Senior Product Manager - IoT Connectivity Solutions
The Internet of Things (IoT) will unlock trillions of dollars in value over the next 10 years as 50 billion devices are brought online. Aeris is at the forefront of this industry, building networks and applications to enable Fortune 500 clients like Chrysler, Honda and Bosch fundamentally improve their businesses. Headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices in Chicago, London, Delhi, and Tokyo as well as other markets. We rank among the top ten cellular providers for the IoT globally, powering critical projects across energy, transportation, retail, healthcare and more.
Built from the ground up for IoT and road-tested at scale, Aeris IoT Services are based on the broadest technology stack in the industry, spanning connectivity up to vertical solutions. As veterans of the industry, we know that implementing an IoT solution can be complex, and we pride ourselves on making it simpler.
Our company is in an enviable spot. We’re profitable, and both our bottom line and our global reach are growing rapidly. We’re playing in an exploding market where technology evolves daily. We are continuing to expand our IoT connectivity offerings to not only include all cellular technologies and services, but also include the best-in-class IoT device management platform, alternate connectivity options such as low power WAN (LPWA), Wi-Fi and other short range networking options.
That’s where you come in. As a Senior Product Manager, you will help refine our connectivity offerings to include Wi-Fi and other networking options. You will help expand our IoT platform capabilities to include IoT device management functionality for key verticals such as automotive, fleet, healthcare, industrial, to name a few. You will also have access to some of the most brilliant minds in the industry, and the opportunity to build and elevate a thriving company – in an environment that values innovation, autonomy and integrity.
A few things to know about us:
- We put our customers first. When making decisions, we always seek to do what is right for our customer first, our company second, our teams third, and individual selves last.
- We do things differently. As a pioneer in a highly-competitive industry that is poised to reshape every sector of the global economy, we cannot fall back on old models. Rather, we must chart our own path and strive to out-innovate, out-learn, out-maneuver and out-pace the competition on the way.
- We walk the walk on diversity. We’re a brilliant and eclectic mix of ethnicities, religions, industry experiences, sexual orientations, generations and more – and that’s by design. We see diverse perspectives as a core competitive advantage.
- Integrity is essential. We believe in doing things well – and doing them right. Integrity is a core value here: you’ll see it embodied in our staff, our management approach and growing social impact work (we have a VP devoted to it). You’ll also see it embodied in the way we manage people and our HR issues: we expect employees and managers to deal with issues directly, immediately and with the utmost respect for each other and for the Company.
- We are owners. Strong managers enable and empower their teams to figure out how to solve problems. You will be no exception, and will have the ownership, accountability and autonomy needed to be truly creative.

- You will guide and lead our development and product teams in refining our connectivity offerings and exploring options like Wi-Fi, low power WAN, and other networking options
