Yubico is looking for an experienced and highly collaborative Senior Product Manager to define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for our distributed Production & Fulfillment Systems. In this pivotal role, you will be a technical leader in our product management team and work closely with our hardware solutions engineering and production teams to build enterprise-grade systems that produce YubiKey devices at scale. You will serve as the strategic counterpart to our Director of Engineering for Production & Fulfillment Systems.

You will own the 'what' and 'why' behind the enterprise-grade, secured, and reliable software used to manufacture and distribute YubiKey devices globally and at scale. To succeed, you will work closely with other product managers, hardware engineering, solutions engineering, global supply chain, and operations teams to translate complex business and technical requirements into a seamless, automated production ecosystem.

Tasks & Responsibilities

• Product Strategy & Roadmap Ownership: Define and execute the long-term product vision and roadmap for next-generation production and fulfillment systems, ensuring tight alignment with overarching business goals and customer needs.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner deeply with Engineering, Hardware, Supply Chain/Production, and Operations teams to design high-impact solutions that drive automation efficiency and scalability across a global workforce.
• Requirements Definition: Translate complex manufacturing workflows, logistics needs, and hardware requirements into clear, high-quality product requirement documents (PRDs) and user stories.
• Technical Partnership & Conflict Resolution: Serve as the strategic unifier in cross-functional technical decisions. Actively synthesize competing priorities between product vision and architectural necessity, ensuring trade-offs documented, data-backed, and optimised for long-term reliability.
• Security & Compliance Management: Collaborate with security and engineering teams to ensure software systems seamlessly integrate with critical cryptographic infrastructure (such as PKI and HSMs) while maintaining Yubico's gold standard of security.
• Process Optimization & Excellence: Drive the evaluation and continuous improvement of production processes, adopting industry trends in industrial and manufacturing automation to maximise efficiency.
• Stakeholder Alignment: Act as the primary voice of the fulfillment and production product domain, effectively conveying complex product strategies and system impacts to a wide variety of technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels.

• Experience: 10+ years of progressively broadening product management experience, with a strong track record of shipping complex, enterprise-class hardware & manufacturing solutions.
• Domain Expertise: Proven experience in technical product management within hardware production environments, manufacturing environments, or large-scale internal tools.
• Leadership & Acumen: Proven ability to act as a constructive challenger to highly technical engineering partners. Strong business and technical acumen with the confidence to debate architectural tradeoffs and act as a constructive challenger in deeply technical environments and manage competing priorities across geographically distributed teams.
• Communication: Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills to align multi-disciplinary teams toward a unified vision.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hardware-Software Integration: Experience working closely with firmware development, embedded systems, and the unique lifecycle challenges of managing physical hardware manufacturing through systems & software platforms.
• Cryptographic Systems: Understanding of cryptographic systems, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), or Key Management Systems using Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).
• Industrial Automation: Solid grasp of industrial and manufacturing automation designs, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), or firmware integration systems.
• Analytical Mindset: Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills with a hands‑on approach to diving deep into technical workflows alongside engineering teams.
