• Requirements & trade-offs: Write high-quality PRDs, user stories, and functional specs; balance technical constraints against user needs.
• Go-to-market readiness: Coordinate with marketing, manufacturing, sales, AV partner manufacturers, and support to land successful launches and feature rollouts.

• Technical collaboration: Shape technical architecture and contribute to engineering discussions on AV protocols, features, and integrations.

Required Qualifications - 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in AV-over-IP, networking devices, or management platforms.
