VP Product Management

POSITION OVERVIEW 

Speedcast is accelerating its expansion into high-growth markets, and the SIGMA platform sits at the center of that strategy. As Vice President of Product Management for SIGMA, you will serve as the de facto general manager of this business unit — owning full P&L accountability, defining the multi-year product roadmap, and driving end-to-end Go-To-Market execution across existing and emerging verticals. 

This is a rare opportunity for a deeply technical, commercially minded leader to shape the future of a mission-critical platform deployed at the network edge. You will combine strong product instincts with edge compute expertise to evolve SIGMA from a managed connectivity layer into an intelligent, programmable edge ecosystem — unlocking new revenue streams for Speedcast across enterprise, energy, maritime, rail, and emerging markets including India and the Middle East.

Go-To-Market Execution 

• Architect and lead Go-To-Market strategies for each SIGMA vertical, from value proposition definition through sales enablement, pricing, and launch execution 

• Collaborate closely with the Head of Sales, Business Development, and vertical leads to drive pipeline generation and close high-value enterprise deals 

• Develop compelling commercial narratives and competitive differentiation frameworks that equip sales teams to win against both legacy connectivity providers and pure-play edge compute vendors
