We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to take end-to-end ownership of the entire Braeburn product portfolio and brand. This is not a single-product role.

• Lead products from concept through business case, specifications, development, testing, launch and post-launch improvement.
• Create competitive strategies against HVAC control brands.
• Own product pricing, cost targets, margin improvement, sales forecasts, inventory assumptions and portfolio profitability.
• Simplify the portfolio by identifying product gaps, duplication, obsolete models and opportunities for common hardware or software platforms.
• Partner with engineering and manufacturing teams to manage technical requirements, quality, certifications, reliability and product cost.
• Lead product launches, including positioning, messaging, packaging, literature, training, sales tools and distributor readiness.
• Support sales teams and key customers with technical presentations, product selection, competitive cross-references and major opportunities.
• Track product performance, warranty trends, customer feedback, app performance and corrective actions.
• Protect and strengthen the Braeburn brand by ensuring every product delivers contractor-friendly installation, dependable performance and strong value.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of product management experience in HVAC controls, thermostats, building controls, electrical controls or closely related products.
• Demonstrated ownership of a physical-product portfolio from strategy through commercialization.
• Strong understanding of conventional HVAC, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, hydronics, forced-air zoning and low-voltage controls.
• Experience working with contractors, HVAC distributors, wholesalers, OEMs or representative channels.
• Ability to develop business cases, pricing strategies, forecasts and product profitability analysis.
• Strong customer-facing, analytical, technical and cross-functional leadership skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, marketing or a related field.
• Willingness to travel for customer visits, field research, trade shows and supplier meetings.

Preferred Qualifications
