Responsibilities
  • Own the assigned product or portfolio swim lane and the end-to-end development of products from idea and business need through definition, development, validation, launch, and early market feedback.
  • Establish product vision and direction with leadership, translating customer problems, market opportunities, and strategic priorities into product requirements defining what to build and why.
  • Act as the primary product point of contact across the organization by engaging stakeholders, gathering input, aligning priorities, resolving ambiguity, and driving decisions.
  • Develop product requirements, use cases, priorities, constraints, and acceptance criteria, 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, understand technical trade-offs, and balance customer value, quality, cost, schedule, manufacturability, and technical complexity.
  • Partner with Project Managers to track 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.
  • Lead prototype and external beta activities, engage users and customers, gather feedback, and determine changes needed before release.
  • Use and test the product throughout development and ensure the final experience meets the 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.
