About the role

As an IoT Product Manager, you will own the full lifecycle of our connected product portfolio — from smart filters and real-time water quality monitors to mobile companion apps and cloud-based analytics dashboards. You will work closely with cross-functional partners in hardware engineering, firmware, UX design, data science, and customer success to deliver products that are intuitive, reliable, and technically differentiated. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who thrives at the intersection of physical devices and digital experiences.


What you'll do

  • Own the voice of the customer — conduct user research, analyze telemetry data, and drive iterative improvements based on real-world usage patterns and NPS feedback.
  • Define and track KPIs including device activation rates, connectivity uptime, filter replacement compliance, and customer lifetime value for connected products.
  • Partner with go-to-market, sales engineering, and customer success teams to develop launch strategies, technical enablement materials, and post-launch support playbooks.
  • Manage relationships with contract manufacturers and component suppliers, ensuring BOM and certification timelines (FCC, CE, UL) stay on track.
  • Anticipate and mitigate risks in firmware OTA update cycles, data privacy compliance (CCPA, GDPR), and cybersecurity threat modeling for connected devices.
  • Mentor junior product associates and contribute to a culture of data-driven, customer-centric product development.
