Job Title: Software Product Manager 

Reports to: Chief Product Officer 

Location: Westminster, CO (Hybrid — 3-4 days on site) 

Compensation: Salary range $135k-$165k 

 

The Role 

We are looking for a Software Product Manager who can guide our software engineering team with clarity and technical credibility.

This is not a role for someone who will hand requirements over the wall and hope for the best.

You will be embedded in the day-to-day work of the team: running sprint ceremonies, owning the backlog, writing requirements that engineers can act on, and making product decisions that hold up under scrutiny. 

The right candidate has a software engineering or technical background and has moved into product management because they want to shape what gets built, not just how it gets built.

You understand system architecture well enough to know when a proposal does not fit, and you are willing to say so.

You write requirements you have thoroughly reviewed and own the outcomes that follow. 

What You Will Own 

Day to day software team leadership 


* Own the product backlog and sprint planning for the software engineering team 


* Write and maintain requirements that are accurate, scoped, and actionable 


* Run Agile ceremonies and serve as the primary product voice to engineering 


* Manage trade-off decisions between scope, quality, and timeline in real time 


* Report sprint progress to executive leadership 


* Work with customer-facing teams and market focused Product Managers to triage requests and manage communication related to software releases 

 

Software roadmap and platform strategy  


* Define the “What", "Why”, and “When” of what the software team builds. 


* Own the software and cloud platform roadmap, including API integrations and third-party partnerships 


* Ensure roadmap initiatives have well defined software requirements before engineering picks them up 


* Partner with hardware and market focused product managers to identify what software can realistically deliver, surface revenue opportunities, and align software commitments to system level plans. 


* Maintain visibility into technical dependencies and surface risks early 

 

AI product direction 


* Provide product leadership for Inovonics' AI capabilities, including our dealer facing AI assistant and AI driven monitoring features 


* Translate the engineering team's AI and ML capabilities into a committed, realistic roadmap 


* Identify where AI creates genuine product value versus where it adds complexity without payoff 


* Work with commercial and customer facing teams to validate AI use cases before committing engineering resources
