Responsibilities

• Act as the organization's primary champion for the user, developing an exhaustive understanding of how, when, and why customers consume energy within their households today
• Utilize deep data expertise to analyze complex customer usage patterns, device telemetry, and household power metrics, transforming these insights into actionable energy optimization strategies
• Continuously identify friction points and critical gaps in our current product features and physical hardware suite, determining exactly how our ambient system can be evolved to better automate household efficiency
• Own the multi-year technical product roadmap, requirements definitions, and feature sequencing to transform Vivint into a central, proactive residential energy hub
• Bridge the gap between physical smart home endpoints (thermostats, smart plugs, panels) and utility-facing software layers, managing the product lifecycle from initial data modeling through to over-the-air (OTA) feature deployment
• Act as a core thought leader on how home automation hardware can interact with external energy programs, ensuring our system can respond intelligently to grid events while preserving a premium user experience
• Operate autonomously as a senior individual contributor, driving complex, multi-phase product launches across the organization without relying on a large team of direct reports

• Comfortable diving deep into hardware constraints and firmware capabilities, as well as cloud APIs, data pipelines, and distributed energy resource management software (DERMS)
• Strong product design instincts with a focus on building cohesive, ecosystem-wide experiences rather than siloed, standalone features
• 6–8+ years of technical product management experience, with a solid track record of shipping consumer-facing software features, smart home solutions, or energy-adjacent tech platforms at scale
• Demonstrated experience working closely alongside data science and analytics teams to monitor, evaluate, and evolve live, mass-market consumer experiences
• Proven success working daily alongside engineering architects, software developers, and industrial designers to deliver high-quality customer experiences
• B.S. or M.S. in a Technical Field (Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Energy Systems, or a related quantitative discipline); equivalent practical technical experience considered
