Requirements
• 10+ years spanning commercial strategy, customer-facing roles, and data or analytics product development — ideally at the intersection of geospatial, alternative data, or enterprise SaaS • Deep familiarity with commercial market data use cases: alternative data for financial services, supply chain analytics, physical economy signals, or adjacent domains where satellite-derived intelligence creates decision advantage • Ability to prototype and pitch AI-enabled concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences — you can build a compelling demo and a compelling business case, and you know which one the room needs • Working knowledge of the geospatial AI landscape: change detection, image classification, time-series analysis over Earth observation data, and the role of embeddings in enabling semantic query across global imagery archives • Track record of building momentum in ambiguous, low-resource environments • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; experience influencing VP and C-suite stakeholders with data-backed narratives • What Makes You Stand Out: • Direct experience building or selling into the alternative data ecosystem — hedge funds, commodity intelligence, physical economy indexing, or supply chain analytics • Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping tools and vibe coding workflows (Cursor, Streamlit, or similar) to build and validate concepts without a full engineering team • Familiarity with Planet's product suite and the Earth observation competitive landscape • Experience operating within or alongside a commercial skunkworks or innovation function inside a data or SaaS company • Application Deadline: • September 11, 2026 by 11:59p PST
