You can show artefacts, not just frameworks. * Excellent written communication - clear writing reflects clear thinking, and you will write constantly. * Fluent in English. Nice to have * Experience delivering quantum, HPC, AI/ML, or advanced-computing applications to enterprise customers. * Domain expertise in an optimization-heavy vertical (finance, energy, logistics, mobility, manufacturing). * Experience with consultative, low-TRL customer engagements. * French language skills. * Experience in international and multicultural environments. ## Description As Product Manager for Quantum Applications, you own the product direction for how Pasqal turns hard optimization problems into quantum applications that deliver measurable value to customers. You sit at the interface between Customers, our Commercial organization, and the Applications' development teams, working backwards from real customer problems to define what we build, for whom, and when. You are the person who makes sure optimization use cases address genuine customer problems, provide quantified value and a credible path from proof of concept to production. Your missions and responsibilities will include: * Own the product strategy and roadmap for Pasqal's optimization applications, prioritizing use cases where our neutral-atom technology can genuinely move the needle over classical and other quantum approaches. * Run real discovery with customers and partners: talk to users frequently, map their workflows, and test more ideas than you build. Prototype and experiment to de-risk value, usability, feasibility, and viability before committing engineering effort. * Translate concrete optimization problems (routing, scheduling, portfolio, network, energy, logistics, etc.) into well-scoped application requirements the Algo and Solutions teams can deliver against. * Own viability: define how Pasqal quantifies the value delivered by an optimization use case, how we articulate ROI to the customer, and what commercial model fits. * Partner closely with the Solutions, Algorithms, Software, and Cloud teams to integrate optimization applications into end-to-end customer workflows and the Pasqal Quantum Software Stack. * Work with Business Development, Sales, and Marketing to expand the customer base and turn successful engagements into repeatable references and go-to-market assets. * Own the data: define the metrics that tell you whether an application is working, and use them to decide what to double down on, rebuild, or kill. * Maintain a rigorous technology and competitive watch on quantum and classical optimization, and feed it back into strategy. * Contribute to Pasqal's IP portfolio in quantum applications where relevant. ## Related Videos - [Quantum Computing - How Does It Work, How Will it Affect Us and When?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100293-quantum-computing-how-does-it-work-how-will-it-affect-us-and-when) - [How Lufthansa Industry Solutions is preparing for the Quantum Age! ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1443-how-lufthansa-industry-solutions-is-preparing-for-the-quantum-age) - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Quantum Tech: Preparing for the Next Leap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1693-quantum-tech-preparing-for-the-next-leap) - [Quantum computing for developers: Solving optimization problems with Qiskit](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/777-quantum-computing-for-developers-solving-optimization-problems-with-qiskit) ## Related Articles - [Best Companies to Work For in Paris: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/190-best-companies-to-work-for-in-paris-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Best Companies to Work For in France: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/189-best-companies-to-work-for-in-france-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Welcome to Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/4-welcome-to-switzerland) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies)
