Product Manager (Mining)

About the Role

NTWIST is seeking an analytically minded Product Manager to join our Product team in Edmonton. This role is ideal for a mining professional or industry consultant who wants to apply operational expertise toward shaping the future of mining software.

You will work closely with the Senior Product Manager to define what NTWIST builds and why - translating real customer problems into clear product requirements, supporting go-to-market activities, and helping ensure our products deliver measurable value to mining operations. This is a customer-facing, business-oriented role that sits at the intersection of mining domain knowledge and product strategy. It is not an engineering or R&D position.

Key Responsibilities Customer & Market Intelligence

• Conduct structured discovery interviews with geologists, mine planners, metallurgists, and operations managers to surface unmet needs and validate product direction
• Gather and synthesize user feedback from deployed customers to inform the product roadmap
• Perform competitive analysis of mining software solutions to identify market positioning opportunities
• Contribute to business case development for new product features and initiatives

Requirements & Product Definition

• Translate mining operational needs into clear, structured functional requirements and user stories for the engineering team
• Map and document mining workflows to identify process gaps and product opportunities
• Support feature prioritization in collaboration with the Senior Product Manager
• Participate in UAT to validate that built features meet defined requirements
• Contribute to product documentation and release communications

Go-to-Market & Sales Support

• Support preparation of product positioning materials including presentations, brochures, and case studies for mining audiences
• Assist in demo preparation and delivery alongside the sales team
• Participate in industry conferences, webinars, and trade shows to represent NTWIST
• Support roadmap communication to internal and external stakeholders

Qualifications Education

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mining Engineering, Geology, Mineral Processing, or a related field. Equivalent experience in mining consulting or software implementation will be considered.

2-5 years of relevant analytical work experience in one or more of the following:

• Mining software implementation or customer-facing roles (e.g. Deswik, Hexagon MinePlan, Surpac, Datamine)
• Mining or resources consulting focused on mine planning, operational improvement, or digital transformation (e.g. SRK, AMC, Snowden)
• Business analysis within enterprise software serving the mining industry
• Mine planning, geology, or operations roles with demonstrated interest in technology adoption

Mining Domain Knowledge

• Working knowledge of mining operations across gold, copper, iron ore, or oil sands sectors
• Familiarity with mine planning workflows (life-of-mine vs. short-term scheduling), geology (resource modeling), and mine operations (stockpile management, material flow, site logistics)

Required Skills

Business Analysis: Demonstrated ability to conduct structured interviews, document requirements, and write functional specifications or user stories

Communication:Ability to translate complex mining workflows into clear product language for both technical and non-technical audiences

Process Mapping:Comfortable documenting end-to-end workflows and identifying process gaps

Nice to Have

• Experience presenting to or engaging with senior mining stakeholders
• Exposure to product management methodologies (roadmapping, prioritization frameworks, user story writing)
• Familiarity with project or delivery management tools

Soft Skills

• Structured thinker who can organize ambiguous problems into clear frameworks
• Genuinely curious and customer-oriented
• Comfortable in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve
• Collaborative across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams
