About The Position

This is a senior individual contributor role. As Product Director of Ecosystem & Partnerships, you will report directly to the VP of Product and evolve the ecosystem strategy for Life360 — defining which external partners, integrations, and platforms can meaningfully expand the value we deliver to members and their families. You will operate in zero-to-one territory: building hypotheses about how partnerships can unlock new use cases or deepen engagement, designing lightweight experiments to test them, interpreting the results, and determining what’s worth scaling. You will work hand-in-hand with Life360’s BD team to evaluate potential partners, shape integration concepts, and bring the most promising opportunities to life as product experiences. The ideal candidate navigates undefined problem spaces with confidence, thinks in systems, has a track record of building new things from scratch, and brings both the strategic vision to see around corners and the tactical rigor to run disciplined experiments. You know how to collaborate well, but maintain strong conviction on building customer-centric value as your north star.

Requirements

12+ years of product management experience, having reached staff, principal, or director-level IC scope
Demonstrated track record of building new products or lines of business from zero — experience with 0→ 1 product development is essential
Experience working on or alongside partnerships, BD, or platform/ecosystem strategy at a consumer or B2C technology company
Strong strategic thinker who can move fluidly between big-picture vision and hands-on experimentation
Comfort with ambiguity and rapid learning cycles: you form clear hypotheses, design lean tests, and let data guide next steps
Communicates complex strategy clearly and persuasively to senior leadership, cross-functional partners, and external stakeholders
Collaborative: you know how to build trust quickly with BD counterparts, external partners, and engineering teams alike

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with API-driven integrations, platform partnerships, or connected hardware ecosystems is a plus
Familiarity with AI-native development environments and product development tools
Experience working in a fast-moving, mission-driven consumer tech company is strongly preferred

Design and run rapid experiments to test the value of specific partner verticals and JTBDs
