Lead Product Manager, Mobile Platform & IoT

DataOnline Corp.; Blair, Northern (NE, KY); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Anova is seeking a Product Manager for the Mobile Platform to own discovery and delivery across a defined product area within the Anova Unify platform. You will write specs, manage a backlog, partner daily with engineering, and shape the roadmap through customer insights and data-driven decisions.

You will collaborate with engineering and design, define success metrics, and contribute to go-to-market materials. A hands-on, customer-focused PM mindset is essential.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience with mobile platform development, device connectivity, and software deployment.
• 3+ years of experience as a Product Manager, with direct ownership of product area strategy and adoption outcomes.
• 6+ years of total professional experience, spanning product management, software engineering, or related technical functions.
• You have at least one example of taking a product, feature, or initiative from zero - no spec, no playbook - to something real and used.
• Track record of shipping SaaS or enterprise software in close partnership with engineering teams - from spec to production - using Agile/DevOps.
• Experience conducting customer discovery interviews and translating qualitative and quantitative insight into prioritized, well-scoped backlog items.
• Demonstrated use of AI and LLM tools in a PM context - for research, synthesis, spec drafting, competitive analysis, data work, or customer insight.
• Ability to write clear, structured specs, one-pagers, and narratives for cross-functional audiences.
• Comfort reasoning about technical trade-offs - APIs, data models, integration patterns - credibly with engineers.
• Data fluency: define metrics, pull and analyze data in BI tools, and make evidence-based roadmap calls.

Responsibilities

• Lead deep customer discovery. Design and run ongoing discovery programs - interviews, site visits, usage analysis, win/loss reviews. Develop a differentiated point of view on what customers need, what they'll pay for, and what will create durable competitive advantage. Use AI tools to accelerate research and synthesis. Build conviction before building product.
• Own your backlog end-to-end. Write specs and acceptance criteria that engineers can build from. Prioritize ruthlessly. Keep the backlog current and free of ambiguity.
• Ship and measure. Define success metrics before each release. Monitor adoption post-launch. Share what you're learning with the broader team and make fast, evidence-based adjustments.
• Partner with engineering and design daily. Be a reliable, responsive partner. Unblock your team. Make trade-off calls with good judgment and know when to elevate.
• Reason across the full stack. Understand how Anova's physical devices, connectivity layer, and cloud platform interact - and make product decisions that account for hardware constraints, firmware cycles, and sensor data quality, not just software capabilities.
• Enable go-to-market. Write clear release notes, internal briefings, and customer-facing materials. Help sales and customer success understand what you've shipped and why it matters.
• Support customers. Triage escalated product issues in your area. Maintain a feedback loop with support and customer success to surface patterns early.
