Using a structured product management approach and best practices, the Velocity Product Manager will ensure that each Velocity solution delivers measurable value and grows FORTÉ’s market share in scalable AV solution sales.

Additionally, this role will focus on expanding Velocity’s reach internationally, adapting offerings to meet regional requirements and ensuring the Velocity catalog’s demand in new markets.

The Velocity Product Manager also works closely with the Sales team to create the technical vision and strategy for project conception and solution design through presentations, demonstrations, and business documentation.

The role requires demonstrated knowledge of AV design principles, budget considerations, and delivery processes, with the ability to communicate that information clearly in both oral and written form.

Own the Velocity product portfolio and end-to-end lifecycle, including product definition, certification, launch, adoption, annual refreshes, optimization, and retirement.
Develop and maintain a forward-looking roadmap aligned with customer needs, technology trends, business strategy, regional requirements, and sales opportunities.
Define and track KPIs for adoption, revenue, product mix, profitability, sales activity, and market performance; use data to prioritize improvements and new product opportunities.
Conduct ongoing customer, market, and competitive analysis to identify demand trends, unmet needs, emerging technologies, differentiators, and opportunities to grow Velocity market share.
Partner with Sales to support product launches, strategic opportunities, customer conversations, product positioning, training, and sales-enablement materials that make Velocity easier to understand and sell.
Apply AV/UC technical knowledge to validate product selection, compatibility, system functionality, bills of material, installation requirements, network considerations, and deployment readiness for standardized Velocity solutions.
Partner with Engineering, Technical Services, manufacturers, and operations teams to test new products and technologies, resolve technical risks, and ensure products can be deployed consistently at scale.
Lead cross-functional product development and release activity, aligning requirements, timelines, responsibilities, testing, documentation, pricing, operational readiness, and go-to-market plans.
Serve as the primary product liaison across Sales, Engineering, Operations, Procurement, Velocity, and manufacturer partners to maintain alignment on priorities and product decisions.
Support additional Velocity product strategy, technical evaluation, sales-enablement, market-development, and cross-functional initiatives as assigned; all responsibilities are handled in a satisfactory and timely manner.
