You

You have strong product instincts, and an appreciation for and understanding of lean startup, agile and user-centered design values, principles, and practices. You are excited by the mission and organizational value that technology can unlock. You thrive in a complex ecosystem, collecting, sharing, and synthesizing input from many directions and enabling your team to continuously deliver customer value. You bring humility, empathy, and a learning mindset to everything you do. You believe in doing the right thing and doing what works.

What you’ll be doing

You will be working on the VMware Tanzu Labs Services team, helping customer product teams to design and deliver modern, cloud-native applications serving a variety of business and user needs. As a “Labs” Product Manager and Leadership Advisory Consultant, you will cross the boundaries between organizational levels, alternately coaching government product managers in lean product development methodologies and approaches and working with leaders of growing software practices on organizational scaling, metrics, and developing a healthy, sustainable product management practice.

All of our product team positions are highly collaborative consulting roles, with 85-90% of time spent in direct, 1:1 pairing or larger team collaboration. During the COVID-19 crisis, this collaboration is all managed remotely, with the expectation that face-to-face engagement in a VMware Tanzu Labs office or at various client locations will pick up again once the crisis is resolved.

You will be responsible for

Working with your client to define and drive product strategy, identifying key outcomes and success metrics

Working with the team to discover customer problems and create valuable, desirable and feasible solutions

Working with developers and designers to define and prioritize a backlog for your product that continuously delivers measurable value towards the vision

Helping leaders on the client side to innovate and iterate on lean/agile product management processes and build a healthy practice

Bringing clarity where there is uncertainty and identifying and managing risk

Identifying critical assumptions, defining experiments, measuring success metrics, and using data to inform decisions at both the product and the organizational levels

Teaching your client pair how to do all of these things for themselves

Required Skills & Experience

5-8+ years Product Management or similar experience, shipping products to users (enterprise products preferred)

Experience navigating large organizations and an understanding of complex stakeholder relationships

Experience building successful product teams and shipping successful products, including defining vision, strategy, outcome-driven product roadmaps and creating and managing backlogs

Able to break down complex problems into actionable steps with measurable outcomes

Interest and ability to teach others

Experience with Lean Product Management and User-Centered Design methodologies

Experience with agile development methodology, ideally Extreme Programming

Ability to facilitate collaborative decision-making in a workshop context

Ability to quickly understand a specific client domain and identify the trends and opportunities in that space

Experience closely collaborating with engineers and designers as part of small co-located teams

Excellent verbal and written communication skills and ability to adapt your communication style for the audience

Comfort with ambiguity. We work in an iterative and incremental way, balancing many different inputs and constantly making trade-offs

Proficiency in French and English

Desired

20-30%+ travel is expected in this role (post COVID-19 crisis)

This position may perform work that the French government has specified can only be performed by a French citizen, and therefore any potential offer of employment will be contingent upon verification of French citizenship.

This job opportunity is not eligible for employment-based immigration sponsorship by VMware.

We measure success by making our customers more productive, as software developers, product managers, and product designers.
