We operate a multi-brand portfolio serving both consumer and institutional markets in North America and Europe, supported by mature capabilities in manufacturing, global supply chain, quality systems, and multi-channel commercialization. Building on this foundation, Schneider Innovations is expanding into **emerging IoT systems that combine hardware, software, and ongoing services**, extending our core Health and Safety principles into adjacent domains. These initiatives are early-stage and system-driven, emphasizing careful judgment around scope, complexity, and long-term viability. Over time, this work may span multiple IoT applications, including areas adjacent to or overlapping with regulated health-focused systems. ### Location: Monrovia, California This role is based in **Monrovia, CA**, a safe, welcoming, and highly livable city located in the San Gabriel Valley, just east of Los Angeles. Monrovia is adjacent to well-known communities such as **Arcadia, Temple City, San Gabriel, San Marino, and Pasadena**, offering convenient access to vibrant Chinese-speaking communities, Asian supermarkets, restaurants, shopping centers, and cultural amenities. Compared with many parts of Northern and coastal Southern California, the area offers a **more affordable cost of living**, particularly in housing, while maintaining a high quality of life, strong public safety, and everyday convenience. ### About the Role We are hiring a **Senior Product Marketing Manager** to own **system-level market and product judgment** for complex and high-risk product initiatives. This role exists to bring **early clarity** to product decisions that involve significant uncertainty and downstream cost. The focus is not on execution volume, but on determining **whether a system should be built, how it should be scoped or simplified, and when assumptions no longer justify continued investment**. This is a senior role with meaningful influence across product direction, portfolio decisions, and leadership discussions. Currently this role reports directly to CEO. ### Core Responsibilities - Own **system-level market and product judgment** for complex or high-risk product initiatives across the full lifecycle, from early concept through post-launch learning - Identify and validate **critical assumptions** around user behavior, willingness to pay, experience complexity, and long-term value - Evaluate trade-offs across **user value, system complexity, technical constraints, cost structure, and lifetime economics**, and provide clear Go / Pivot / Stop recommendations - Assess products as **end-to-end systems**, identifying experience breakpoints that materially impact adoption, retention, support burden, and returns - Build and pressure-test **LTV and unit economics** to inform product scope, pricing logic, monetization structure, and lifecycle decisions - Define **go-to-market direction** for complex launches, including target segments, channel priorities, and success metrics, with clarity on who the product is for—and who it is not for - Translate launch and early usage learnings into recommendations for iteration, simplification, repositioning, or exit - Act as a senior market and user voice in product and leadership decision forums - Partner with Product Management, R&D, and Operations to align system scope and downstream execution with validated assumptions - Influence decisions through clarity, evidence, and structured judgment rather than authority ### How Success Is Measured This role is evaluated on **decision quality and downstream impact**, not simply volume of activity. Indicators of success include: - Complex product systems are validated, simplified, or stopped **early**, rather than corrected late - Product scope and system complexity are intentionally designed around real user value and LTV - Clear, defensible positioning for complex products and systems - Measurable improvements in early usage signals (e.g., setup completion, return rates, support tickets per unit, early retention) - Strong alignment across Product, R&D, Operations, and leadership, with reduced reliance on ad-hoc executive judgment ## Requirements ### Qualifications **Experience** - 7+ years of experience in Product Marketing, Product Management, or closely related roles - Experience working with complex, system-level products (smart devices, hardware + software, regulated or high-cost products preferred) - Proven ability to influence high-stakes product decisions under uncertainty - Demonstrated experience making or contributing to difficult product trade-offs, including scope reduction, simplification, or stopping initiatives **Skills & Ways of Working** - Strong system-level judgment and comfort operating with incomplete information - Ability to identify critical assumptions and design practical validation paths - Excellent written and verbal communication for executive-level decision-making - Comfort challenging momentum and surfacing risks early - Ability to connect user experience, system complexity, and lifetime economics - Structured thinker who produces decision-ready inputs and uses analytical or AI tools to support scenario comparison, stress testing, and trade-off analysis ### AI Tools & Augmented Decision-Making - Comfortable using AI-powered tools as part of daily work, including market research, competitive analysis, and insight synthesis - Able to apply AI tools to structure thinking, explore alternative hypotheses, and pressure-test product and market assumptions - Experience building repeatable AI-assisted workflows to improve research depth, speed, and decision quality is a strong plus ### Language - **Fluency in written and spoken Chinese (Mandarin) is required** - This role works closely with China-based product, operations, and supply-chain teams. Clear Chinese communication for documentation, alignment, and execution is a core requirement. ## Benefits ### What We Offer - Competitive starting base salary with upside based on scope and experience - Performance-based bonus tied to scope, decision quality and revenue impact - Comprehensive health benefits package (medical, dental, vision, life, FSA, HSA, etc.) - 401(k) retirement plan with company match - Tenure-based PTO and holidays - Employee discounts on company products - Potential business travel opportunities to China and Asia regions - Visa sponsorship opportunities, including H-1B and employment-based Green Card sponsorship, for qualified candidates ### How We Work We prioritize **early clarity over late correction**, especially for complex products. That means: - Market and user judgment shapes decisions before execution begins - Disagreement is healthy when grounded in evidence and clear reasoning - Impact and judgment matter more than visibility or activity volume You will have: - Real influence over product direction and system-level decisions - Direct access to leadership and product decision forums - Responsibility proportional to impact, not title ### Growth & Career Path This role represents senior market ownership for core products within the organization. Strong performers may grow into: - Principal or Lead Product Marketing roles - Portfolio-level ownership across product lines - Broader product or commercial leadership positions - Potential to advance to executive level after consistently proven successful track records Growth is driven by **judgment quality, learning velocity, and impact** — not tenure. ## Apply [Apply at Schneider Innovations](https://apply.workable.com/schneiderinnovations/j/9F5BF41381/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
