Own the digital forensics product end to end, translating ambiguous user and stakeholder needs into prioritized, technically sound capabilities. Guide rapid growth in users and usage, partner closely with engineering and mission teams, work directly with operators and investigators, drive adoption, and maintain reliability and quality at scale. The role requires strong product judgment, technical fluency, decisive prioritization, clear communication, and the ability to operate under security and deployment constraints.

Vannevar builds AI systems for the Department of War's most consequential missions. We have 125 deployments across every branch and combatant command spanning our core platform and five distinct products. An an example of how we work, when major combat operations started with Iran, we fielded a new product supporting 24/7 operations and 9,000+ users in three months.
How we build is our advantage: we deploy forward with the people who own the mission. Our engineers, product team, and CTO deploy forward to the point of friction, including visiting units in Ukraine. We focus on embedding directly with operational units supporting great power competition with China, combat operations with Iran, and counter-narcotics missions.

ABOUT THE ROLE 

We’re hiring a Product Manager for our Digital Forensics team. 

This team builds AI-driven intelligence capabilities that turn large, messy, real-world datasets into clear answers and actions for operators and investigators. The product has strong traction and is entering a period of rapid growth – many more users and far higher volume, fast. We’re hiring the PM who will own it through that scale-up. 

This is not a traditional roadmap role. You will take in incomplete, conflicting inputs from users, customers, stakeholders, and the product itself, and decide what we should build – and what we shouldn’t – as demand accelerates. 

You will work closely with operators, product engineers, forward deployed engineers, and mission colleagues to find high-leverage problems and drive them through a shipped capability. You’ll often need to set aside loud or conflicting inputs and make calls others disagree with. 

This role reports to the CTO and operates at the intersection of mission, product, and engineering. Success is measured by whether we build the right things and those things create real mission impact at scale. 

 

WHAT YOU’LL DO 
  • Own the product direction end-to-end. Turn ambiguous problems into concrete bets and drive them through to shipped capability. 
  • Navigate rapid growth. Guide the product through a steep rise in users and usage, making the tradeoffs to keep it fast, focused, and reliable at scale. 
  • Turn signal into direction. Take messy, often conflicting input from users, stakeholders, and the product itself, decide what actually matters for growth and mission impact, and translate it into clear product direction – including pushing back when the loudest ask isn’t the right one. 
  • Build alignment across Mission and Engineering. Bring people along when Mission and Engineering see a problem differently – disagree when you need to, then get everyone committed on the path forward. 
  • Partner with engineering. Embed with the team, meet them where they work best, and shape solutions that are both impactful and technically sound. 
  • Work directly with users. Build deep intuition for real-world workflows and needs. 
  • Drive adoption and durability. Move users from first use to daily reliance and keep quality high as volume grows. 
WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE 
  • Strong product judgment. You consistently identify the right problems and make sound prioritization decisions. 
  • Product experience through a growth phase. You’ve owned a product through rising users and usage, not just early 0-to-1. 
  • Ability to separate signal from noise. You form independent, defensible opinions from incomplete and conflicting inputs, and can act on them under uncertainty.  
  • Experience operating under real constraints. You’ve shipped products where security, infrastructure, or deployment realities shaped decisions. 
  • High ownership and a 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. 
  • Active TS/SCI clearance (or ability to obtain one) 
  • Willingness to travel onsite 
Nice to have 
  • Experience working with operational, mission-driven, or investigative users 
  • Experience with LLM-based systems 
  • Experience with product analytics (e.g., SQL) 
  • Experience rapidly prototyping ideas (Figma, AI coding tools, etc.) 
  • Experience with digital forensics or investigations 
  • Exposure to constrained or high-security environments 
What we offer
We’re proud to offer competitive benefits that support our employees. Some key highlights of our benefits package include:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 100% remote first culture. You can work from anywhere in the US and all full time employees have WeWork access
