Full-Scope, High-Stakes Project Leadership Drive Complex Initiatives: Take direct operational ownership of high-impact, multi-threaded projects that defy traditional functional boundaries (e.g., leading a deeply complex partnership with a big platform partner, launching a unified software/hardware experience). Break Down Functional Silos: Step in where traditional, function-specific program managers (HW, SW, Design) stop. Synthesize engineering timelines, software readiness, go-to-market (GTM), partnership requirements, regional nuances, and retail readiness into a singular, executable program. Ecosystem Connection: Ensure new and existing products seamlessly interconnect to create a fluid, intuitive hardware and software ecosystem. Who You Are: As a deeply experienced, T-shaped technical leader , you bring a proven track record of delivering complex solutions across hardware, software, design, and go-to-market strategy, all backed by deep program management expertise.

Ecosystem Thinker: You look at a mouse, a webcam, and a software platform and see a single, continuous user experience, not three separate products. Experience: 10+ years of hands-on R&D program management, technical product management, or engineering leadership within consumer electronics, or complex hardware/software environments. Experience delivering new HW & SW consumer electronics all the way to mass production and launch.
