared capabilities with market-specific needs, allocating resources across competing priorities, connecting strategic research and development to product outcomes, and improving visibility into product readiness, dependencies, and lifecycle decisions. The CPO will engage directly with customers and field teams and personally help unblock critical initiatives. Candidates should have executive product leadership experience in defence technology, robotics, autonomous systems, aerospace, advanced hardware, industrial technology, or another integrated hardware-software environment. They should have owned product strategy across multiple products or markets and be able to quickly understand technically complex systems through direct work with engineers, manufacturers, customers, and operators. The role requires strong prioritization, cross-functional leadership, and judgment in balancing technical feasibility, operational needs, manufacturing capacity, and commercial value. A low-ego, accountable approach and comfort working amid urgency, ambiguity, and incomplete information are essential.
