Job Summary:

We are on a mission to deliver powerful yet simple peace-of-mind solutions to keep our customers protected at home and online. Our Smart Home products empower users to stay connected to their loved ones and enable them to safeguard what matters most to them. The Product Manager, Smart Home will help bring this vision to life by defining and delivering unique features leveraging smart home devices, sensors, and services. The successful candidate will play a critical role in delivering experiences that offer peace of mind to millions of users. We are looking for an individual who exhibits the following qualities.

• A product pro. You know how to identify customer needs, determine problems to solve, and translate them to experience requirements that become user stories in a prioritized product backlog. You work cross-functionally with your design and engineering partners, providing clear direction on the “what” and “why” but giving them a strong voice to define the “how”. You consider how to measure the impact and success of your features and use that data to inform what you build next.
• A customer-centric, data-driven strategist. You keep the customer at the center of what you do. You take time to understand the customer and market by digging into the data, researching, and talking to breathing, living customers. You synthesize this info to define core customer needs, problems to solve, and solutions to build.
• Action- and execution-oriented. You aren’t afraid to ask questions in a room with many people to get the information you need. You can negotiate an array of constraints, guidelines, and business rules as you define your experience requirements, all without sacrificing what’s right for the customers. You know how to roll with the punches, find the path forward as the landscape changes, clearly communicate, and bring all impacted partners along with you.
• A relationship builder. You know that relationships drive your ability to succeed. You understand the value of listening first, then talking; of giving consistently and receiving occasionally. You’ve seen how strong cross-team collaboration and partnership yields the best outcomes.

Core Responsibilities:

• Define product requirements for new products, features, and use cases; define acceptance criteria for each.
• Own development across the entire product lifecycle phases – product discovery, definition, development, delivery, deployment, and optimization.
• Coordinate closely with engineering and program leads to ensure alignment between technical, business, and field teams on product features and releases.
• Keep up to date on the technology and market trends; identifies and evaluates new product ideas or strategic product extensions.
• Contribute to the product vision across the team and the organization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and partners to define and lead product roadmaps and to deliver on them.
• Work with engineering to prioritize and groom the backlog and assist in sprint planning.
• Keep track of product performance through data collection and analysis; build and maintain dashboards to maintain product use and performance.

Preferred Requirements:

Below is our list of preferred qualifications. We know that people with different skills and experiences can be successful in this role as well. For that reason, it is not necessary that you possess all these traits. If you are missing a few, please apply anyway.
