We are looking for a Vice President of Product to direct the strategy for our Public-Sector facing integrated hardware and software ecosystems. You will oversee the development of complex, edge-deployed technology—including cameras, IoT devices, and software while integrating machine learning and AI capabilities into the core product suite. As a key executive, you will rely on data to guide the product organization and align the executive team and Board of Directors around a clear roadmap for growth. This role is a combination of being hands on with our evolving, active products, as well as managing and overseeing a team of Product Managers across a number of different product lines that are both active and emerging.
Key Responsibilities
Drive the product vision and strategy, unifying physical hardware (cameras, vision systems, IoT, robotics) with software platforms and AI/ML ecosystems.
Manage the complete product lifecycle from New Product Introduction (NPI) and conceptualization through manufacturing, commercial deployment, and end-of-life.
Manage and scale the product organization, balancing technical execution with strategic leadership and operational rigor.
Use data and analytics to shape product direction, prioritize development, manage product P&L, and deliver evidence-based recommendations to the executive team and Board of Directors.
Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Operations to define go-to-market strategies, pricing, positioning, and target market segments.
Build consensus across hardware engineering, software engineering, supply chain, and commercial teams with conviction, persuasion, and a low-ego approach.
Gather market and competitive intelligence to anticipate trends in edge computing, computer vision, and IoT to ensure the portfolio remains competitive.
Qualifications
12+ years of product leadership experience, with a track record of building complex technologies and managing teams.
Domain expertise in hardware product development (e.g., cameras, IoT, robotics or similar technology domains) combined with the software and cloud platforms that power them.
Experience in New Product Introduction (NPI), taking hardware devices from R&D prototypes to mass production and global deployment.
History of commercializing Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence technologies within integrated hardware and software ecosystems.
Business and financial acumen, with experience managing product margins, pricing strategies, and revenue growth.
Executive presence with the ability to lead with data, advocate for strategic direction, and influence board decisions while remaining grounded and collaborative.
