6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Fleet Adoption Rate of New Firmware

The percentage of targeted devices that successfully update to a new firmware version within a specified timeframe.

Target · Achieve 80% fleet adoption of new firmware within 6 months of release, with >99.5% success rate.

After releasing Firmware v2.1, 85% of eligible devices updated within 5 months, and only 0.2% reported update failures. That's a win.

BOM Cost Reduction for Key Components

Identifying and implementing design changes or component substitutions that reduce the Bill of Materials cost for our devices without compromising quality or features.

Target · Deliver a project that reduces unit BOM cost by at least £0.25 on a major product line within 12 months.

Successfully negotiated a new cellular module supplier, reducing the BOM cost by £0.30 per unit, saving the company £300K annually on a product selling 1 million units.

System Uptime & Reliability (Cross-Product)

The overall availability and stability of the interconnected IoT system, including devices, cloud platform, and data pipelines.

Target · Maintain a combined system uptime of 99.99% across core IoT services and device fleets.

Despite a regional cloud outage, your proactive architecture decisions meant only 0.005% of devices were affected, keeping us well within our SLA targets.

Technical Debt Reduction (IoT Platform)

The measurable reduction in critical technical debt items related to the core IoT platform or shared services, often tracked through engineering metrics.

Target · Reduce the top 5 identified technical debt items in the IoT platform by 50% within 12 months, as measured by engineering effort saved or bug reduction.

By championing a refactor of the device provisioning service, you helped reduce associated bugs by 70% and cut onboarding time for new device types by two weeks.

Strategic Influence & Technical Leadership

Your ability to shape technical strategy, get buy-in from senior engineering and product leaders, and guide complex architectural decisions.

You're regularly consulted by VPs and Directors on technical direction. Your proposals for new platform capabilities are adopted. You're asked to present at internal tech forums. You're seen as the 'go-to' person for complex IoT system problems, not just your own product.

Cross-Functional Alignment & Problem Solving

How effectively you bring together disparate teams (hardware, firmware, cloud, app) to solve deep, multi-faceted problems, especially when things go wrong.

When a major incident occurs (e.g., 'bricking the fleet'), you calmly lead the recovery effort, ensuring clear communication and coordinated action across all teams. You're able to get hardware and software teams to agree on trade-offs without major escalations. You're known for finding pragmatic solutions that satisfy multiple, often conflicting, requirements.

Mentorship & Team Development

Your contribution to the growth and capability of junior and mid-level product managers and engineers.

Junior PMs actively seek your advice and guidance. You run informal workshops on complex IoT topics. Your code reviews (for specs/designs, not actual code) are insightful and help others improve. You've helped team members navigate tricky technical challenges or stakeholder conflicts, leading to their professional growth.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Hard, Tangible Problems

You get a real buzz from dissecting a complex system failure or figuring out how to squeeze more battery life out of a device without compromising performance. You enjoy the challenge of real-world constraints.

Spending a week deep-diving into device logs and cloud metrics to pinpoint why a batch of devices in a specific region is reporting intermittent connectivity, then designing a firmware fix and an OTA rollout plan.

Building and Shaping Systems

You love the idea of architecting solutions, seeing how different technical components fit together to create a robust, scalable product. You enjoy defining the 'how' as much as the 'what'.

Designing the end-to-end data telemetry schema for a new product line, ensuring it's efficient for devices, scalable in the cloud, and useful for analytics teams.

Driving Business Impact Through Technology

You're motivated by seeing your technical decisions directly translate into improved product performance, reduced costs, or new revenue streams. You connect the dots between engineering effort and business outcomes.

Leading a project to switch to a more cost-effective cellular module, which directly improves the product's gross margin and allows for a more competitive pricing strategy.

What frustrates people

The Tyranny of Hardware Timelines: You'll be explaining to a software-centric leadership team for the tenth time that a 'simple' hardware change requires a 6-month board re-spin and new regulatory certifications. It's a constant battle against physical reality.
The 'Full-Stack' Blame Game: When a device is offline, it's a five-way finger-pointing match between hardware, firmware, the connectivity provider, the cloud platform, and the application team. You're often the UN peacekeeper, trying to get everyone to collaborate and solve the actual problem.
Supply Chain Whack-a-Mole: You finally secure the microcontroller you need, only to find out the cellular module now has a 52-week lead time. Your roadmap is perpetually at the mercy of global logistics, and you'll spend a lot of time re-planning.
Physics is Undefeated: You'll deal with real-world complexities that don't exist in pure software, like battery degradation, RF interference in dense urban environments, and devices being installed in metal boxes. Theory often clashes with reality.
The Long Tail of Old Firmware: You'll be supporting customers who refuse to update their devices, meaning you have to maintain backend compatibility for five different firmware versions, one of which might have a critical security flaw. It's a never-ending legacy burden.
The Impossible Business Case: Trying to justify a £0.10 increase in BOM cost for a component that dramatically improves reliability to a finance team that only sees a £100,000 immediate impact on COGS. You'll need to be a master of long-term value.

What this role does not give you

Purely greenfield development: While you'll build new things, you'll also spend a lot of time optimising and maintaining existing complex systems.
Rapid, purely software-driven iteration: Hardware cycles are slow, and that impacts everything. If you need to ship every week, this won't be for you.
A quiet, predictable environment: Expect urgent issues, supply chain disruptions, and unexpected field problems to regularly derail your best-laid plans.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes the technical architecture and strategic direction for significant portions of our IoT product portfolio. Your decisions on platform choices, data schemas, and fleet management impact our operational efficiency, scalability, and ability to launch new products quickly. Essentially, you're building the foundations that future products will stand on, so getting it right means faster innovation and stronger market position. Get it wrong, and we're stuck with technical debt that slows everyone down for years.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, the IoT product manager role is demanding. You're juggling hardware, firmware, cloud, and customer needs, often feeling like you need a clone. But what if you could offload some of the heavy lifting? Our AI Productivity Hub isn't about replacing you; it's about giving you superpowers.

We're embedding AI tools directly into your workflow to automate the tedious, data-heavy, and repetitive tasks that eat into your strategic thinking time. Imagine having an intelligent assistant that helps you draft documents, analyse telemetry, and even summarise complex research. That's the reality we're building for our Lead IoT Product Managers.

PRD & User Story Generation

Use an AI assistant, trained on our existing documentation and product guidelines, to draft initial Product Requirements Documents (PRDs), detailed user stories, and precise acceptance criteria from high-level feature briefs. This means less time staring at a blank page and more time refining the vision.

Anomaly Detection in Telemetry

Leverage AI/ML models within our analytics platforms (like Datadog or custom solutions) to automatically sift through millions of device data points. It'll flag anomalies, predict potential component failures, or identify unusual usage patterns that could indicate a problem before customers even notice. This frees you from endless log-diving.

Competitive Hardware Teardown Analysis

Instead of manually poring over competitor hardware teardown reports and datasheets, use AI-powered visual analysis tools. They can automatically summarise key components, estimate BOM costs, and highlight critical differences in design philosophy. Get insights in minutes, not days.

Multi-Audience Release Notes

Draft a single, detailed technical changelog for a new firmware release. Then, use an AI assistant to instantly rewrite and tailor it for different audiences: a high-level summary for executives, a benefits-focused version for marketing, and a simplified guide for end-users. No more spending hours on rephrasing for different teams.
