You will operate across hardware, mobile software, and field operations, working closely with sales, marketing, engineering, design, QA, and data teams.

• Work across our broad sales organization to deeply understand their pain points and understand how we can reduce time and cost with net new product innovation.
• Drive alignment across product, engineering, data science, design, and hardware to deliver setup experiences that are usable, reliable, and trusted.
• Create, define and roll-out success metrics for device setup and establish iteration loops, including quality, latency, relevance, engagement, and trust.
• Drive cross-functional delivery of all setup features, from concept through launch and iteration, while owning the full product experience end-to-end.

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of product management experience shipping customer-facing products, or 3+ years’ experience driving smart home and setup experiences.
• Strong customer empathy and ability to turn ambiguity into clear product direction.
• Proven track record of shipping customer-facing products and experiences to millions of users
• Experience leading cross-functional teams across product, program, design, engineering, QA, and sales.
• Excellent communication and product judgment with strong writing, crisp decision-making, and clear prioritization.
• Analytical mindset with comfort defining metrics, measuring outcomes, and iterating.
• Comfort operating in technically complex domains, including hardware and software
