Head of Product - Agriculture AI / Senior Product Manager in Calgary at Precision AI

About Precision AIPrecision AI is on a mission to transform agriculture with cutting-edge drone technology. Our aerial spraying systems help farmers target weeds with surgical precision, reducing chemical use and increasing yields. We’re a fast-moving, impact-driven team looking for people who want to help build the future of farming.

Role Overview
The Head of Product – Agriculture AI / Senior Product Manager will drive the market research, product strategy, and launch of Precision AI's tools for farmers and agricultural organizations. This role sits at the intersection of customer need, agronomic workflows, AI capabilities, and commercial execution, ensuring that products are not only technically strong, but also valuable, usable, and adoptable in real agricultural settings.
This person will work closely with the Head of AI, Chief Business Officer, and CEO to define what to build, why it matters, and how it creates value for customers and the business. The role requires someone who spends real time with farmers, understands their needs, and turns those insights into products and go-to-market approaches that meet farmers where they are.
In the first phase, this is a senior individual contributor role with significant ownership. This person will build customer relationships, shape product direction, and create strong operating rhythm across customer insight, product development, and launch execution. Over time, the role may grow into team leadership, but early success will come from sound judgment, hands-on execution, and the ability to influence across teams.
This role is based in Precision AI's Calgary headquarters and includes regular travel across North America, with the potential for travel beyond that as the business grows. A meaningful portion of the role should be spent in the field visiting farms, meeting customers in their operating environments, and attending conferences and industry events to stay grounded in customer needs, market dynamics, and emerging opportunities.

• Experience bringing new products or major product capabilities from concept through launch and iteration.
• Experience operating in startup, scale-up, or other fast-moving environments where structure must be built while delivering results.
• Meaningful experience working deeply with engineering, AI, or analytics teams.
