Senior Product Manager, Fisheries / IUUF

About the role

Kpler, which provides intelligence on commodities, energy and maritime trade, is looking for a Senior Product Manager, Fisheries. You will own the Fisheries product end to end, from strategy and roadmap through first release and go-to-market, working closely with the Lead Product Manager – Maritime & Logistics. The goal is to build a new product combining vessel, ownership, port and trade-flow data to address seafood supply chain transparency and IUU fishing.

The initial focus is live fleet monitoring and catch and yield reporting, so that procurement and compliance teams can monitor vessels, understand fishing activity and support due diligence and traceability. The role suits an experienced product leader comfortable in an ambiguous, early-stage environment.

Key responsibilities

• Own the product strategy, vision and roadmap, balancing customer value, commercial opportunity, technical feasibility and time to market.
• Lead the first release, focused on live fleet monitoring and then catch and yield reporting.
• Run market and customer discovery with buyers, retailers, processors, certification bodies, regulators, RFMO stakeholders and NGOs.
• Define the product proposition and customer experience, and set up vessel identity, dark-behaviour and catch-estimation methodologies.
• Own positioning and competitive strategy, and lead go-to-market with Sales and Product Marketing.
• Build strategic partnerships across the seafood supply chain and act as the link between Product, Engineering, Data, Sales and Marketing.
• Track performance, feedback and risks, and refine the roadmap accordingly.

Required profile

• 5-7 years of product management or senior commercial experience, ideally in maritime data, seafood supply chains or a related B2B data/SaaS environment.
• Proven track record of owning products end-to-end, from strategy and customer discovery to launch and adoption.
• Strong commercial and go-to-market experience, including positioning, packaging, pricing input and launch planning.
• Nice to have: direct experience in fisheries or seafood (procurement, traceability, certification), experience launching a new product line, a network of seafood buyers, certification bodies, regulators or NGOs, and knowledge of IUU, US SIMP or EU carding regulations.

Required skills

• Fisheries data landscape: vessel tracking, IUU risk, catch documentation, supply chain traceability.
• Data and analytical literacy, including AIS, vessel identity, geospatial analysis, ownership and flows.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication with senior external stakeholders.
