Principal Product Manager (Core Access)

Our Mission ButterflyMX is on a mission to empower people to automate property access, operations, and security from a single platform. Our products are installed in more than 20,000+ multifamily, commercial, gated communities, and student-housing properties worldwide, including properties developed, owned, and managed by the most trusted names in real estate. Our features are designed for developers, owners, property managers, and tenants, and our products lower operating costs and improve tenant satisfaction.

Our Solution Developers and owners no longer need to run building wiring or install in-unit hardware. Property managers can grant building access, revoke permissions, and review entry logs from an online dashboard. Residents can open doors from their smartphones, issue visitor access, and see who is trying to enter the building.

Our Culture & Values Fantastic people are the key to our success. As a distributed, primarily remote workforce, we’re looking for more intelligent, passionate, collaborative, ai-forward, and down-to-earth individuals to join our growing team. We’re driven by a shared commitment to excellence and innovation, grounded in our core values: We delight our customers, We take ownership, We are a community of collaborators, We speak up, We think big and do small, and We are tenacious.

Role Overview

ButterflyMX is hiring a Principal Product Manager to lead and reimagine the Core platform experience. You’ll own the experience that our property managers and channel partners have, relentlessly focused on how to make their lives easier, more delightful, and productive. This is a role for someone who can hit the ground running while bringing the curiosity, critical thinking, and rigor to evolve the platform.

Responsibilities

• Own the product roadmap for our core access platform: evaluate what we’ve scoped, stress-test the assumptions, and evolve the plan based on what you learn

• Conduct rigorous discovery by getting close to end users and operators, sharpening the problem definition while iterating with Design and Engineering on the solution

• Embed AI into the product where it creates genuine value, not as a feature checkbox but as a lever for better experiences and smarter operations

• Make smart calls about what we build versus partner versus white-label

• Establish the metrics that matter and hold yourself accountable to them

Requirements

• 7+ years in product management with a track record of owning products from concept to market and driving tangible outcomes for the business

• An agentic-first product approach, with experience shipping products where software takes action on someone's behalf

• Experience in bringing a mature product into its next version, knowing how to sequence a migration, hold backwards compatibility, and ship a fundamental change seamlessly

• Depth in the foundation that makes platform experiences seamless: permissions, identity, RBAC, onboarding

• An ownership mindset coupled with comfort with ambiguity and curiosity, getting energy from being able to define the path forward

• Strong organization and attention to detail, delivering projects and leading cross functional teams with executional excellence

• Strong product taste and UX sense, knowing what good is and being able to defend it

• Sharp communication skills, being able to influence across engineering, design, go-to-market, and leadership by writing well, presenting clearly, and earning trust without authority

• A builder’s mindset: you don’t just write specs and hand them off. You prototype, tinker, use the tools available to you today to explore ideas quickly, and you close the loop between what you ask engineering to build and how it actually works

Bonus: at least one of

• Physical security, access control, PropTech, or IoT experience

• B2B2C products where the buyer and the daily user are different people

• Experience in hardware and software systems working together
