Sennos is rapidly emerging as the global leader in AI-driven sensing, analytics, and control for the Fluid, Fermentation, and Bio-manufacturing industries. The Senior Product Manager, Enterprise & Hardware will own the enterprise readiness roadmap and partner integration strategy while providing hands-on product leadership for the hardware sensor roadmap during a critical growth phase. This role requires a balance between enterprise and hardware responsibilities, ensuring that Sennos meets the expectations of global enterprise customers while managing a growing portfolio of intelligent sensor modules.
Responsibilities:
- Own the enterprise readiness roadmap, including SSO/SAML, private cloud deployment options, data residency controls, and enterprise security and compliance documentation
- Manage technical requirements and delivery for partner integrations across ERP, inventory tracking, automation, and industrial-level systems on the beverage enterprise and equipment side — defining API contracts, data exchange patterns, and integration testing criteria
- Support enterprise security and compliance readiness including SOC2 preparation, ensuring security controls, compliance documentation, and audit artifacts meet enterprise buyer expectations
- Define PLC integration requirements for industrial automation and process control platforms (Rockwell, Siemens, Mettler Toledo, Honeywell), scoping data exchange, alerts, and actions between the Sennosystem and plant control operations
- Travel with Business Development to support enterprise pilots and negotiations, contributing to technical architecture discussions, security questionnaires, and pilot success criteria
- Translate pilot feedback, customer objections, and deal-stage requirements into prioritized roadmap items with clear acceptance criteria
- Coordinate with engineering on integration architecture, REST API strategy, webhook design, and deployment models
- Provide product leadership for the hardware sensor roadmap, defining the sequence and rationale for new intelligent sensor modules, accessories, and connectivity solutions
- Coordinate hardware priorities with the VP of Product and CTO, as well as the Durham, NC plant team, participating in design reviews and production readiness assessments
- Write user stories, vision documents, and product requirements end-to-end — leveraging AI tools to generate and refine artifacts, and driving features through the development team from definition to delivery
- Maintain enterprise readiness tracking and hardware roadmap visibility so the organization has clear line of sight into both workstreams
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or related field (or equivalent years of experience)
- Senior-level experience in product management with direct ownership of enterprise readiness, integrations, or platform partnership strategy
- Track record of shipping integrations, APIs, or platform capabilities that directly enabled enterprise or partner deals
- Experience managing competing priorities across multiple workstreams simultaneously — comfort with dual-scope ownership across enterprise and hardware product lines
- Working knowledge of enterprise security and compliance frameworks including SOC2, SSO/SAML, OAuth 2.0, and data residency concepts
- Ability to operate at the boundary between Product and Business Development, translating commercial pressure into clear product requirements without over-committing the roadmap
- Strong product writing skills — able to independently author user stories, requirements documents, and vision artifacts that engineering can build from without extensive back-and-forth
- Strong verbal communication, particularly in translating technical capabilities for non-technical enterprise buyers and supporting pilot and security review processes
- Hands-on experience with Jira for backlog management, sprint planning, and roadmap tracking
- Fluency with AI-assisted tools for generating user stories, requirements, and product documentation at speed
- Background in hardware product management, including familiarity with NPI processes, BOM tradeoffs, packaging design, or manufacturing coordination
- Experience in food & beverage, brewing, fermentation, or adjacent process industries
- Background working with ERP, inventory, or brewery/beverage management platforms in an integration or partnership capacity
- Familiarity with industrial communication protocols and integration patterns including OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT, HART, or EtherNet/IP in PLC/SCADA environments
- Experience with sensors, instrumentation, or embedded systems products including awareness of IP/NEMA ratings, washdown environment requirements, or environmental design standards
- Knowledge of regulatory and safety certifications (NSF, FDA, CE, UL) and food safety frameworks (FSMA, HACCP) that influence hardware design and enterprise compliance
- Familiarity with product lifecycle management, including end-of-life planning, component change control, and supply chain considerations
- Experience with private cloud, hybrid deployment, or multi-tenant architecture concepts for enterprise customers
- Exposure to IIoT concepts, edge computing, or Industry 4.0 approaches in industrial or manufacturing settings
- Experience with Jira Plans (Advanced Roadmaps) and Jira Product Discovery
- Comfort operating in a growth-stage company where enterprise playbooks and hardware roadmaps are being built, not inherited
