• Work closely with engineering, design, sales, and marketing to launch new features and drive adoption.
• Engage directly with customers and partners to understand their needs and prioritize high-impact solutions.
• Continually improve efficiency and value for internal stakeholders and external customers though measured and strategic execution.
• Drive competitive differentiation and positioning between our compute platform and competitive SaaS and IaaS products.
• Collaborate with leadership to align product initiatives with business goals.
• Use data-driven insights to measure success, iterate, and improve user experience.

What we look for:

• 5+ years of product management experience, preferably in cloud, analytics, or data platforms.
• Deep understanding of data platforms, the compute products that power them, and compute use cases.
• Educational background in computer science or related engineering practice.
• Experience working with engineers and designers to ship high-impact and cross-functional products.
• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills to inspire teams and stakeholders.
• Experience in working hand-in-hand with enterprise customers and ISV partners in the data market.
