• Design intuitive, repeatable onboarding journeys and self-service portal workflows for independent software vendors and technology partners.

• Own the end-to-end customer journey from solution discovery through production deployment, ensuring clear visibility into pricing, infrastructure requirements, and deployment status.

• Translate customer, partner, and operational needs into detailed product requirement documents (PRDs), user stories, workflows, and acceptance criteria.

• Partner closely with engineering and UX teams throughout discovery, design, development, launch, and iteration, balancing immediate vendor enablement with reusable platform capabilities.

• Ensure partner solutions integrate effectively with Vultr core infrastructure, including networking, Kubernetes, databases, load balancing, and storage services.

• Establish operational feedback loops to review failed deployments and support incidents, converting recurring issues into prioritized platform improvements.

• Provide product direction to a dedicated cross-functional team supporting partner recruitment, onboarding, deployment assistance, and ecosystem health.

• Track and report on ecosystem success metrics, including partner onboarding velocity, deployment success rates, solution quality, customer adoption, and platform-influenced usage.

 
Qualifications

• Significant product management experience in cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, enterprise software, software marketplaces, or platform ecosystems.

• Demonstrated experience owning an end-to-end technical product area from strategic roadmap through delivery and operation.

• Strong technical understanding of cloud infrastructure, including virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes, APIs, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), and networking.

• Proven track record of converting complex partner and customer workflows into scalable platform tooling and clear product requirements.

• Direct experience collaborating with software vendors, technology partners, enterprise customers, and cross-functional engineering and UX teams.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with expertise in drafting PRDs, product strategies, workflows, and launch plans.
