Tagup is a defense technology company founded at MIT that is delivering logistics decision advantage with next-generation AI. We’re growing rapidly and are looking for change-makers passionate about delivering innovative technologies to solve the most challenging problems in the world’s highest stakes environments. This is an exciting opportunity to engage in meaningful work that strengthens national security and contributes to the success of U.S. and allied forces. Join us in shaping the future of defense logistics for a safer tomorrow.
We’re hiring a Product Manager to help drive the execution and adoption of Manifest, Tagup’s mission-critical platform for defense logistics. In this role, you will work closely with product leadership, engineering, design, customers, and company leadership to translate complex operational needs into clear product requirements, ship high-impact capabilities, and ensure our software becomes indispensable to the operators and decision-makers who rely on it.
This role is ideal for a high-ownership product builder who is comfortable with ambiguity, technically fluent enough to partner deeply with engineers, and energized by spending time with customers in operational environments.
3+ years of product management, product operations, technical program management, or related experience building and shipping software products.
Experience working on enterprise, data-intensive, operational, or mission-critical software.
Strong product instincts for breaking down ambiguous problems, identifying user needs, sequencing delivery, and balancing customer outcomes with engineering constraints.
Technical fluency: you can reason credibly with engineers about data systems, APIs, integrations, workflows, tradeoffs, and system behavior.
Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn complex information into clear requirements, decisions, and narratives.
Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, design, customer success, sales, leadership, and external stakeholders.
Comfort operating in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment with shifting priorities and incomplete information.
Willingness to engage directly with military or government customers and travel as needed.
Authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.; Tagup is unable to sponsor visas at this time.
If you want to build products that matter, this is a rare opportunity to work on software where the mission is real, the technical depth is non-trivial, and the work is already deployed in environments where better decisions can have immediate impact.
