Job Description
We are looking for a Hybrid Product & Project Manager to own both the high-level product strategy and the granular project execution. You will define the long-term vision and roadmap while simultaneously managing the day-to-day operations, delivery schedules, and building operational structures from scratch.
Key Responsibilities
Product Strategy & Roadmap Ownership
- Strategic Planning: Own and maintain the IoT platform roadmap—prioritize features based on customer value, business impact, and engineering capacity
- Intake Management: Manage the requirements intake pipeline from multiple portfolio companies using a structured prioritization framework (not first-come, first-served)
- Market Intelligence: Track the competitive landscape (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, etc.) to ensure the platform remains a market leader
- Requirements Discovery: Lead structured discovery sessions with portfolio companies and external customers to translate raw needs into documented specs
- Technical Writing: Write detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and product briefs that allow engineers to execute without constant clarification
- Agile Leadership: Run the day-to-day operations of a distributed engineering team, including sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives
- Risk & Dependency Management: Own the dependency maps, blocker logs, and mitigation plans. Escalate to the CEO proactively before a problem becomes a crisis
- Knowledge Management: Maintain the central knowledge base (architecture decisions, meeting notes, onboarding docs, and product specs) to ensure team alignment
- Budget Tracking: Track budget actuals versus forecasts monthly and flag any variances proactively
- Cloud & Infrastructure: Manage cloud provider consoles (AWS/GCP) for resource provisioning and developer access (IAM/Route53)
- Environment Parity: Audit Dev, Staging, and Production setups to ensure they match the product's architectural requirements
- Reporting: Prepare board-ready monthly updates focusing on milestones, key metrics, and critical decision points
- Collateral Creation: Produce high-quality product one-pagers, demo scripts, and integration guides
