VP Product Management
With Confluent, organisations can harness the full power of continuously flowing data to innovate and win in the modern digital world. We have a purpose that drives us to do better everyday – we're creating an entirely new category within data infrastructure - data streaming. This technology will allow every organisation to create experiences and use the power of data in ways that profoundly impact the way we all live. This impact is our purpose and drives us to do better every day.
One Confluent. One team. One Data Streaming Platform.
Data Connects Us.
About the Role:
This role is a direct report to the CPO and leads our Confluent Platform product management team of around 20 professionals, helping to maximize the impact of the work of several hundred platform engineers and drive hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Confluent Platform includes our self managed Kafka, Governance, Connect and Stream Processing offerings, which work standalone, or through connection to our Cloud offerings.
What You Will Do:
- Work closely with the CPO and the other Product Line PM leaders to mesh our strategic company goals with individual product goals and our product capabilities/architecture roadmap
- Ideate, design, and deliver next-generation product capabilities that enable increased customer scale, and consistent, secure, and usable customer experiences
- Evolve and reignite our product management approach to maximize joint engagement with product teams on customer outcomes and shared success
- Lead our Confluent Platform offering through evolution from a primarily self hosted, disconnected product to a coherent hybrid deployment model that can seamlessly integrate with our cloud offerings.
What You Will Bring:
- A minimum of 10 years of product management experience, ideally in B2B and with developer-focused products
- 10+ years of leadership experience
- Experience leading platform teams to deliver a foundation that maximizes product velocity, reliability, and consistency
- Experience leading product management teams that span a number of hundred million dollar plus products
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
What Gives You an Edge:
- Experience leading complicated enterprise products through significant scale
- Experience managing a hybrid product that is partially self managed by customers, partly connected to a cloud control plane.
