Job Summary

Reporting to the Vice President, Global Devices Product Management, this role is accountable for Comcast’s global WiFi and device software product strategy.

The Executive Director will lead a team of product management professionals (Managers through Directors) to deliver differentiated broadband and WiFi experiences for consumer and commercial customers.

By synthesizing the latest WiFi technologies and aligning them with Comcast’s commercial objectives, the role will drive innovation roadmaps, ensure alignment across business units, and represent Comcast as a subject-matter expert in industry standards groups and consortiums.

This is a senior product leadership role (not an engineering position) requiring deep domain expertise, commercial acumen, and proven management of senior product teams.

Identify and pursue emerging WiFi technologies and market opportunities, including disruptive innovations and adjacent segments.

Drive Execution: Oversee product planning, development, and lifecycle management of broadband and WiFi device software solutions—from concept through launch and end‑of‑life.

Conduct post-launch assessments and leverage learnings to inform future roadmap decisions.

Lead Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with Hardware & Software Engineering, Platform Engineering, Program Delivery, Regulatory & Compliance, Business Unit leadership, and the Global Product Organization to translate customer and market requirements into executable plans.

Align priorities and trade-offs across multiple internal stakeholders to achieve shared goals.

Manage External Relationships: Serve as Comcast’s voice in industry standards groups and consortiums.

Build and maintain strategic partnerships with silicon vendors and OEMs to ensure alignment on technology roadmaps and secure access to cutting-edge capabilities.

Team Leadership & Development: Recruit, mentor, and manage a high-performing team of product managers.

Establish clear objectives, provide coaching, and foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, diversity, and inclusion.

Budget & Resource Management: Develop and manage annual budgets and resource plans for the product portfolio.

Ensure objectives are achieved within budget and identify profitability and revenue opportunities.

Customer & Market Insight: Integrate consumer and commercial insights into product decisions.

Continuously monitor market trends, competitive products, and customer feedback to guide prioritization and innovation.

Operate with Integrity: Exercise independent judgment on matters of significance, and model Comcast’s Operating Principles—owning the customer experience, continuously learning, winning as a team, engaging in the Net Promoter System, driving results, promoting diversity and inclusion, and doing what’s right for customers and communities.
