You own the product roadmap at SmartBarrel — hardware and software, discovery through launch. You work directly with the CEO, engineering, and design to turn what contractors, foremen, and field crews actually need into products that get adopted on jobsites, not just demoed in conference rooms. You talk to the field, find the real problem, write the spec, ship it, and measure whether it worked.

This is not a backlog‑administrator role and it's not a strategy‑deck role. You are the person accountable for what we build and why. If you love getting mud on your boots at a jobsite in the morning and arguing tradeoffs with engineers in the afternoon, this is your job.

Key responsibilities

Own the roadmap : one prioritized roadmap across hardware and software, balancing customer value, business goals, and technical constraints — and defend every line on it.
Lead discovery : talk to contractors and field users, run research, and turn what you hear into problem statements sharp enough that engineering never asks "but what are we actually solving?"
Write specs that ship : crisp PRDs and user stories, prioritized against measurable outcomes. If a ticket is ambiguous, that's on you.
Drive delivery with engineering and design : concept to launch, making tradeoff calls fast and keeping dates honest.
Define and track success metrics : every launch has a number attached. Use product analytics to decide what to double down on and what to kill.
Own the launch, not just the build : partner with sales and customer success on go‑to‑market so new features get adopted, not just released.
Close the loop : iterate based on real field usage — shipped is the midpoint, not the finish line.

Qualifications

5+ years of product management in B2B SaaS, with products you shipped end to end — discovery, launch, iteration
Strong customer research instincts: you get to the real problem in one conversation, not five
Data‑fluent: you use product analytics to prioritize, and you can tell when a metric is lying to you
Technically fluent: you don't write code, but engineers never have to translate feasibility for you
Direct, organized communicator who keeps product, engineering, sales, and CS aligned without meetings multiplying
Comfortable working directly with the CEO, disagreeing out loud, and committing fast
Nice to have : construction tech, field‑workforce, or connected hardware + software experience; bilingual English/Spanish

Visa sponsorship (TN / H‑1B1 eligible) and relocation support for the right candidate

A direct, fast‑moving team that hates wasted time as much as you do — short meetings, quick decisions, zero process theater
