Tascent envisions, designs, and delivers groundbreaking products and identity solutions that positively impact the world around us.
We are looking for creative, hard-working individuals who want to work with a team committed to building the “next great things” in biometrics. Our open roles are listed to the right: if you’d like to discuss any of them with us, please get in touch.
Tascent is expanding our team to include a dedicated Product Manager for our Access Control line. The Product Manager will play the crucial role of driving Tascent’s biometric Access Control product strategy in pursuit of optimal product/market fit, and ensuring successful delivery of outstanding, category-leading products. As a key conduit between external and internal groups, this individual will be uniquely positioned to provide product vision and articulate technical requirements to internal organizations while communicating and advocating product functions, features, and benefits to the sales force and customer base.
The Product Manager will help to craft and communicate an ongoing, long-term product roadmap aligned with corporate objectives, business development activities, and technology trends. Additionally, the Product Manager will work hand-in-hand with R&D and Engineering to help determine feature tradeoffs based on customer requirements, market opportunities, development resources and program schedules. This individual will have a keen sense of the successful interplay between hardware devices and software applications and services, and will have responsibility spanning hardware and software paradigms.
This position is a great opportunity to drive innovation and disruption into the Access Control space; no prior experience of biometric technologies is required, but a deep understanding of the Access Control ecosystem is critical, as is an aptitude for technology, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn.
Successful candidates will have an energetic, results-driven approach, and the ability to communicate effectively with partners and end-customers on both business and technical levels. We are open to applications from anywhere within the US – remote interaction will be the norm, and frequent travel can also be expected.
The Product Manager’s responsibilities will include:
