About the job
Requirements
- At least 5 years of experience in Product Management, product development, or a similar role, with demonstrated ownership of products from concept through launch.
- Strong product judgment and the ability to translate ambiguous strategic direction, customer problems, and market opportunities into a clear product vision, priorities, and requirements.
- Demonstrated cross-functional leadership and the ability to influence, align, challenge, and create accountability across technical and commercial teams without relying on direct authority.
- Sufficient technical fluency across electronics, hardware, firmware, software, and mechanical design to understand trade-offs, assess implications, and engage credibly with technical teams.
- Strong customer and commercial orientation, with the ability to bridge market and user needs with practical technical execution.
- Excellent communication, critical thinking, and decision-making skills; ability to simplify complexity, foresee problems, make pragmatic trade-offs, and drive decisions with incomplete information.
- High ownership, persistence, and bias for action; comfort using the product, solving problems directly, and pushing through organizational roadblocks.
Responsibilities
- Own the assigned product or portfolio swim lane and the end-to-end development of products within it, from idea and business need through definition, development, validation, launch, and early market feedback.
- Establish product vision and direction in partnership with leadership, translating customer problems, market opportunities, and strategic priorities into clear product requirements that define what is being built and why while enabling the technical team to determine how.
- Act as the primary product point of contact across the organization; engage Commercial, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Operations, Engineering, and other stakeholders to gather input, align priorities, resolve ambiguity, and drive decisions.
- Develop product requirements, use cases, priorities, constraints, and acceptance criteria; maintain clarity on scope and make deliberate decisions when requirements, cost, timing, complexity, or customer needs conflict.
- Work with hardware, firmware, software, mechanical, and industrial design teams to assess feasibility and technical trade-offs; challenge assumptions and balance customer value, product quality, cost, schedule, manufacturability, and technical complexity.
- Partner with Project Managers to keep products on track against milestones, dependencies, risks, and launch commitments; identify roadblocks, drive issue resolution, escalate when needed, and advocate for required resources.
- Provide leadership throughout development by maintaining momentum, creating accountability, and advancing decisions when work stalls or priorities compete; take action as needed to move the product forward.
- Lead prototype and external beta activities, engage with users and customers, gather feedback, and determine changes needed before release.
- Use and test the product throughout development, challenge it, and ensure the final experience meets the intended product vision and acceptance criteria.
- Drive cross-functional launch readiness, including product positioning, internal knowledge transfer, customer-facing enablement, documentation, operational readiness, and post-launch feedback; ensure the organization is ready to bring the product to market.
Desired Qualifications
- An engineering background is helpful but not required.
- Experience with Asana, Jira, or similar project management tools is an asset.
