AV Product Line Manager

About the Role

NETGEAR Enterprise is seeking a driven, technically fluent Product Line Manager to own the strategy and execution of our AV-over-IP portfolio—switches, software, and management systems. As the single-threaded leader for this domain, you will drive market research, product definition, feature prioritization, and cross-functional execution. This individual-contributor role offers outsized ownership, partnering with Hardware, Software, Industrial Design, Marketing, and Operations to build connectivity products for AV verticals including live events, broadcast, and corporate AV.

This is a U.S.-based remote role, with a hybrid work option for candidates near our San Jose headquarters.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end ownership: Lead the AV Managed Switch & Pro AV portfolio from ideation and validation through launch and iteration.
• Product strategy: Define the long-term vision, maintain a coherent roadmap, and set pricing and forecasting strategy—prioritizing with data, discipline, and judgment.
• 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 ensure successful launches and feature rollouts.
• Customer advocacy: Represent and reconcile the needs of engineering, channel partners, and global customers.
• Technical collaboration: Shape technical architecture and contribute to engineering discussions on AV protocols, features, and integrations.
• Executive communication: Present roadmap updates, product value, and results to executives and global functional leaders.

Requirements

• 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in AV-over-IP, networking devices, or management platforms.
• A track record of shipping products in technically complex, UX-sensitive AV markets.
• Strong writing skills—PRDs, user stories, MRDs, and business cases.
• Technical fluency in AV protocols, multicast, QoS, PTP, ST2110, device integration, and orchestration software.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and influence, including with Engineering, QA, and Marketing.
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with shifting priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience at a leading AV-over-IP company.
• Background in network engineering, systems engineering, or UX for AV ecosystems.
• MBA, CCNA, or CCNP (a plus).
