What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lead Product Manager, Charts position at Jeppesen ForeFlight?
As our Lead Product Manager for Charting, you'll own the transformation of our chart production pipeline: modernizing a legacy system with an updated automated charting tool. This role will look to create efficiencies for the current user, and also unlock new products from ideation to production. This is a net-new role as we scale the charting organization and take on one of its most consequential transformations.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the transformation from our legacy chart production system to a modern, automated charting tool, directly doubling productivity for the ~150 users of the pipeline
- Lead customer discovery with charting users to identify real bottlenecks and prioritize the roadmap around them, not assumed ones
- Identify and scope new product opportunities the new tooling unlocks
- Partner with engineering across the globe to sequence and de-risk the migration
- Mentor other product managers as the team scales, raising the bar for product craft across the group
- Apply hands-on AI experience to find where AI genuinely improves the charting workflow, grounded in what you've built rather than trend-chasing
Basic Qualifications:
- 8 years of product management experience, including leading a major platform or system migration end to end
- Demonstrated, hands-on experience building with AI as reflected by being able to speak concretely about what you built and how, not just that you used it
- Proven customer discovery skills; ability to identify a customer's actual problem, not just their stated request
- Experience partnering with distributed, global engineering teams
Preferred Qualifications:
- Aviation background, particularly as a pilot who has used Jeppesen charts (strongly preferred)
- Experience at an airline or in the military, particularly with a technology background
