Description and Requirements

Lenovo is looking for a Software Product Manager – Android Tablet OS & AI Ecosystem to define and deliver the next generation of Android tablet software and AI experiences.

This role sits at the intersection of Android OS strategy, Google platform collaboration, AI product innovation, ecosystem development, and global product execution. You will own key portions of Lenovo’s Android tablet software roadmap, translating the latest Google Android platform capabilities, certification requirements, AI technologies, and ecosystem opportunities into differentiated experiences for Lenovo tablet users.

You will work closely with teams across the United States and China, including Lenovo product, engineering, design, AI, business development, and go-to-market organizations, while building strong working relationships with Google and external AI/software ecosystem partners.

The ideal candidate combines strong product judgment with a solid understanding of Android platforms and emerging AI technologies. You should be equally comfortable discussing Android platform requirements with engineers, defining an AI user experience with designers, working with Google and ecosystem partners, and translating technology capabilities into a compelling product roadmap.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own Android Tablet OS Strategy & Roadmap
• Define the software strategy and multi-generation roadmap for Lenovo Android tablets based on the latest Google Android releases and platform evolution
• Evaluate new Android capabilities and determine how they should translate into differentiated Lenovo tablet experiences
• Own product planning across key OS areas including system experience, productivity, multitasking, connectivity, security, privacy, large-screen experiences, and device intelligence
• Translate customer insights, competitive analysis, Google platform direction, and Lenovo business priorities into clear product requirements and roadmap decisions
• Partner with engineering and program teams from concept through development, validation, certification, launch, telemetry, and post-launch optimization
• Balance platform consistency, Lenovo differentiation, development investment, schedule, and long-term maintainability
• Drive Google Platform & Compliance Planning
• Serve as a key product interface for Lenovo’s collaboration with Google on Android tablet software
• Track upcoming Android platform changes and translate them into actionable product and engineering plans
• Drive product-level planning related to Google MADA, RSA, certification, compatibility, security, and other applicable Android ecosystem requirements
• Identify platform dependencies and compliance risks early and work with engineering, legal, business, and Google stakeholders to establish mitigation plans
• Help Lenovo take advantage of new Google platform capabilities while maintaining product quality, compliance, and launch readiness
• Define how Google AI technologies / Lenovo Qira AI and Tablet capabilities come together to create differentiated tablet experiences
• Identify high-value use cases where AI can fundamentally improve learning, productivity, creativity, communication, and device interaction
• Drive AI features from concept and customer problem definition through prototype, product requirement, development, launch, and iteration
• Evaluate new AI capabilities including multimodal interaction, generative AI, personalized experiences, agentic workflows, contextual intelligence, and AI-powered UI
• Define success metrics and use customer feedback and telemetry to continuously improve AI experiences after launch
• Build the Software & AI Ecosystem
• This role extends beyond traditional product management and includes a meaningful business development and ecosystem development responsibility
• Identify external technologies, applications, AI services, developers, and strategic partners that can strengthen Lenovo’s tablet software proposition
• Develop partnership opportunities across AI models and services, productivity, education, creativity, gaming, cross-device experiences, and emerging software ecosystems
• Evaluate potential partners from both product and business perspectives, including customer value, differentiation, integration feasibility, commercial model, scalability, and strategic fit
• Work with internal business development, legal, engineering, marketing, and regional teams to move partnerships from exploration to product integration and market launch
• Develop compelling joint value propositions with strategic ecosystem partners
• Represent Lenovo’s tablet software strategy in discussions with technology partners and industry ecosystem stakeholders
• Connect U.S. Market Needs with China-Based Product Development

• Drive alignment among stakeholders when priorities, market requirements, platform constraints, and development resources compete
• Support global product launches while ensuring North American market requirements are adequately represented in product decisions

Within This role, Success Means:

• Lenovo’s Android tablet roadmap stays ahead of major Android platform transitions rather than reacting to them
