## About the role

Mariana Minerals is a software-first, vertically integrated minerals company supplying the minerals critical to modern energy, AI, and defense technologies. Our data systems don't live in a vacuum — they feed process simulators, drive site automation, and are the substrate the business runs its decisions on.

## What they're looking for

- 4–8+ years in technical product management, data platform or analytics product roles, or equivalent experience leading cross-disciplinary technical programs
- Comfortable being the only PM in a highly technical room — you know when to drive a decision, when to defer to engineers, and how to build credibility without being the most technical person there
- Enough depth in data infrastructure and analytics to earn credibility with data engineers, data scientists, and analysts, and to know when a technical answer is a good one
- Working fluency with the current LLM/foundation-model landscape and where agentic approaches genuinely fit versus conventional software
- Track record of bringing structure to ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives: setting direction, aligning stakeholders, and owning outcomes end-to-end
- Hands-on prototyping ability — you can get a PoC built with stakeholders, not just write requirements for one
