Director, Product Management Partner Experiences

About the role

Welcome to the intersection of energy and home services. At NRG, we’re driven by our passion to create a smarter, cleaner and more connected future. Vivint Smart Home, an NRG owned company, is a leading smart home company in the United States, dedicated to redefining the home experience with intelligent products and services. We find purpose in proactively protecting and keeping our customers connected to home, no matter where they are. Join the Smart Home team to create smarter, safer and more sustainable homes.

The Director of Product Management for Partner Experiences is the single-threaded owner responsible for the strategy, technical roadmap, and end-to-end integration of third-party (3P) partner devices into the Vivint Home ecosystem. Operating as a high-impact, independent strategic leader, you will expand the boundary of the smart home by enabling external hardware—such as smart lighting, advanced climate controls, multi-vendor sensors, and entertainment platforms—to work seamlessly alongside Vivint’s proprietary hardware suite. This is an individual contributor role requiring a highly technical product leader who can operate autonomously without a direct team of direct reports. You will specialize in developing deep technical relationships with engineering and product teams at world-class technology companies, leveraging their specialized expertise to accelerate Vivint’s ecosystem growth. You will bridge the gap between external APIs/protocols and internal architecture to deliver zero-friction, deeply integrated consumer experiences at scale.
