Product Manager

Role Overview:Turtlebox makes loud, rugged, unapologetically outdoor audio gear — and we’ve grown fast because we obsess over products that actually work in the wild. We’re a small team with a big footprint, and we’re now looking for a Product Manager who wants to own things end-to-end: the idea, the build, the launch, and the iteration after that.This isn’t a hand-off role. You’ll sit at the center of engineering, operations, marketing, and manufacturing — defining what we build and making sure it happens on time and done right. You’ll need to be comfortable in the weeds one day and in a strategy conversation the next.We’re in a growth phase, which means this role will evolve. The right person sees that as an opportunity, not a risk. What Makes This Role Different:Most PM roles have you defining what to build and handing it off. Here, you own both the “what” and the “how” — from early concept to post-launch iteration. You’ll work on a product line that has genuine fans and a growing market, on a team small enough that your decisions move fast and your fingerprints are on everything. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role with real room to grow as the company does.This role is based in Houston, TX and is fully in-office, Monday–Friday. This position reports directly to the Product Director. Some availability for global team meetings across time zones is required, along with up to 5% international travel. Key Responsibilities:Own Your Products (Start to Finish)Take products from early concept through development, launch, and beyondDefine what matters: performance, durability, features, and real-world usabilitySweat the details that separate a good product from a great one Run the ProgramBuild and own project timelines, milestones, and deliverablesKeep cross-functional teams aligned and moving forward, including internal, contract manufacturers, and supplier partnersCall out risks early and solve problems before they become blocker Be the HubWork side-by-side with Engineering, Operations, Marketing, Packaging, Sales & Customer ServiceKeep everyone pointed in the same direction Live the ProductUnderstand how customers use Turtlebox in the wildGet hands-on with product testing, breaking, improvingTurn real-world feedback into better design and performance Push the Product ForwardTrack product performance after launchIdentify improvements and drive iterationContribute to future roadmap decisions Adapt and Fill GapsTake on responsibilities beyond traditional PM scopeHelp build processes, not just follow themAdjust quickly as priorities shiftOther Duties as AssignedOther responsibilities can and will be assigned either temporarily or permanently to this position. Qualifications:Bachelor’s degree required in Business, Entrepreneurship, Engineering, or a related technical field5–7 years of product management experience in consumer electronics or physical consumer goodsExperience bringing premium products to market.Entrepreneurial mindset: you understand customer insights, spot market gaps, and translate competitive data into product decisionsStrong project management and timeline ownershipExperience working with global contract manufacturers and supplier partnersAbility to operate in fast-paced, evolving environmentsStrong communication and cross-functional alignment skillsComfortable with ambiguity and change Preferred Experience:Consumer audio or outdoor/rugged product experienceFamiliarity with plastic or soft goods manufacturing processesStartup or small-team backgroundExperience shipping a product people are genuinely passionate aboutBackground in business development, a technical BS degree, or demonstrated entrepreneurial leadership
