About The Team

The rise of as-a-service models has given birth to unknown dependencies that create blind spots for enterprise teams. Our product management team focuses on ingesting, visualizing, and correlating network flow traffic with our existing market-leading synthetics dataset. Our team helps customers solve problems that originate within the network infrastructure they own.

About The Role

You will be the driving force behind our network flow analytics initiatives. Your mission is to deliver substantial customer and business value by shipping the right product at the right time. This role will require you to work alongside our Insights team to understand customer needs, current network statuses, and predict future network conditions for network assurance.

You will pioneer in an area that combines network flow analytics, insights, and predictive analytics, creating a new breed of network assurance solutions. Your role will be crucial in transforming the way businesses comprehend and use their network data, predicting potential issues before they impact business operations.

What You’ll Do

• Generate and shepherd creative ideas, both large and small, that bring value to customers and the business.
• Lead a cross-functional team of engineering and design to ship product experiences that customers love.
• Stay hands-on with customers to keep them happy today, while gaining insight for future ideas.
• Partner closely with go-to-market teams to make sure potential customers understand how the product can benefit them.
• Thoughtfully prioritize to maximize the impact of engineering effort.
• Bring curiosity, positivity, and an entrepreneurial approach to each day.

What We’re Looking For

• Technical Acumen: You will work closely with engineering to understand technical tradeoffs and their impact on the product. Being comfortable in the code is a plus, but not required.
• Product Sense: Our favorite product managers bring together insights from every corner (customers, engineering, design, and go-to-market teams) to design and build the best product experience.
• Curiosity: The best candidates understand that creativity and growth start with a curious, humble mindset and asking thoughtful questions.
• Ownership: The best product managers take the responsibility of delivering a successful product to heart, and step in wherever needed, even if crossing typical role boundaries; they never shy away from the details nor lose sight of the bigger picture.
• Communication: Effective communication to any audience (company leadership, engineering, customers, and more) is key to success in this role.
• Attitude & Ambition: The best candidates are smart, hard working, competitive, and not afraid to fail. They are team first but willing to take the lead with minimal guidance and supervision.

Qualifications

• Have 5+ years of Product Management experience, ideally with demonstrated success in enterprise/SaaS software products
• Experience working with or building network monitoring or observability products or hands-on experience with running and managing large Enterprise networks
