Your Mission
The Capture and Processing group is responsible for designing and building our AeroPoint and DirtMate GPS hardware, drone management and geospatial survey processing solutions, and in-field mobile experiences, including DirtMate, to tackle the tough, hands-on challenges our customers face daily.

You will collaborate with other Product Managers, Marketing and wider teams to build journeys across the product and help to launch these in creative and engaging ways to our customers.
The role is ideal for a highly collaborative and technically minded Product Manager who is keen to dive in deep and understand technical concepts around all things geospatial, Propeller’s customers and their industries.
