Who You'll be Joining:

Our hive, headquartered in Toronto, is looking for a Staff Product Manager to help lead the evolution of ecobee’s Smart Security business – shaping how our devices and services come together to deliver a seamless, high-value customer experience. Our Smart Security business is building a holistic home monitoring portfolio: doorbells, cameras, sensors, and security services and features (including professional monitoring) that are powered by a scalable platform and ecosystem.

You will bring deep experience in building and shipping hardware products, alongside a strong understanding of how those devices power differentiated service experiences. You’ll partner closely with Hardware Engineering, Firmware, Mobile, Backend, Design, Data, and go-to-market teams to define and deliver integrated solutions that drive both customer value and business outcomes – especially across activation, engagement, and subscription growth.

You’ll operate as a senior product leader – owning complex, cross-functional problem spaces, setting direction across devices and services, and driving clarity in ambiguous, high-stakes decisions. This role sits at the intersection of physical products and digital experiences, requiring strong systems thinking and the ability to connect technical capabilities to customer and commercial impact.

At ecobee, Product Managers are expected to operate as builders, storytellers, and stewards of the business: we stay deeply connected to customer needs and delivery realities, we clarify and communicate the value of what we’re building, and we take ownership for outcomes over the full product lifecycle.

[For Toronto/GTA Candidates only] This role follows a hybrid schedule, with in-office work required on Wednesdays and Thursdays to support collaboration, and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

As Staff Product Manager at ecobee, you will:

• Own and evolve the product strategy across devices and services, ensuring tight integration between hardware capabilities and service experiences (e.g., onboarding, activation, subscription value, and retention).

• Lead complex, cross-cutting initiatives that span device development and service growth, including funnel optimization, attach rate expansion, and lifecycle engagement.

• Define how device capabilities (e.g., sensing, reliability, responsiveness) translate into differentiated service experiences and customer value propositions.

• Drive end-to-end product development across hardware and services—from discovery through launch and iteration—ensuring clear problem definition and measurable outcomes.

• Partner deeply with Engineering (hardware, firmware, mobile, backend), Design, Data, and GTM teams to align on priorities, navigate trade-offs, and deliver high-quality experiences.

• Establish and own key success metrics across the funnel (e.g., conversion, activation, engagement, retention), using data to inform decisions and continuously optimize performance.

• Lead customer discovery across both physical and digital experiences—understanding how customers adopt, use, and derive value from Smart Security products.

• Influence broader portfolio and platform decisions by connecting device strategy with ecosystem, service monetization, and long-term customer value.

• Act as a senior leader within the team—raising the bar on product thinking, mentoring others, and driving clarity in ambiguous, high-stakes situations.

• 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.

What You’ll Bring to the Table:

• 8–12+ years of product management experience, with strong experience in hardware/device products and meaningful exposure to services, subscriptions, or ecosystems.

• Strong customer and market instincts paired with technical credibility—able to translate real customer needs into clear product direction and engineering-ready requirements.

• Proven track record of shipping complex products that span hardware and software/service layers, with clear business impact.

• Deep understanding of device development lifecycle (hardware, firmware, manufacturing constraints) and how it intersects with software and service experiences.

• Strong product and business judgment—able to balance customer value, technical feasibility, and commercial outcomes (e.g., attach, retention, monetization).

• Experience defining and optimizing growth funnels (activation, conversion, retention), ideally in a subscription or recurring revenue context.

• Excellent cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and align teams across disciplines.

• Highly analytical and structured thinker, with a strong bias toward action and continuous improvement.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and leading large, complex problem spaces with minimal direction.

• Passion for building customer-centric products that integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
