What Brings Success to this role

Why Fortune Brands Innovations – Connected Security

You're a builder — you define process where it doesn't exist, create clarity from ambiguity, and get more done through influence and ingenuity than org chart
Deep fluency in consumer electronics or smart home technology product development — you understand hardware constraints, BOM tradeoffs, and what it takes to bring a connected device to market
Strong 4P instincts: you think naturally about pricing architecture, channel dynamics, positioning strategy, and promotional trade-offs — not just product specs
Customer obsession: you use research and data to ground decisions, and you can move fluidly between consumer insight and business case
Cross-functional leadership presence — you can align and motivate engineering, design, sales, operations, and finance toward shared outcomes without direct authority
Comfortable owning a portfolio with both B2C and B2B dimensions — you understand how the channel dynamics, buyer psychology, and success metrics differ between them, and you build teams that reflect that
A bias for clarity: you simplify complexity, write crisp product briefs, and make hard prioritization calls
An instinct for developing others — you invest in your team and raise the standard of practice in the PM function
Millions of users trust our products every day — this is a portfolio with real scale, real revenue, and real market impact across consumer and commercial channels
We partner with the top companies in the smart home industry — shaping the ecosystem, not just shipping into it
Connected Products is one of FBIN's highest-priority growth platforms — with direct visibility to senior enterprise leadership and a mandate that reaches across the business
Fortune Brands Innovations is a multi-brand enterprise spanning security, water, and outdoor living — leaders who excel here have a genuine runway to grow across the broader organization over time
Work at the intersection of hardware, software, and smart home — on brands consumers genuinely trust
A high-ownership culture where PMs are empowered to lead, expected to build, and accountable for outcomes
Competitive compensation, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
Generous PTO policy and flexible work model
Matching 401(k) contributions, life insurance, and tuition/certification reimbursement
