The Head of Product - AI will oversee product strategy and market engagement for AI tools in agriculture, ensuring products meet farmer needs and are successful in the market. Responsibilities include defining product direction, maintaining customer relationships, and collaborating with cross-functional teams for effective execution and launch.
About Precision AI
Precision 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.
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 VP 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.
Key Responsibilities
Product Strategy & Prioritization
- Be the central driver of product strategy and roadmap for Precision AI's Artificial Intelligence software offerings for farmers.
- Identify and prioritize high-value customer problems in agriculture where AI can create meaningful value.
- Partner with the CEO, Chief Business Officer, and VP of AI to align product priorities with company strategy, technical feasibility, and go-to-market timing.
- Establish clear product success metrics tied to customer value, adoption, product quality, and business impact.
Customer Insight & Market Engagement
- Stay close to customers through regular farm visits, field travel, and conference participation, using those insights to shape product direction.
- Lead customer discovery and validation to ensure product decisions are grounded in real-world workflows and adoption needs.
- Distinguish between true product opportunities and non-scalable edge cases.
Product Execution & Launch
- Work closely with AI, engineering, design, and business teams to define requirements and priorities
- Drive execution from concept through launch, helping teams make timely decisions and maintain momentum.
- Ensure products are trustworthy, usable, and operationally realistic for customers.
- Lay the groundwork for a future product function while operating as a senior individual contributor from day one.
- 5-15+ years of experience across technical product management or software leadership.
- Experience in agriculture, agtech, agronomy, or other roles with direct exposure to farmers.
- Experience working directly with customers in the field, in operational environments, or in other settings where product understanding comes from first-hand exposure rather than second-hand inputs.
- 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.
What You Bring
- Strong product judgment and the ability to prioritize what matters most in a constrained, ambiguous environment.
- Ability to engage credibly with both technical teams and agricultural customers.
- Comfort using AI in your day-to-day and working on AI-enabled products
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to drive alignment across executives, engineers, and customer-facing teams.
- High ownership, strong follow-through, and a willingness to stay close to the details where needed.
- Ability to move between strategy and execution without losing momentum in either.
- Good instincts around product-market fit, customer value, and what makes software genuinely useful in day-to-day agricultural operations.
- Comfort with regular travel and strong motivation to spend time with customers in the field.
- Sound judgment and a bias toward clarity, accountability, and practical decision-making.
Bonus
- Previous experience as a business founder.
- Engineering degree or a related field of studies.
- Existing familiarity with the North American agriculture ecosystem.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
