Key Responsibilities
You lead the product across strategy, definition, and execution alongside your team. You help shape the vision and the roadmap, work through the trade-offs that engineering and design build against, and keep the program moving from first prototype toward large-scale agency deployment. You partner with engineering, design, hardware, supply chain, and go-to-market leaders, and you help carry the product narrative to executives, agency decision-makers, and the field.
Product strategy: Own the multi-year vision, target segments, and the sequence of bets that get the product from early deployments to large-scale adoption. Own the full product lifecycle from definition through go-to-market and iteration.
Definition and execution: Turn how officers work and communicate in the field into clear product requirements. Own the roadmap and the trade-offs across performance, reliability, battery life, security, and cost.
Customer obsession: Build direct relationships with agency leaders and officers. Start from the customer problem and ground every major decision in customer evidence and field data.
Cross-functional leadership: Partner with hardware, firmware, cloud, and design engineering leaders to turn device and system constraints into product decisions, and with go-to-market teams to land deployments that hold up in the field.
Team building: Hire, coach, and lead a team of product managers. Set the bar for written thinking, customer discovery, and measurable outcomes.
Accountability: Define the metrics that show whether the product is working (adoption, field reliability, officer trust) and report against them honestly, including when the data says a bet was wrong.
Required Skills & Abilities
10+ years in product management, with a track record of driving growth in technical product lines that combine hardware and software, ideally deployed in the field at scale.
Direct experience shipping both hardware and software products, and comfort owning the full device plus platform experience rather than one layer of it.
Experience taking a new hardware product from 0 to 1, from early concept through launch and into market traction.
4+ years leading and building product teams, setting strategy that shipped and moved the business.
Credibility with senior engineering leaders across embedded, firmware, and cloud domains, and the judgment to make trade-offs where field performance matters more than feature count.
The ability to lead without formal authority, bringing executives, engineering, and external partners to one roadmap despite competing priorities.
Strong written communication. You can turn an ambiguous, high-stakes problem into a clear document that drives a decision.
Experience with connected devices, communications products, or mission-critical systems is a strong plus.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Relevant experience matters more than a specific degree.
