The Product Manager owns the success of Tcat Server and other related products from MuleSoft. Responsibilities include driving product strategy, requirements, launch and market adoption of product initiatives. We are looking for an exceptional Product Manager with a passion for creating market-leading products. The candidate must have the technical acumen to communicate with and receive feedback from enterprise software developers and IT operations professionals and must have the business savvy to understand which products and features are required in the market. The candidate must have the pragmatism, intelligence and analytical capacity to focus company resources on initiatives that will make the biggest impact on the success of the product.

The Product Manager will lead the following types of activities:

* Product strategy, development and planning

- Understand the market/competitive landscape and develop product strategy and positioning

-Understand the needs of customers and prospects to drive user stories and work closely with engineering to
translate stories into detailed product definitions/features

-Work with Product Marketing and Engineering to build / communicate product vision, strategy and road map

-Work with Business Development to develop both partner strategy for Tcat Server (both inbound technology
partnerships and outbound distribution strategies) and drive product direction to execute against those strategies

-Own and drive the product roadmap against aggressive targets

* Marketing and sales enablement

- Function as a technical SME (subject matter expert) and spokesperson for Tcat Server and other related products

- Work with Product Marketing to create and drive go-to-market campaigns

- Drive market adoption by evangelizing product to all stakeholders (e.g., customers, analysts, media), including
creating technical content (e.g., whitepapers, screencasts, webinars, etc.)

- Work with Product Marketing to enable the Sales organization, including creating compelling product demos,
tools and presentations, as well as conducting hands-on sales training exercises


We do not have strict requirements on experience (e.g., "at least 3 years of blah blah blah"). We´re looking for someone with a track record of making a big impact. Our core requirements are that you´re a brilliant, creative and resourceful team player who has a passion for building great products, a keen sense for prioritizing products and features, and an cross-functional view of how to make a product successful in the market. However, this requires solid understanding of webapp infrastructure software and other related technologies, including application servers, Java (and non-Java) development frameworks, application performance monitoring and management, application deployment, virtualized and cloud environments, etc. Additionally, experience with agile develoment methods and agile release planning is a plus.
