We continue to revolutionize how people create, deliver, and enjoy entertainment worldwide. To do that, we need the absolute best talent. We're big enough to give you all the resources you need, and small enough so you can make a real difference and earn recognition for your work.

Dolby's consumer entertainment and cinema businesses are bringing Dolby's breakthrough technologies, powering the world's top movies, TV shows, music, games, and live sports to more places around the world across a wider range of consumer experiences and devices.

Dolby is seeking an accomplished and visionary Director of Product Management to lead a newly formed team focused on driving product innovation around speakers in the home. As speakers become increasingly smart, there are abundant opportunities for Dolby to enable incredible new experiences to our large ecosystem of partners that build speakers of any kind. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of leading successful product strategies, building high-performing teams, and driving revenue growth through innovative product offerings.

Last year, Dolby introduced Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, technology that gives users the freedom to place wireless speakers anywhere in a room, enabling an incredible Dolby Atmos experience without having to place speakers in prescribed (canonical) positions. In addition to location, FlexConnect adjusts for differences in speaker capabilities, allowing “mix and match” scenarios that have been impossible until now. With the massive growth in Dolby Atmos Music, Dolby Atmos isn't just for movies and TV. There is increasing demand to bring Atmos music experiences everywhere in the house. In this role, you will be responsible for defining and executing the long-term vision and strategy for the FlexConnect portfolio, managing product roadmaps, and driving execution across the organization and driving business success.

Beyond FlexConnect, you will lead the effort to expand Dolby's offerings with solutions that enable Dolby experiences to everyday listening and build a future where every wireless speaker is better because it contains Dolby technology. You will identify new business opportunities, iterate and develop potential solutions, and validate leading ideas, developing a product roadmap for wireless speakers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute a comprehensive product strategy for the FlexConnect portfolio, driving revenue growth and market leadership.
• Lead cross-functional teams, including engineering, marketing, sales, and operations, to ensure successful product development and commercialization.

• Develop pricing programs that balance revenue and adoption.
• Build and nurture strategic partnerships with key ecosystem players, including Silicon providers, OEMs, retailers, and customers.
• Manage product roadmaps, prioritize features, and make strategic trade-offs to deliver innovative and compelling products.
• Collaborate across the company (development, QA, technologies group, technical publications, sales, sales-ops, marketing, finance, legal, and program management) to ensure the success of your product.
• Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing product management team, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in product management, with a proven track record of leading successful product strategies and driving revenue growth.
• Extensive experience in the consumer electronics industry, preferably with audio products such as smart speakers, portable speakers, and/or mobile phones.
• Demonstrated expertise in building ecosystems and enabling multiple companies to work together for greater success.
• Strong leadership skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate cross-functional teams.
• Excellent strategic thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field; advanced degree preferred.

Key Personal Attributes for Success:

• Ownership mindset and a track record of accomplishing measurable and identifiable results.
• Thought leadership and clarity in thinking.
• People leadership: Ability to build great teams and make people around them better.
• Empathy for team members, colleagues, customers, partners, consumers, and end-users.
