Senior Product Manager, Monitoring Operations

About SimpliSafe

We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.

We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday and Thursday, to work together in person, and teams can choose where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.

Why are we hiring?

Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.

We are …

a team of designers, strategists, engineers, writers, researchers and product folks based in downtown Boston. Over the past ten years, we’ve quietly transformed home security from an outdated, unfriendly industry to something elegant, thoughtful, and beautifully designed. We put our customers at the center of everything we do. We care deeply about their experience and we constantly try to delight them with innovative products and services that are fairly priced. Our top ratings in the App/Play store are a clear validation of our commitment to customer experience. Plus, CNET, the Wirecutter and PCMag all named us their Editors’ Choice for home security.

The Job …

As a Product Manager for Monitoring Operations Experiences, you will be responsible for working with a dedicated team of designers and engineers focused on innovating, building, and improving the portfolio of tools our monitoring operations specialists use 24/7/365 to keep our customers safe during emergency moments. The primary focus of these tools is getting the right data (secure video, property information, emergency type, etc.) to our monitoring specialists within seconds when an alarm or other emergency is detected. These tools are critical to providing our customers with fast and effective emergency response when needed.

The ideal candidate for this role has a track record of launching and iterating complex systems of web applications and backend services. You have an entrepreneurial mindset, aren’t afraid to make decisions, are skilled at aligning cross-functional partners, and have a passion for technology.

• Own high impact KPIs/metrics that impact the experience customers have with our monitoring services, including our ability to deliver those services effectively and efficiently

• Research and write detailed requirements that effectively capture the vision and business case for new features and improvements
• Lead the engineering and design teams in making decisions that balance cost, timeline, and customer benefit
• Interface with other teams to drive work in areas of the product stack outside your direct purview when necessary to deliver the ideal experience
• Work with the operations enablement, customer service, and marketing teams to release new features 

You’ve got ..
