About the role:

We are looking for a product manager to join the team building out enterprise-grade identity and access management (IAM) product, integrations, and workflows. You’ll operate with one foot in the factory and one foot in the field, bridging between our customers and our engineering team. You’ll translate the IAM needs of enterprise businesses across the Chronosphere observability platform, focusing on a wide range of areas including authentication, fine-grained access control, and access management. You must be comfortable with a deeply technical product that serves a deeply technical audience. 

Qualifications

You will:

• Perform primary research, interviewing end-users and buyers to deeply understand the IAM needs of traditional enterprises. 

• Partner with engineers and technical stakeholders to articulate, scope, and deliver well integrated IAM products and workflows.

• Track the stability and reliability of your product with an eye towards enterprise-grade performance.

• Set KPIs to articulate and measure intended value and impact for customers.

• Develop comprehensive roadmaps and deliverable plans to achieve stated outcomes for customers and the business. 

• Communicate priorities and the roadmap, and align the team around them.

• Manage the backlog, groom stories, and break down tasks.

• Partner across teams to ensure cohesive features and workflows across the platform.

• Coordinate with product marketing on positioning and messaging.

• Drive clarity.

What you will achieve:

In your first 30 days, you’ll dive deep into the market and user base and in-flight development projects. You’ll meet our existing customers, ride along on end-user interviews, and observe stand-ups and other sprint ceremonies. You’ll take on a project as product owner. You’ll spend most of your time on delivery and validation, generating buildable projects for the short-term future.

Within three months, as we charter new projects, you’ll be the product owner from the beginning. You will drive your own research and set KPIs for your area. You’ll seek the input that you need to make highly informed decisions. The team will look to you as the authority on the customers and the feature set.

You have:

• 8+ years of experience as a product manager, with experience working on an enterprise software product.

• 5+ years working with Identity & Access Management products and platforms.

• Strong understanding of authentication, identity, authorization, SSO standards and protocols.  

• Hands-on experience with the major protocols and identity providers: AWS, Azure, Google, Okta,  and Active Directory for on-premise. 

• A track record of delivering software with agile processes and tight feedback loops.

• Experience in building and operating software as a service.

• An obsession with getting the little details right.

• No fear of diving deep into the world of cloud native monitoring: Docker, Kubernetes, and Prometheus.
