About The TeamSmartThings is seeking a Senior Product Manager to join the Services team, which is responsible for bringing a variety of innovative B2C,B2B, and B2B2C IoT-enabled services to a wide range of new markets (including Vacation Rentals, Senior Care, Energy, Security/Monitoring and Smart Apartment) as well as strategic go-to-market partnerships. This is an important and strategic role within the company that requires not only product thinking but also the business acumen to deliver the maximum value for SmartThings in multiple different new verticals. The roadmap and go-to-market strategy you define and lead us to execute will be fundamental to providing a world-class user experience in the U.S. market.

About The Role
In this role, you will have a wide range of responsibilities but also an incredible opportunity to shape the next phase of our services offering (both B2B and B2B2C). As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll work closely with engineering to drive the product development lifecycle for various user-facing products.

Key areas that you will own include defining roadmaps to bring new products and services to market, defining the pricing strategy for those products and defining the B2B platform requirements for multiple new verticals (e.g. Senior Care and Vacation Rentals).

You should have a product management track record and the technical chops to work closely with engineering, but also the business mindset to identify and create new monetization opportunities in collaboration with business development. You are data driven and get into the details, performing market analyses, usability studies, and examining usage patterns to evolve existing services and propose new features.  You should also have knowledge of the Smart Home space, including familiarity with IoT device manufacturers and smart home ecosystems, which informs what features you will build.
Key ResponsibilitiesResponsibilities:
  • Own and lead the product strategy, design and roadmap for multiple SmartThings Services.
  • Work with Business Development to do market-sizing, identify strategic/channel partners and create a go-to-market strategy for new services. 
  • Understand the market needs, and bridge business and technical considerations that result in innovative and compelling solutions for customers.
  • Engage directly with strategic partners to define collective use cases and objectives for the partnership, as well as set timelines for bringing integrations to market.
  • Coordinate and sync product initiatives across different internal teams, executive stakeholders, and business units, by establishing shared vision and getting buy-in.
  • Go deep to develop strong insights into customer needs and behaviors, as well as understand the competitive landscape, to inform product direction.
  • Define product priorities and collaborate with engineers to overcome roadblocks and evaluate trade-offs when appropriate.
  • Monitor and measure success metrics after launch by incorporating feedback into the product development process.
  • Communicate product plans, benefits, and results to all audiences in formal presentations at the team and organization level.
