Product Manager (all genders) - Connectivity

Overview

Join us as a Product Manager (all genders) in our Connectivity team on a shared journey that matters! The Connectivity Team builds and operates the backbone of vehicle-to-platform communication. We own the end-to-end connectivity landscape that links in-vehicle systems with digital services, covering communication architecture as well as SIM, MNO, and connectivity lifecycle management. Working closely with embedded and platform teams, we ensure reliable, secure, and scalable communication paths that can be consistently used across products and services. Our work provides a standardized connectivity foundation that enables connected vehicle functions and digital services to operate smoothly.

Responsibilities

• Own and manage the connectivity backlog for vehicle-to-platform communication, including SIM/MNO lifecycle topics, ensuring items are ready for development and delivery.
• Break down features and enablers into actionable backlog items, clarify scope and acceptance criteria, and support the team with timely decisions.
• Work closely with the development teams on a daily basis, answering questions, resolving ambiguities, and ensuring a shared understanding of priorities.
• Coordinate with external partners (e.g. MNOs, SIM/eSIM providers, technology suppliers) to clarify requirements, align delivery timelines, and address operational issues.
• Actively manage dependencies and impediments, both within the ART and with external partners, to keep delivery on track.
• Keep the team and stakeholders continuously informed about priorities, progress, risks, and changes during the PI.
• Support predictable delivery by preparing and contributing to backlog refinement, PI Planning, reviews, system demos, and Inspect & Adapt events.
• Monitor operational quality and connectivity health, follow up on issues, and ensure corrective actions are prioritized and delivered.
• Collaborate closely with other Product Owners and Product Management to align scope, timing, and dependencies across teams.
• Continuously improve ways of working, identifying opportunities to optimize flow, reduce friction, and improve delivery efficiency within the team.

• Excellent communication and alignment skills, enabling clear, concise exchange with developers, architects, operations, and business stakeholders.
• Confidence in working with evolving requirements, making pragmatic decisions and providing direction under uncertainty.
• Good understanding of vehicle-to-platform connectivity patterns, including request/response, publish/subscribe, asynchronous communication, and handling intermittent connectivity.
• Ability to reason about end-to-end connectivity flows across vehicle, connectivity layer, and backend services, and understand where failures, delays, or bottlenecks can occur.
• Extensive hands-on professional experience in a relevant field, with a proven track record of successfully delivering results in complex environments.
