# Product Manager - Mission Agents
**Company:** [Vannevar](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/vannevar)
**Location:** Remote
**Skills:** LLMs, SQL, Figma, Product Analytics, Ai Prototyping, Security Clearance
**Posted:** 2026-04-30
> Defines product direction for mission agent systems that execute user intent through chat, tasking, and persistent workflows in defense AI. Synthesizes conflicting inputs, partners with engineering and users to deliver high-impact capabilities under constraints.
## Job Description
## What you'll do

- Synthesize signal into direction. Take in messy, conflicting inputs and determine what actually matters.
- Define how agents behave. Shape primitives like objectives, constraints, trust tiers, and evaluation criteria.
- Improve output quality. Drive systematic improvements across models, memory, and workflows.
- Own product direction end-to-end. Turn ambiguous problems into concrete bets and drive them through delivery.
- Work directly with users. Build deep intuition for real-world workflows and needs.
- Translate mission signal into product direction. Take in real-world user signal and translate it into clear product direction, including pushing back when needed.
- Partner with engineering. Shape solutions that are both impactful and technically sound.
- Drive alignment in ambiguous situations. Bring clarity across stakeholders when perspectives conflict.

## What you should have

- **Strong product judgment.** You consistently identify the right problems and make sound prioritization decisions.
- **Ability to separate signal from noise.** You form independent, defensible opinions from incomplete and conflicting inputs.
- **Experience with complex systems or platforms.** You've worked on products where behavior emerges from underlying primitives.
- **Experience operating under real constraints.** You've shipped products where security, infrastructure, or deployment realities shaped decisions.
- **High ownership and bias toward action.** You take responsibility for outcomes and push work through to completion.
- **Technical fluency.** You can engage with engineers and understand system constraints and tradeoffs.
- **Clear, direct communication.** You can articulate decisions, tradeoffs, and reasoning in a way others can act on.

## Nice to have

- Experience working with operational or mission-driven users
- Experience with LLM-based systems
- Experience with product analytics (e.g., SQL)
- Experience rapidly prototyping ideas (Figma, AI coding tools, etc.)
- Exposure to constrained or high-security environments
- Active Security clearance (or ability to obtain one) and willingness to travel onsite
