About Veryon

Veryon is the leading global provider of aviation software and information services , trusted by over 5000+ customers, 75,000 maintenance professionals, and 100+ OEMs across nearly 150 countries . Our mission is to deliver smarter, predictive technology solutions , including our AI platform, Veryon AIRE that maximizes aircraft uptime and operational efficiency for the world’s most demanding aviation organizations.

At Veryon , we are an AI-forward company focused on driving innovation and efficiency through emerging technologies. We prioritize hiring individuals who embrace AI, think creatively about its application, and are excited to continuously evolve alongside it.

About the Role

Veryon is seeking a visionary VP of Product Management to lead its AI-product and data-intelligence portfolio. This is an executive-level role at the intersection of aviation domain expertise, data science, and enterprise SaaS product management.

The ideal candidate combines deep technical fluency — including experience building data products, analytics pipelines, and ML/algorithm-driven solutions — with a proven track record of launching and scaling B2B SaaS products – but with a focus on platform enablement. The ideal candidate thinks beyond a specific product, helping set vision and strategy for the entire product portfolio that enables commercial airlines, business aviation operators, and MROs to improve aircraft reliability, improve maintenance efficiency, and reduce troubleshooting times.

Reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer, this leader will help shape the long-term competitive differentiation of the Veryon platform through an AI-first, data-driven product philosophy — and will be a key voice in Veryon's senior leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Executive Product Leadership: Define and execute a multi-year product strategy for the Data Intelligence, Defect Analysis, Predictive Health, and AIRE portfolio, aligned to Veryon’s corporate objectives and PE growth targets.

• Technical Collaboration: Partner deeply and direct engineering, data science, and architecture teams as a technically credible product leader who can engage in system design, API strategy, data modeling, and ML pipeline discussions.
• Customer & Market Insight: Maintain direct relationships with key customers, conduct ongoing discovery, and translate deep domain knowledge of aviation maintenance operations into differentiated product decisions.
• AI & Data Product Development: Drive product development practices specific to data products and AI-augmented features, including data quality standards, model evaluation frameworks, feedback loops, and responsible AI governance.
• Revenue & Commercial Accountability: Provide strong GTM partnership for Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing. Maintain accountability to ARR contribution, bookings targets, and retention metrics for the assigned portfolio. Define and defend pricing and packaging strategies.
• Roadmap & Stakeholder Alignment: Own the long-range roadmap for the portfolio. Communicate strategy, progress, and tradeoffs to executive leadership, the board, and customers with clarity and conviction.
• Platform Strategy: Ensure the Data Intelligence and AIRE layers are architected and positioned as platform capabilities — creating durable competitive moats and enabling partner/ecosystem expansion over time.
• Portfolio Scope – responsible for Veryon Defect Analysis, Guided Troubleshooting, Veryon Data Intelligence, and Veryon AIRE as well as leading our future looking innovation in predictive health across aircraft, rotorcraft, and GSE.

About the Portfolio Scope

• Veryon Defect Analysis – Veryon’s defect tracking, chronic identification, and MEL management capabilities across commercial and business aviation segments, focused on moving operators from discrete defect logging towards connected, intelligent defect pattern recognition at fleet and network level.
