Director, Product Management - Cloud Services

About HashiCorp

HashiCorp is a fast-growing startup that solves development, operations, and security challenges in infrastructure so organizations can focus on business-critical tasks. We build products to give organizations a consistent way to manage their move to cloud-based IT infrastructures for running their applications. Our products enable companies large and small to mix and match AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other clouds as well as on-premises environments, easing their ability to deliver new applications for their business.

About the role

As the Director of Product Management for HashiCorp Cloud Services, you will drive HashiCorp’s cloud platform strategy to accelerate the journey of all HashiCorp products to the cloud. You will manage and scale a team of product managers towards a common vision and mentor them to do their best work — stakeholder research, requirements definition, and roadmap creation.

Hashicorp Cloud Services provide open source practitioners and enterprise users a way to easily provision and consume managed versions of HashiCorp products. Users will be able to deploy and use HashiCorp products without having to provision and manage any of the underlying software or infrastructure. This is one of the most important strategic initiatives for HashiCorp, and was prominently featured in the opening keynote at our recently concluded community conference - HashiConf 2020.
