• Enterprise Lifecycle Management: Manage features throughout their lifecycle from ideation, cross-functional alpha/beta testing, general availability (GA), to eventual depreciation or migration paths.
• Modernization & Kubernetes: Define strategies to advance virtualization infrastructure, ensuring vSphere integrates effectively with cloud-native tech (e.g., vSphere with Tanzu, Kubernetes, containers).
• Go-to-Market (GTM) & Sales Enablement: Partner with Product Marketing to create competitive positioning, technical whitepapers, pricing strategies, and sales collateral.
• Customer & Community Advocacy: Serve as the subject matter expert at industry events, customer advisory boards (CABs), and deep-dive technical feedback sessions with Fortune 500 IT leadership.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years of software Product Management experience explicitly focused on enterprise infrastructure, virtualization, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), or cloud platforms for AI workloads.
• Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of the VMware ecosystem, specifically vSphere (ESXi, vCenter), vSAN, and core data center architectures (compute, enterprise storage, distributed networking, AI).
• Cloud & Containerization Literacy: Solid comprehension of cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, platform engineering, and hybrid cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
