Ascentia, part of Collins Aerospace (an RTX business), is a leading analytics platform for commercial aviation. Ascentia applies advanced analytics, physics-based modeling, statistical analysis, and machine learning to aviation data to deliver actionable intelligence that helps airlines improve operational reliability, make smarter maintenance decisions, and reduce costly disruptions.
Ascentia is looking for a Senior Product Manager to drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for our analytics product suite. This is a highly technical, customer-facing role at the intersection of airline operations, aircraft systems engineering, and advanced analytics. The Senior Product Manager will own the evolution of core platform capabilities and help shape how Ascentia continues to deliver value across the connected aviation ecosystem.
You will lead, inspire, and support a Product Management Team (PMT). As a hands-on leader, you will help the team translate deep domain knowledge - how airlines actually run maintenance operations, how dispatch decisions get made, what operational disruptions really cost, and how aircraft systems behave over their lifecycle - into technical, operational, and business requirements that engineering can execute against. You will work closely with engineering, data science, OEM systems experts, and airline customers to prioritize the work that delivers the greatest operational and financial impact.
Regardless of role, we expect excellent interpersonal and communication skills across all hires at Ascentia. We look for candidates who thrive in a high-trust environment - who demonstrate clear communication, embrace open feedback, trust their colleagues, and are driven to execute, deliver, and complete projects independently and efficiently.
