The Role
Logitech is transitioning from a company known for building great hardware to becoming a company that is known for creating great software and services.
We have huge ambitions in this space and are looking for a technical software project manager, a key member of the Logitech Gaming Software team, to partner closely with product management, design, engineering and QA to help us create software experiences that make Logitech stand apart from our competitors, by building groundbreaking software.
Your Contribution
Ownership: You will be responsible for one or more projects dealing with User Interface/Frontend software development for different Logitech’s Gaming product lines, e.g. audio headsets, keyboards and mice. You will drive feature delivery supporting Logitech’s products on desktop and/or cloud applications. Within software engineering, you will work with a global team of internal and outsourced engineers.
Feasibility Assessment: You will be part of a team of technical project and program managers, tasked with driving highly desirable, viable and technically feasible products. While product management owns defining what we build and the design team owns the experience, you will be expected to contribute technical and execution expertise, leveraging a network of experts on the engineering team.
Project Management: You will be responsible for driving the delivery of desktop and/or cloud software using agile methodologies, acting as a scrum master. You will provide timely status to key stakeholders and manage project risks to ensure on-time delivery. This is a complex task, involving coordination with software engineering, design and product management in a globally distributed software development environment. You will also be aligning software delivery with firmware and hardware engineering as needed.
Technical Approach: On your projects, you will need to build a thorough understanding of our product’s software architecture, provide strong technical guidance, and form close working relationships with key stakeholders.

Small Company. Big Products
Logitech is the sweet spot for people who are passionate about products, making a mark, and having fun doing it. As a company, we’re small and flexible enough for every person to take initiative and make things happen. But we’re big enough in our portfolio and reach for those actions to have a global impact. That’s a pretty sweet spot to be in and we’re always striving to keep it that way.
