About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the product strategy and roadmap for ecobee’s Energy Devices portfolio, balancing customer value, business outcomes, and technical feasibility across Smart Thermostats, SmartSensors, and future energy hardware.
Lead end-to-end hardware product management from discovery through launch and iteration—defining clear problems to solve, crisp requirements, and measurable success outcomes.
Drive cross-functional alignment across hardware, firmware, mobile, manufacturing, quality, and operations—surfacing trade-offs early and making clear, principled recommendations.
Partner with engineering to define and deliver device-level capabilities (e.g., sensing accuracy, temperature compensation, humidity adjustment, latency), ensuring product decisions account for real-world performance and customer satisfaction.
Lead planning and execution for multi-channel launches, including navigating complexity when a thermostat release includes both retail and professional variants (e.g., feature deltas, packaging/SKU implications, channel readiness).
Ensure device programs meet required certifications and compliance expectations (e.g., UL/CSA, ENERGY STAR, and other applicable requirements), integrating certification strategy into program plans and launch readiness.
Drive product decisions that improve supply chain resiliency and cost control, partnering with Operations and Supply Chain to manage BOM, availability risk, and long-term platform sustainability.
Define and manage success metrics (adoption, activation, reliability/quality signals, returns/defects, and customer satisfaction inputs) and use those signals to guide post-launch iteration and portfolio decisions.
Embody ecobee’s expectation that PMs are builders, storytellers, and stewards—staying close to delivery, clarifying product value and narrative, and owning end-to-end outcomes across the lifecycle.
