We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to turn Haply's technology and market opportunities into focused, successful products.
About Haply
Haply Robotics builds high-performance haptic devices and software that let people interact naturally with digital and physical environments. Our products combine hardware, firmware, software, robotics, simulation, and human-machine interaction across research, industrial applications, 3D interaction, and emerging Physical AI workflows.
About the Role
We are looking for our first dedicated Senior Product Manager to turn Haply's technology and market opportunities into focused, successful products. This is not a role where you inherit a mature product process and manage an existing backlog.
You will work directly with the VP Product & Applications and alongside Engineering, Applications, UX, Sales, Operations, and customers. You will combine customer discovery, product judgment, technical understanding, and commercial thinking to decide what problems are worth solving and drive products from opportunity through delivery and adoption.
What You'll Do
- Own the product lifecycle and evidence-based roadmap for assigned products or product areas, from customer problem through launch, adoption, and iteration.
- Lead structured customer and partner discovery; turn market, user, sales, and product signals into clear product decisions and scalable opportunities.
- Translate company and portfolio strategy into product priorities, requirements, outcomes, and measurable success criteria.
- Partner closely with Engineering and UX throughout development; make pragmatic scope and prioritization decisions when customer, technical, schedule, and business needs conflict.
- Coordinate product readiness and launches across Engineering, Applications, Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Support.
- Help build lightweight product-management practices for roadmaps, feedback, product decisions, metrics, and communication without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
What You'll Own Independently
Within the strategic direction established with the VP Product & Applications, you will independently own customer discovery, opportunity assessment,
roadmap recommendations, product requirements and success metrics, day-to-day product decisions with Engineering, product readiness, launch coordination, and product performance reviews. You are expected to surface trade-offs early and drive recommendations rather than wait for detailed direction.
Your First 3-6 Months
- Develop a deep understanding of Haply's products, technologies, customers, and priority markets, and build strong relationships across Engineering, Applications, Sales, and Operations.
- Conduct at least 15 structured customer or partner discovery conversations and convert the findings into actionable product decisions.
- Ensure 100% of top-priority roadmap initiatives have a defined customer problem, business rationale, owner, success metric, and major dependency identified.
- Take at least one important product initiative from validated problem through a meaningful delivery, launch, or commercial milestone.
Success means Haply is making faster, clearer, more evidence-based product decisions and translating those decisions into customer and business outcomes.
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years of product management experience, preferably with technically complex B2B products.
- Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of meaningful products or product areas, not only backlog or requirements administration.
- Strong customer discovery, product prioritization, roadmap, and requirements skills.
- Experience working closely with engineering teams on products involving software plus hardware, devices, APIs, infrastructure, or other technically complex systems.
- Strong commercial thinking across markets, competition, pricing, value propositions, and business impact.
- Ability to turn ambiguity into clear product problems, decisions,
measurable outcomes, and executable priorities.
- Strong written and verbal communication with technical, commercial, and executive stakeholders.
- Professional working proficiency in English and a self-starter mindset suited to a quick-moving environment.
Education
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in business, management, or a closely related field is required. An additional Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering is a major asset, especially in mechanical, electrical, computer/software, mechatronics, robotics, or systems engineering.
Nice to Have
- Experience in robotics, industrial automation, haptics, simulation, motion control, mechatronics, or Physical AI.
- Experience managing integrated hardware + firmware + software products or developer-facing APIs, SDKs, and platforms.
- Experience with CAD, 3D design, gaming, simulation, or real-time 3D environments.
- Experience taking a technical product from early adoption toward a repeatable enterprise or industrial offering.
- Bilingual French / English and experience in an early-stage or rapidly scaling technology company.
Why Join
- High impact: shape product management at Haply as the first dedicated Product Manager.
- Real technology: work across hardware, firmware, software, robotics, human-machine interaction, and Physical AI.
- Direct customer signal and short feedback loops with the people using, integrating, and buying Haply products.
- Build the product operating model while the company is scaling, rather than inheriting a mature process.
What a Great Candidate Looks Like
You are curious about customers and technology, have a clear point of view, and update it when better evidence appears. You can engage credibly with engineers, customers, and commercial teams without pretending they see the world the same way. When presented with ten opportunities, you help the team understand which two matter most and why the others can wait. You simplify complexity and create alignment without adding process for its own sake.
