Position Summary: Sr. Director Product Mgmt. - Hardware
In this key leadership role, you will serve as the Senior Director of Product Management, acting as the single-threaded technical product leader for Vivint’s core hardware and smart home ecosystem. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, serving as an independent strategic engine for the organization. You are responsible for defining the 3-year product hardware strategy and technical roadmap, expanding our physical suite from standalone components into a cohesive, highly intelligent ecosystem.
This role requires a unique intersection of physical hardware lifecycle mastery and cutting-edge software execution, specifically focused on deploying advanced machine learning and AI experiences to millions of users. You will lead a team of Technical Product Managers and work cross-functionally to ensure our devices work seamlessly on behalf of our customers—giving back time, keeping them safe, and saving them money.
Primary Responsibilities
Strategic Hardware & Ecosystem Leadership
- Hardware Portfolio Strategy: Own the definition, multi-year sequencing, and execution of Vivint’s core device portfolio roadmap (including intelligent cameras, panels, sensors, and perimeter security devices).
- Ecosystem Orchestration: Serve as the strategic thought leader on how disparate hardware endpoints, cloud platforms, and local connectivity protocols function together as a unified, frictionless, and personalized Vivint ecosystem.
- White Space Incubation: Autonomously identify, evaluate, and secure investment for "white space" opportunities, disruptive hardware technologies, and emerging connectivity standards to expand the enterprise footprint.
AI Experiences & Technical Execution
- AI Feature Roadmap: Define and drive the technical product vision for embedded and cloud-based AI experiences, transforming reactive hardware into proactive, predictive systems (e.g., leveraging computer vision, edge-AI processing, and machine learning models).
- Technical Deep-Dives: Author high-quality, data-driven narrative documents (PRFAQs, 3-Year Operating Plans) to align senior executive leadership (VP+) on high-stakes product investments, technical trade-offs, and architectural dependencies.

Leadership, Influence & Team Coaching
- Team Management: Directly manage, mentor, and scale a lean team of high-performing Technical Product Managers, fostering a deep culture of product ownership, analytical rigor, and extreme customer-centricity.
- Independent Matrixed Leadership: Operate independently to influence, unblock, and align a highly matrixed, multi-disciplinary organization spanning Product, Software/Hardware Engineering, Industrial Design, Supply Chain, and AI Data Science teams.
- Execution Excellence: Translate complex, high-level corporate visions into precise, unambiguous technical requirements, maintaining a relentless path from initial prototype optimization to high-volume global manufacturing.
- Post-Launch Analytics: Own the post launch product and data deep dives, ensuring once launched our products are best in class and maintain operability across all devices. While also ensuring that you are building in the right metrics and measurements to self-heal and monitor our hardware once in the market.
Required Skills & Functional Dimensions
- Autonomous Strategic Mindset: Proven ability to define long-term product frameworks and navigate intense ambiguity independently. You must be comfortable making high-impact decisions and establishing a product path without complete data.
- Hardware-Software Lifecycle Mastery: Deep, end-to-end familiarity with consumer electronics product development, including industrial design constraints, firmware, embedded systems, global supply chain dependencies, and post-launch ecosystem scaling.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Director, Product Management
Align your credentials to EB-2 requirements
EB-2 requires an advanced degree or its equivalent in a field directly relevant to the role. A bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive product management experience can satisfy this if your employer documents the requirement carefully in the PERM application.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Director-level product roles are sponsorable, but not every company has run PERM before. Focus on mid-to-large technology, healthcare, and fintech companies where HR teams have established PERM workflows and outside immigration counsel already on retainer.
Use Migrate Mate to filter green card sponsoring roles
Searching by job title alone misses employers who sponsor quietly. Migrate Mate surfaces Director, Product Management listings specifically filtered for employment-based green card sponsorship history, saving you from applying to roles where sponsorship is never offered.
Address prevailing wage early in offer negotiations
DOL requires your employer to pay at least the prevailing wage for your location and role level before PERM certifies. Check the OFLC Wage Search for the Level III or Level IV wage for your metro area so you enter salary conversations with realistic, PERM-compliant expectations.
Negotiate a green card clause into your offer letter
Ask your employer to include explicit language committing to sponsor your PERM and I-140 within a defined timeframe. Director-level hires have the leverage to request this before signing, and it protects you if the team or budget shifts after you join.
Understand how job duties lock the PERM record
PERM certifies a specific job description, not a general title. If your actual responsibilities expand significantly before your I-485 is approved, USCIS may question whether the certified role still matches your position, so keep documentation of role continuity throughout the process.
Green Card Director, Product Management: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Director, Product Management role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Director, Product Management positions qualify for EB-2 because the role typically requires a bachelor's degree in a relevant field plus substantial progressive experience, meeting the advanced-degree or equivalent standard. If your specific role description or employer preference fits the skilled-worker category, EB-3 is also available. Your employer's immigration counsel determines the category during PERM preparation based on the job's minimum requirements.
How does green card sponsorship for this role differ from H-1B sponsorship?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa with an annual lottery cap that creates real selection uncertainty. Green card sponsorship through PERM and I-140 is permanent and has no annual filing cap at the EB-3 level for most nationalities. The process takes longer, typically two to four years for PERM certification and I-140 approval before adjustment of status, but the outcome is lawful permanent residency rather than a status you must keep renewing or re-winning in a lottery.
How long does the PERM labor certification process take for a Director-level product role?
DOL currently processes most PERM applications in the analyst review track, which runs well over a year from filing to certification. Your employer must complete a documented recruitment process before filing, typically adding several months of advertising and candidate review. Once PERM certifies, your employer files the I-140 with USCIS. Plan for a minimum two-year runway from the start of recruiting to an approved I-140, with adjustment of status following separately depending on your country of birth and priority date.
Can I change employers or get promoted while my green card is pending?
You can change jobs or receive a promotion, but timing matters. If your I-140 has been approved for more than 180 days and your I-485 is pending, AC21 portability allows you to move to a same or similar role at a new employer without restarting the process. A Director, Product Management role at a new company generally qualifies as same or similar to the certified position, but your new employer's immigration counsel should confirm this before you accept an offer.
Where can I find Director, Product Management jobs that include green card sponsorship?
Most general job searches don't filter for green card sponsorship, so you end up applying to roles where sponsorship was never on the table. Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search, letting you filter Director, Product Management listings by employment-based sponsorship history so you can focus your applications on companies that have already committed to running PERM for candidates at this level.
