Product Manager

Company

Orcrist builds the Orcrist Intelligence Platform (OIP), a Kubernetes-based data intelligence system delivered as SaaS or self-hosted/on-prem (including air-gapped deployments). We partner with defense, law-enforcement, and enterprise teams to make complex data actionable—securely and responsibly.

Role

As PM for the OSINT team, you own the product vision and roadmap for OIP's open-source intelligence capabilities: collection connectors, monitoring workflows, entity correlation across OSINT and internal sources, and the analyst-facing interfaces that make OSINT findings actionable and defensible.

You understand OSINT from the analyst's perspective: what a good collection looks like, where provenance breaks down, how investigators pivot from an open-source signal to an investigative lead. You bring that knowledge into every product decision and use it to set a high bar for what the platform delivers.

What you'll do

• Own the OSINT product roadmap end-to-end: collection connectors, monitoring pipelines, provenance and legal compliance, and analyst-facing exploration interfaces to solve the fragmented data problem for open-source inputs specifically.
• Lead discovery with operational users to understand how they use open-source intelligence today across both law enforcement and defense contexts.
• Define and prioritize the collection layer: which sources matter, what data needs to be extracted, how provenance is maintained, and where legal compliance constraints apply.
• Shape the analyst experience for OSINT workflows: how analysts monitor sources, triage incoming signals, correlate OSINT findings with internal datasets, and produce defensible outputs.
• Work across teams to ensure OSINT capabilities integrate cleanly into entity resolution, geospatial analysis, and reporting workflows.
• Define success metrics for OSINT features and track outcomes: collection coverage, signal-to-noise quality, analyst time-to-lead, and provenance completeness.
• Stay close to the OSINT landscape (platforms, techniques, legal developments, and community practices) and bring that context into product decisions.

About You

• Deep familiarity with OSINT as a practitioner or product builder. You understand how analysts actually investigate using open sources, not just how collection tools work in theory.
• 5+ years as a Product Manager in B2B SaaS, ideally in intelligence, security, or data-heavy domains with experience owning a technically complex product area end-to-end.
• Strong on the analyst workflow: you know what good OSINT tooling feels like from the user's side, and you use that instinct to set a high product bar.
• Comfortable with the legal and ethical dimensions of OSINT collection (jurisdiction-specific constraints, terms-of-service boundaries, admissibility of evidence, and data provenance requirements).
• Effective at working across teams: the OSINT capability touches collection, enrichment, exploration, and reporting.
• Data- and metrics-fluent: able to define meaningful quality metrics for collection and analyst outcomes, not just feature delivery.
• Eligible to work in Germany and willing to travel to Berlin and across DACH for workshops and user research.

Nice‑to‑haves

• Hands-on experience with OSINT platforms and tooling and a strong sense of where existing tools fall short for serious investigative work.
• Familiarity with link analysis, entity resolution, or network analysis in an investigative context.
• Experience with geospatial intelligence or incident monitoring workflows (CBRN, situational awareness, threat tracking).
• German language (B1+) and/or experience working directly with law enforcement or defense users in Germany or the DACH region.
• Understanding of how OSINT evidence is handled in German or European legal contexts. 
• Familiarity with air-gapped or on-prem deployment constraints and what they mean for collection architecture.

What We Offer

• Mission-driven impact, remote-first in Germany, Berlin meetups, 30 days vacation, equipment & learning budget.
• Collaborative environment with engineers, legal experts, and forward teams solving real-world challenges.
