Product Manager

Turtlebox Audio•Houston, TX

15h•Onsite

About The Position

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. 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.
