📋 Description

• Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for KubeVirt-based virtualization products, with a focus on easing VMware migration and legacy VM workload modernization. • Drive requirements based on deep understanding of VM management use cases (e.g., provisioning, HA/DR, live migration, backup/restore, monitoring). • Translate market and customer needs into actionable product features and release plans. • Craft compelling positioning and messaging targeting customers currently invested in VMware and looking to reduce dependency on proprietary virtualization platforms. • Partner with sales and marketing to develop enablement assets: migration playbooks, competitive battlecards, cost comparison models, and technical whitepapers. • Support field teams and customers in engagements focused on VM migration, hybrid cloud infrastructure, and cost optimization. • Engage directly with IT infrastructure teams, platform owners, and DevOps stakeholders to understand virtualization pain points and goals. • Monitor the evolving VMware ecosystem (vSphere, vCenter, ESXi, NSX, etc.), as well as emerging alternatives and open-source trends. • Stay informed about licensing, cost models, security policies, and governance concerns related to virtualization. • Work closely with engineering and design teams to deliver reliable, scalable VM features on Kubernetes through KubeVirt. • Ensure roadmap alignment with customer demand and supportability in real-world data center environments. • Interface with partner ecosystems (e.g., hardware vendors, ISVs, hybrid cloud providers) to extend solution reach.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of infrastructure or virtualization-related products. • Deep familiarity with VMware platforms (vSphere, vCenter, ESXi) and enterprise virtualization use cases (HA, vMotion, snapshots, etc.). • Strong understanding of KubeVirt, Kubernetes, and containerization trends. • Experience helping customers transition from traditional VM environments to Kubernetes or other cloud-native platforms. • Technical fluency with storage, networking, backup, and disaster recovery as it relates to VM and hybrid environments. • Comfortable with both strategic product planning and tactical GTM execution. • Exceptional communication and storytelling skills—able to influence engineering, sales, and C-level stakeholders alike.
