Sr. Product Manager

About this role

As vCluster's Senior Product Manager, you'll own technical direction across one of three product surfaces — the vCluster platform, vNode, or vMetal. You'll partner directly with the Head of Product and Engineering leadership on the decisions that shape where the product goes next.

• **Market Positioning:** Track the cloud-native ecosystem and emerging tenancy primitives. Sharpen the narrative for technical buyers and partner with GTM on messaging that lands.
