About the role
NETGEAR is growing its enterprise networking business, and we're looking for a Product Manager to own a key part of it. You'll own either our WiFi access point roadmap or our Insight cloud management platform. Both are central to how SMBs and managed service providers (MSPs) deploy, run, and grow their networks.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You'll set direction, write the requirements, work every day with engineering, and take products from idea to launch and beyond. We're looking for someone who knows the technology, listens closely to customers, and measures success by what ships and what sells.
What you'll do
Own the roadmap for your product area. Turn customer needs, market trends, and competitive intelligence into a prioritized plan that drives revenue and adoption.
Write clear, testable requirements (PRDs, epics, user stories) that engineering can build from without guesswork.
Partner closely with engineering, QA, and UX through the full lifecycle: definition, development, beta, launch, and sustaining.
Know the customer. Run customer and partner interviews, analyze support and usage data, and stay close to MSPs, VARs, and SMB IT admins.
Track the competition. Keep an informed view of vendors such as Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti, HPE Aruba Instant On, TP-Link Omada, and Ruckus, and use it to sharpen positioning and pricing.
Drive go-to-market with Product Marketing, Sales, and Channel teams: positioning, launch readiness, sales enablement, and pricing input.
Measure what matters. Define and track KPIs such as device adoption, subscription attach and renewal, feature usage, and customer satisfaction.
If you focus on WiFi: You'll define AP hardware and firmware features across WiFi 6/6E/7/8. That includes RF performance, roaming, security, and PoE/power, working with hardware, firmware, and ODM partners on NPI schedules.
If you focus on Insight: You'll drive cloud platform capabilities across the web portal and mobile app: multi-site and multi-tenant management, MSP workflows, troubleshooting and visibility tools, subscription tiers, and integrations.
What you bring
4 to 7 years of product management experience, ideally in networking, cloud/SaaS, or B2B technology
Solid technical grounding in enterprise WiFi (802.11 standards, RF basics, WLAN design) or cloud-managed networking/SaaS platforms
A track record of shipping products from definition through launch
Strong written communication. Your PRDs are clear, concise, and decisive.
Comfort with data. You can pull insights from usage, sales, and market data to support your recommendations.
The ability to influence without authority across engineering, marketing, sales, and executives
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience
Nice to have
Experience with MSP or channel-led business models
Background in subscription or SaaS pricing and packaging
Familiarity with switching, security, or SD-WAN alongside WiFi
Experience working with ODMs or offshore engineering teams
Hands-on with Jira, Confluence, and analytics tools (Tableau, Snowflake, or similar)
