- Proficiency in customer research methods (interviews, JTBD, validation experiments) and translating insights into strategy
- Data-driven decision making, with the ability to define, track, and act on product KPIs
- Executive-level communication: capable of building narratives for C-suite, board, and strategic customers
- Cross-functional leadership: aligning engineering, design, and go-to-market teams around shared outcomes
- Experience applying AI/ML in product management workflows (e.g., discovery, prioritisation, evidence generation) and in designing or managing AI-enabled product features

What the job involves
- We’re seeking a Principal Product Manager to drive outcome-based product decisions and ensure our roadmap delivers meaningful customer and business impact

- Define and enforce outcome-based criteria for roadmap initiatives
- Make tough prioritisation calls and pivot initiatives when value isn’t clear

- Validate solutions early through prototypes, betas, or design partnerships
- Act as a senior advocate for customers and partners
- Establish KPIs to measure whether shipped features deliver intended results
- Mentor other PMs to strengthen product management practices across the team

- In addition, you will play a leading role in shaping how AI is applied both to our internal product management practices and to the capabilities we deliver to customers
Our take
Network assurance has become critical in managing private network infrastructures. However, the growing complexities involved make it difficult for human operators to efficiently manage their networks. As a result, network automation without assurance becomes unpredictable and organizations struggle to identify and address network vulnerabilities.
To address these challenges, IP Fabric has developed an automated network assurance platform. By leveraging IP Fabric, organizations can effectively navigate the intricacies of their networks, ensuring network automation is reliable and predictable. Furthermore, the platform helps improve network security by enabling organizations to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, minimizing the risk of blind spots and potential security breaches.
With strong backing from various investors, IP Fabric is committed to strengthening and expanding its market position. Through these strategic investments and the company's strong focus on growth, IP Fabric is poised to make a significant impact in the field of network assurance.
