We sit at the core of the Splunk Platform, bridging product, engineering, and operations to eliminate friction across the customer’s Splunk experience and service lifecycleWe are a tight-knit, highly technical group of PMs who thrive in a fast-paced environment where ambiguity is the norm. We value data-driven decision-making, customer compassion, and a strong bias for action. Our work directly influences critical business outcomes—driving adoption, accelerating revenue, and powering next-generation offerings — while redefining the end-to-end platform experience.  

 

Your Impact  

  • Product Strategy & Vision: Define and drive the strategy for internal engineering platforms and AI-driven productivity tools, ensuring alignment with broader business outcomes.

  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with engineering leads and platform teams to align priorities, unblock delivery, and translate user feedback into actionable, measurable requirements. 

  • AI Adoption & Innovation: Lead the strategic direction for AI tooling, including build-vs-buy analysis, migration planning, and the creation of a skills/prompts marketplace to enable repeatable workflows. 

  • Data-Driven Optimization: Monitor engineering productivity and sentiment using DORA metrics and surveys to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement. 

  • Thought Leadership & Advocacy: Represent Cisco in high-value forums and evangelize product vision across business units, sales teams, and the broader industry. 

  • Community & Operations: Foster an innovation culture through hackathons, conduct user research to improve UX, and manage clear communication regarding product roadmaps, feature releases, and deprecations. 

  • Strategic Influence: Serve as a leader within the Product Management community, providing deep technical insight and shaping organizational strategy across portfolios. 

 

Minimum Qualifications  

  • Bachelors + 15 years of related experience, or Masters + 12 years of related experience.

  • Consistent track record of driving delivery across engineering, operations, and business partners for large-scale platforms.  

  • Proficiency in defining and tracking product metrics to advise prioritization and demonstrate business impact.

Preferred Qualifications  

  • Exceptional ability to navigate complex, evolving problem spaces and drive clarity for the team.  

  • Strong partner management skills with the ability to align multi-functional teams without direct authority.  

  • A deep passion for improving end-to-end user experiences through insight and design thinking.  

  • Familiarity with automation, provisioning systems, and platform standardization initiatives.  

  • Excellent ability to articulate complex technical strategies to both technical and executive audiences.
