Sr. Product Manager, Competitive Intelligence

About SimpliSafe We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here. We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done. Why are we hiring? Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. Role Overview We are seeking a Competitive Intelligence Analyst to join our Product Management team and give our product organization a clear, current, and rigorous view of the competitive landscape — spanning DIY and professionally-installed security players (ADT, Ring/Amazon, Vivint, Google Nest, Wyze, Arlo, Eufy, Abode, Cove, and others), as well as adjacent smart home entrants. This is an individual-contributor role for someone who's energized by digging into a competitor's app updates, tearing down a new hardware SKU, or figuring out why a pricing change actually happened, and who can turn that raw material into insight that directly shapes our business. This is a high-visibility opportunity to help shape and scale SimpliSafe's competitive intelligence practice within Product Management, with meaningful latitude to define how the role evolves. Key Responsibilities Monitor and Track the Competitive Landscape Continuously track competitor hardware launches, software/app releases, feature changes, pricing and subscription-tier updates, and monitoring/service changes across the DIY and pro-install security segments. Maintain a living competitive intelligence repository (product specs, pricing, positioning, feature-parity matrices, SWOT-style profiles) that Product, Marketing, and Engineering can rely on as a single source of truth. Monitor public signals — app store listings and reviews, product teardowns, FCC filings, patent activity, job postings, earnings calls, and press — for early indicators of competitor roadmap direction. Turn Intelligence into Product Insight Conduct feature-gap and pricing/packaging analyses to help Product Managers understand where SimpliSafe leads, lags, or is at parity, and translate that into roadmap-ready recommendations. Partner with Product Managers during discovery and planning to bring competitive context into requirements, prioritization, and business cases. Run periodic deep-dive competitor teardown assessments (hardware unboxings, app walkthroughs, install/setup experience) to ground analysis in first-hand usage, not just secondary research. Support win/loss and customer research efforts, in partnership with UX Research and CX, to understand why customers choose or leave SimpliSafe relative to competitors. Communicate and Enable Produce clear, concise competitive briefs and readouts for Product and executive leadership — including materials that may be presented to the Executive Team or Board — distilling large amounts of information into the handful of implications that actually matter. Build and maintain lightweight tools (battlecards, comparison one-pagers, competitive digests) that Product, Marketing, and Engineering teams can self-serve. Champion hands-on familiarity with competitor products across the company by organizing employee testing programs, making it easy for teams beyond Product to experience the competitive landscape firsthand. Present findings to cross-functional stakeholders, including Product, Marketing, Engineering and executive audiences.
