About The Position

General Motors pioneers the innovations that move and connect people to what matters. We see a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. As we move toward this vision, software plays an integral role as it becomes more prominent in our vehicles. Our ambition in Software & Services Product Management is to build a world-class software development culture that is part of the company’s shared vision. We are creating an elite portfolio of software-defined vehicles by tightly integrating software, hardware, and services to create complete and compelling vehicle experiences for our customers. As Senior Product Manager for Connectivity and Device Charging, you will define and execute the Connectivity and Device Charging Experience roadmaps throughout all in-vehicle touchpoints. Today’s vehicles are becoming increasingly connected into our customers’ busy lives. They are bringing into the vehicle multiple devices like phones, tablets, headphones, gaming controllers, laptops, and more – using technologies like Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, Ultra-Wideband, Wi-Fi, and NFC. They’re also connecting to many devices outside the vehicle such as garage doors and toll plazas. The vehicle itself is expanding its own need for a variety of external connectivity solutions, such as 5G cellular and Wi-Fi. You will lead the charge in crafting seamless, future-forward solutions. Our vehicles have become a hub for device charging on the go, using a combination of wireless, USB, and 120V power. We must understand their power needs as well as where they’re located in the vehicle and how they are to be used (or not) while charging. Responsibilities include anticipating future customer and business needs, building strategies to enhance the management of devices, and collaborating with connectivity technology Product Managers to shape the future of connected vehicle hardware and software. Thriving in fast-paced environments, demonstrating principled customer-centric decision-making, and building consensus across cross-functional teams will be critical to delivering exceptional connectivity experiences in this role. We expect you to be proactive, willing to roll up your sleeves, and committed to delighting our customers with reliable and innovative solutions to challenging problems.
