Senior Product Manager

Applied Computing was founded in 2024 to build Orbital, a physics-informed foundation model for energyoperations. We’re live across oil and gas and petrochemicals, working towards our mission: sustainable abundancefor a growing planet. The hydrocarbon industry keeps the world running. But its complexity has left operators tied to legacy systems,making critical decisions on less than 10% of available data. We built Orbital to change that. It’s a foundation modelbuilt specifically for energy that lets companies use AI at scale, harnessing all of their operational data and optimising in real time for any metric. Decisions get faster, operations get safer, and carbon intensity falls. We’ve raised over $32 million, including one of the largest seed rounds for an AI company in the UK. We’re justgetting started. The Role Product Manager’s are responsible for product adoption, usage and value-generation. This means deeply understanding users and their technical requirements and owning delivery for a core area of Orbital. This is a customer- and domain-led role: you’ll spend real time with operators in petrochemicals to understand how decisions actually get made today, and translate that understanding into product capabilities and features that change how their plant is run. This is a product delivery role. You’ll work closely with AI researchers, ML engineers, full stack engineers, project managers and account managers to invent new capabilities that change how the energy industry is run. What You’ll Own • Deep understanding of users, their problems, what matters to them and how they make decisions • Product strategy and roadmap for your area of Orbital • Strong working knowledge of downstream operations and the workflows Orbital needs to fit into • Prioritisation decisions, balancing customer feedback against hypotheses of what will best drive impact • Requirements, specs, and acceptance criteria • Ongoing iteration and testing with engineering and research colleagues • Close relationships and feedback loops with customers and users • Product, usage and utilisation analytics Must-Have Qualifications • 5+ years as a Product Manager, ideally in enterprise B2B SaaS or deep-tech • Experience with physics, chemistry, heavy industry, manufacturing or AI, UI/UX and workflows • Direct experience in Oil & Gas or Energy, ideally downstream (refining, petrochemicals) • A track record of inventing tech products • Comfort operating with ambiguity, incomplete data, and evolving customer needs • Clear, structured written and verbal communication — able to represent customer needs to a technical audienceand technical trade-offs back to customers Nice to Haves (You’ll Learn) • Experience building AI products – where the product is powered by in-house trained models • Experience building agentic workflows and agentic product experiences • Exposure to enterprise delivery environments • Experience with process control, operations, or…
