Staff Product Manager, Vehicle Automation & Home Integration

Description

As Staff Product Manager, Vehicle Automation & Home Integration, you will define the long-term vision, strategy, and roadmap for a portfolio of connected experiences that span the vehicle, personal devices, and the home. This role requires a product leader who can deeply understand customer needs, emerging technologies, ecosystem dynamics, and competitive patterns to create compelling experiences that solve real customer problems.

You will shape experiences related to vehicle-to-home access, connected home interoperability, proximity- and device-initiated vehicle interactions, and customer-configurable automations that coordinate actions across systems. Success in this role requires strong product judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to translate broad opportunity spaces into clear strategies, prioritized roadmaps, and actionable product requirements.

• Partner closely with Design, Engineering, Program, and other Product Managers to define end-to-end experiences and ensure requirements are clear, measurable, and actionable

• Define product requirements for complex cross-system experiences involving software, hardware, connectivity, authentication, privacy, and controls

• Influence senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams through strong communication, storytelling, and structured decision-making

• Gather and analyze customer feedback to continuously improve the customer experience

• Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure product effectiveness and success

• Experience defining customer-facing software products that connect across platforms, services, or ecosystems

• Proven ability to balance tradeoffs between consumer expectations, business objectives, and technical constraints.

• Expertise in developing solutions to complex challenges using data-informed decision-making and risk assessment.
