Our mission is to revolutionize automotive selling, buying, and ownership through a superior connected vehicle experience. Headquartered in Arlington, TX, Ikon has reached a major milestone: ~1 million vehicles protected/installed as of December 2, 2025.

Build the product platform powering -1 million connected vehicles—turning telematics, dealer-branded mobile experiences, and data into measurable dealership revenue and increased customer lifetime value. This is staff-level ownership at real-world scale.

• Lead cross-functional alignment across engineering, design, data, support, sales/GTM, and executive stakeholders
• Own platform capabilities such as APIs, event flows, instrumentation, observability, data quality, privacy-by-design, and system reliability expectations
• Define success metrics and build instrumentation plans to measure adoption, retention, and revenue impact
• Conduct dealership and end-user discovery to validate needs and refine product direction
• Influence go-to-market strategy including packaging, positioning, and launch plans
• Drive execution excellence: write high-quality PRDs, prioritize effectively, manage tradeoffs, and deliver iterative, measurable outcomes

Must-Have Qualifications

• 10+ years of product management experience (or equivalent technical/product leadership) with ownership of complex products from concept through launch
• Demonstrated success leading multi-team initiatives in ambiguous environments, influencing technical roadmaps, and aligning senior stakeholders
• Strong technical fluency with APIs, event-driven systems, data flows, system performance, reliability, and instrumentation
• Proven data-driven product approach with experience defining KPIs, owning dashboards, and making prioritization decisions based on measurable impact
• Experience building B2B products and/or platform ecosystems (APIs, internal platforms, developer experience)
• Experience with IoT, telematics, or connected device ecosystems (hardware + software + data integration)
• Experience with mobile product experiences and lifecycle engagement loops (notifications, retention, reminders, etc.)
• Experience working with privacy, consent, and sensitive data (e.g., location or regulated data environments)
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to create structured narratives and executive-ready documentation
