Product Lead - Cities & Critical Infrastructures

About Orasio

Orasio builds sovereign video intelligence solutions for the physical world. Our AI models turn video streams into actionable intelligence, detecting situations, people, vehicles, objects and patterns of interest, in real time or after the fact.

Our products are deployed across Europe with public authorities, law enforcement, defense organizations, cities and critical infrastructure operators. They integrate with existing cameras and video management systems, and are built for demanding operational environments while strictly respecting European legal, privacy and security frameworks.

As artificial intelligence becomes a key pillar of European technological sovereignty, Orasio's mission is to become Europe's leading video intelligence company.

The Role

We're looking for a Product Lead to:

Own our Cities & Critical Infrastructure vertical end to end, from strategy to execution.

Make Citadel the platform every European city and critical infrastructure operator relies on for video intelligence.

Turn the complexity of large deployments (hundreds to thousands of cameras, multiple VMS providers, real-time alerts, forensic investigations, strict regulation) into a simple product and a scalable business.

This is not a traditional Product Manager role. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will run the vertical like your own business: understand the market, choose the problems that matter, set priorities, work directly with customers and users in the field, and drive execution with Engineering and AI teams.

Our ambition is continental from the start: Citadel deployed in every city, transport network, energy site, airport and port in Europe. Your job is to get us there.

Responsibilities

Vertical Ownership:

Define the path to European coverage: which countries, segments and use cases to win first, and how to expand from there

Set the strategy, goals and success metrics for Cities & Critical Infrastructure

Decide where Orasio should invest and which user segments and problems create the most value

Make explicit trade-offs, prioritize ruthlessly, and take responsibility for outcomes across teams

Identify opportunities proactively rather than waiting for requests

Product Management:

Spend significant time with operators, investigators, security teams, infrastructure managers and decision-makers to understand how they actually work

Solve the highest-value problems rather than implementing customer-specific requests

Translate complex operational needs into clear requirements and intuitive workflows

Work closely with Design, Engineering, Machine Learning, Platform, Sales and Deployment teams, and be comfortable discussing architecture, APIs, CV pipelines, VMS integrations, latency and GPU capacity

Build for scale: multi-camera investigations, real-time alerting, search, ingestion, mapping, permissions and auditability, turning lessons from individual deployments into reusable capabilities

Treat reliability and performance as product features

Outcomes & Compliance:

Measure adoption, user satisfaction, investigation time saved, alert quality and system performance

Keep iterating until the expected outcome is achieved, not just until the feature ships

Build security, privacy, auditability, GDPR and the EU AI Act into every product decision

Work with senior public-sector and enterprise stakeholders while staying close to end users

Ideal Profile

5+ years of experience in demanding technology environments, including:

Significant experience owning a product, company or major product area end to end

A track record of creating structure from ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information

Strong product judgment and the ability to explain clearly why something should or shouldn't be built

Strong technical understanding and the ability to work directly with engineers and ML teams

Experience launching products and iterating quickly based on real user feedback

Fluency in English and French

Willingness to travel regularly to customers across Europe.

Eligibility for the required security clearances, including NATO levels.

Bonus: entrepreneurial experience, zero-to-one product building, AI/computer vision, hardware/edge computing, or experience in cities, transport, energy, public safety, or defense

What We Offer

At Orasio, you'll help define how AI is used to understand and protect the physical world. We offer:

Direct access to some of Europe's most demanding users, in operational environments

Frontier technology combining computer vision, generative AI, video infrastructure and edge computing

A Paris-based office, working closely with the core Product, AI and Engineering teams

Stock options to share in the long-term value you help create

International exposure with customers and partners across Europe
