Director of Product Management, Veeam

• Deep modern data services and analytical-layer expertise. Hands-on knowledge of modern databases and the analytical data layer (e.g., Amazon RDS and Aurora, Azure Cosmos DB, Databricks, and Snowflake) and the lakehouse architecture and catalog/governance models (such as Unity Catalog) that underpin them — comfortable setting up and operating your own data environments in the cloud
• A genuine love for building and technology. A tinkerer at heart who tests, breaks, and learns, and who is hands-on enough to build and showcase demos that highlight product capabilities
• Relevant background. Prior product management experience taking initiatives from initial launch through to scale in data infrastructure, databases, analytics, or data platforms; technical roles such as field/partner solutions architecture, data engineering, or technical marketing engineering are a strong plus
• First-principles problem solving. Ability to break complex problems into simple steps and a data-centric mindset that forms convictions through rigorous analysis
• Influence without authority. Strong communication skills to engage engineers, enterprise customers, and senior leadership — and to persuade once you’ve convinced yourself of the merits
• High agency in fast-moving environments. A self-starter who navigates uncharted waters, manages multiple initiatives at once, and thrives in an agile, non-hierarchical setting rather than a waterfall one
• A team-first approach. A can-do collaborator who wins as a team, builds alignment across the organization, and executes
• A track record of shipping. Proven experience bringing new products and capabilities successfully to market
• Willingness to travel. Open to travel for customer meetings, partner activities, and conferences

Desirable

• The Veeam team is looking for a high-agency Director of Product Management to help shape the future of data resilience for modern data services and the analytical data layer — the databases, lakehouses, and analytical platforms enterprises run their business on (e.g., Amazon RDS, Azure Cosmos DB, Databricks).
• This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Vice President of Product - and your impact comes from what you build, ship, and influence, not from the size of an org chart
• You’ll thrive here if you love building, form your convictions through rigorous, data-centric analysis, are energized by charting a course through uncharted territory, and can bring others along once you’ve convinced yourself
• Partner shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering. Work closely with a world-class, globally distributed development team and the broader data community to break complex problems into simple, shippable steps and drive sprint planning
• Own the “why.” Articulate why we are building what we’re building, grounded in rigorous, data-centric analysis, and bring engineers, customers, and leadership along once the merits are clear
• Evangelize and gather feedback. When it’s time to showcase, build compelling demos and proofs of concept and evangelize new products with customers, partners, and at analyst and community events — then close the loop and iterate
• Engage customers and the field. Work directly with customers and sales teams to understand real-world usage, identify growth opportunities, and continuously sharpen the roadmap
• Launch and scale. See the forest and the trees — size the market and opportunity, decide what to build and why, then dive in to define, prioritize, and execute end-to-end product development, taking new initiatives in modern data services from initial launch through to scale and iterating with customers as they grow
• Measure what matters. Define and track success metrics for your product areas, and use them to inform what we build next
• Strengthen the ecosystem. Enable tighter integration with alliance and ecosystem partners to deliver value to customers faster
