We are looking for a business-savvy and visionary Product Manager for Xcast Sensors to join our growing Vaisala Xweather team in Keilaniemi, Espoo. Xcast Sensors  form the critical hardware foundation of our Xweather solutions, powered with hyperlocal, real-time weather and environmental data (Xcast - Weather forecasting technology). Deployed in diverse settings – from roads and cities to remote energy infrastructure – these sensors are essential to enabling new data-driven business models and driving actionable insights across industries.

Vaisala itself is a global leader in measurement instruments and intelligence helping industries, nations, people, and the planet to thrive. From predicting hurricanes to optimizing renewable energy production, our technology is used where it matters the most – from data centers, windfarms and laboratories to airports, the Arctic and even the surface of Mars. Vaisala is recognized in TIME Magazine’s World’s Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2025 study. Our team of over 2,400 experts and 59 nationalities around the world is committed to taking every measure for the planet. Driven by our shared purpose, curiosity, and pioneering spirit, we stay ahead and make a difference. At Vaisala, you don’t have to fit in to belong.

Why join us?

• Work at the intersection of hardware and software innovation in one of the most mission-driven companies on the planet.
• Take ownership of a core product area with significant opportunity for new business development.
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of scientists, engineers, designers, and commercial experts.
• Be part of a purpose-driven organization committed to sustainability, safety, and resilience in a changing climate.
• Influence strategic direction in a rapidly growing product portfolio within Xweather.

What will you do?

As the Product Manager for Xcast Sensors, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of connected weather sensing. Your mission is to drive the full product lifecycle, from market discovery and business case development to go-to-market and sustained growth. You will act as the bridge between customer needs, technical capabilities, and commercial strategy. We are seeking someone who thrives in ambiguity, embraces customer-centricity, and excels at creating scalable and differentiated products, more of a generalist strategist than a deep technical engineer.

Your key responsibilities will be:

• Own the product strategy, roadmap, and lifecycle for Xcast sensors.
• Own and manage the full lifecycle of Xweather’s HW-as-a-Service delivery.
• Identify and validate new use cases and business opportunities through customer discovery and market research.
• Partner with software product teams to define clear value propositions, pricing models, and business cases for new opportunities.
• Partner with weather forecasting and software product teams to ensure sensor data is tightly integrated and value is unlocked across Xweather solutions.
• Work with customers, sales, and engineering teams to translate real-world needs into scalable product features.
• Drive go-to-market execution, including launch planning and sales enablement, such as training and sales collaterals.
• Monitor product and market health using metrics such as revenue growth, customer satisfaction and sensor field performance.
• Collaborate with external partners and third-party providers to expand the capabilities and reach of the sensor ecosystem.
• Continuously gather feedback and improve the offering based on user needs, environmental shifts, and technological advancements.

What will you bring:

• Strong experience in product management in IoT, SaaS, and/or connected sensing devices.
• Proven ability to develop software product strategies, launch successful offerings, and manage lifecycle across B2B markets.         
• Experience with sensor-based platforms and/or IoT ecosystems.
• Familiarity with telemetry protocols like MQTT or LwM2M.
• Track record in driving new business development or opening new markets.
• Hands-on exposure to environmental or weather data products.
• Strong understanding of agile development and rapid experimentation.
• Strong business acumen and understanding of recurring revenue models, customer segmentation, and pricing strategies.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of going both wide and deep.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with internal stakeholders and external partners.
• Curiosity and empathy, able to identify hidden customer needs and translate them into scalable solutions.
• Master’s Degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field.
