[KITlist-Tech] Sr. Manager / Director Product Management (Santa Clara, CA)

Please direct your responses to: kepstein@drobo.com

Drobo (aka "Data Robotics") is the "Small Box, Big Storage" device company.

We´re still private but doing very well (hundreds of thousands of units shipped, revenues measured in tens of millions per year, over 100 employees, backed by Greylock & NEA, etc etc).

We´ve made RAID-like enclosures for professionals, and recently and entered the SMB market. (RAID-like = redundant drive array enclosures, but with smarts, extensible, etc...)

As we grow, we´re looking for a senior person to

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT - DETAILS
1. Sr. Manager or Director position, reporting to VP Marketing, but hands-on / individual contributor as well as a manager (you´ll be hiring your team, but over time).

2. Hands-on = visit customers, write PRDs, do competitive analysis, manage roadmap with engineering, train sales.

3. Experience as a PM in Storage, technical background.

4. Superior written and verbal communication and presentation skills

5. Ironclad organizational skills and discipline.

In short, you need to have a perspective and want to own the product success of Drobo.

Want to be hired? Walk in and tell the hiring VP what you think Drobo is doing well, what you think it´s lacking to succeed in the SMB market and sales channel, and what a reasonable top-10 (5?) list of specific features needed would be (and how you developed that).

Email the following -two- people if this opportunity seems super-fun, exhilarating, and challenging: kepstein-at-drobo-dot-com and mario-at-drobo-dot-com
