Job Description
Job Title: Product Specialist
Working Hours: US Business Hours
About the Role:
We’re looking for someone who truly understands how to bring consumer electronics to life—someone with a track record of guiding products from the concept stage all the way to mass production and beyond. For us, it’s not just about releasing a product; it’s about doing so with a strong internal foundation, adhering to core values, and never losing sight of what made us successful in the first place. You will be involved in every layer, from initial concepting and requirements gathering, through development, testing, and launch. This role demands a deep blend of strategic thinking, meticulous planning, and hands-on execution.
Key Responsibilities:
- Drive the full product lifecycle—concept, design, prototyping, tooling, testing, and mass production—ensuring that the proper infrastructure, processes, and team structures are in place from day one.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (engineering, supply chain, marketing, sales, support) to anticipate future challenges before they arise, and ensure we’re poised to scale seamlessly.
- Maintain a strong pulse on user feedback, market trends, and competitive landscapes to continuously refine product features, quality, and positioning.
- Uphold core principles and values, ensuring that product growth never compromises the brand’s foundational quality and standards.
- Prepare thoughtful documentation and internal explanations, particularly for complex decisions that might seem like “overkill” today but will pay dividends as we grow.
Requirements
Qualifications:
- Prior proven experience in product development within Anker (required).
- A robust understanding of consumer electronics, supply chain intricacies, and global manufacturing processes.
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, along with the patience and foresight to do “hard things” now for an easier future.
- Ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing track of the core vision and principles
Must-Have Experience:
Prior experience working with Anker. This is non-negotiable. We value what you’ve done and learned in environments like that, where you’ve had to balance speed, innovation, and rigor. Being from Anker means you understand what it takes to scale well without falling into the traps that often come when you grow fast.
