Job Title: Sr. Product Manager, Product Lifecycle

The Sr. Product Manager, Product Lifecycle acts as the single-threaded business owner for product financial rigor and sunset strategy within the Product Lifecycle organization. Reporting to the Director of Product Roadmap, this role bridges product decision-making and financial discipline, ensuring that every device and software feature in the Vivint portfolio is evaluated, priced, and sunset based on standardized unit economics.

This is a foundational, 0-to-1 role. You will build the first standardized Product P&L framework used across the product organization and establish Vivint’s first generalized End-of-Life (EOL) process. You will partner with Supply Chain, Sales, Finance, and core Product Managers to ensure pricing, component cost, and sunset decisions are grounded in data and that leadership has a clear view of financial health across the live portfolio.

Primary Responsibilities

• P&L & Unit Economics - Design and roll out a standardized profit-and-loss framework for evaluating cost, margin, and profitability of devices or software offerings.
• Component & Pricing Strategy - Work with Supply Chain and Sales to align component costs and pricing to margin targets using defensible financial data.
• Financial Performance Monitoring - Build and maintain mechanisms to track ongoing product financial performance, including margin health, warranty drag, and upgrade subsidy costs; flag deviations to product and finance leadership.
• Business Case Development - Collaborate to build rigorous, data-backed business cases for new investment, extension, or sunset decisions.

EOL Strategy & Process

• EOL Process Design - Own the end-to-end design of Vivint’s standardized End-of-Life process, including trigger criteria, governance and approval steps, and a repeatable sunset playbook for hardware and software.
• Legacy Portfolio Assessment - Assess current live and legacy device fleet using financial modeling to identify and prioritize EOL candidates.
• Upgrade & Migration Economics - Model the financial tradeoffs of customer upgrade paths and subsidy structures, balancing retention costs against margin recovery.
• Cross-Functional Rollout - Partner with Sales, Customer Support, and Marketing to build the operational playbook needed to communicate and execute product sunsets smoothly.

Required Skills & Functional Dimensions

• Financial Modeling Mastery - Proficient in building P&L models, margin analysis, and unit economics; advanced Excel or equivalent modeling tools required.
• Process Design Mindset - Ability to build a 0-to-1 process or framework from ambiguity and drive adoption across a cross-functional organization.
• Cross-Functional Influence - Track record of building trust and aligning priorities across Finance, Supply Chain, Sales, and Product without direct authority.
• Data Fluency - Comfortable with large data sets to support financial modeling; working knowledge of SQL or BI tools (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI) is a plus.

Required Education & Experience

• Experience - 6-8+ years in product finance, FP&A, business operations, or a finance-focused product strategy role, ideally within consumer electronics, IoT, or subscription-based hardware businesses.
• Lifecycle Exposure - Direct experience building or maturing a product P&L framework, pricing model, or end-of-life/lifecycle process is highly preferred.
• Cross-Functional Track Record - Successful partnership across finance, supply chain, and product teams to influence pricing, margin, or portfolio decisions.
• Education - B.S. or M.S. in Finance, Business, Economics, or a related quantitative discipline; MBA preferred.
