About Product Management

As a Product Manager at Grafana Labs, you’ll develop a vision and strategy for your product domain. You will own your product’s roadmap, collateral, and market research, and you will collaborate with Grafana leadership on fine-tuning your product’s goals. You will be the primary advocate and expert in your area, with a strong ability to communicate needs, functionality, and details effectively both to external customers and internal stakeholders. The teams and people you will be interacting with will be 100% remote and globally distributed, so strong and proactive communication is essential.

Product Managers are the bridge that connect Engineering, Design, and UX to GTM. You are a facilitator who ensures the free flow of information across these teams and are expected to be technically proficient when representing our products to our customers.

The Role

Our Kubernetes Solution is just one integration in our growing catalog of Grafana Cloud integrations, but it is our most complex and strategically important offerings. You will define and prioritize the features that will evolve our Kubernetes integration into a full-suite solution that can help users monitor the performance of their largest clusters and all of the services running within it.
