Product manager / Product owner for a Swiss AI Startup

About Assaia

Assaia International Ltd. is working on a deep learning-based system that monitors and analyses aircraft turnarounds using incoming video streams. We provide an Artificial Intelligence solution that watches turnarounds in real time to understand what is happening and offers predictive analysis to better manage operations. See details and demos on our website and YouTube channel! 

We were founded in February 2018 and are working on pilot and production deployments at airports across the whole world.

We currently have a working system developed, 3 signed multi-year contracts and more than 40 customers with which we are in post-pilot negotiations. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to convert it into a scalable and stable product. This is where we rely on you!

We are looking for an experienced Product Owner.

• Be able to set up relevant KPIs and work on their growth.

• 6+ years of work experience in IT, out of which at least 3 years in product development.
