About the Team
The Product Management team at Rubrik defines the strategy for our leading cyber-resilience platform. Within this organization, the Platforms Team owns the foundational layers—the hardware, virtual on-premises platforms, and APIs—that underpin every product we sell. We are a global team, partnering closely with Engineering and Sales Engineering to shape how Rubrik is sized and operated across diverse cloud-connected architectures.
About the Role
As a Product Manager on the Platforms team, you will lead the end-to-end workload sizing roadmap. You will manage two interconnected tracks: a tactical roadmap coordinating sizing inputs (cost, capacity, performance) from PMs across Rubrik, and a strategic roadmap leveraging AI to unlock self-service sizing and predictive guidance. Your primary customer is the global Sales Engineering community. You will conduct deep, ongoing research to understand their pain points and workflows — this is a role with fast, direct feedback loops where your users will tell you immediately what's working and what isn't.
Key Responsibilities
- Craft and articulate a clear sizing strategy that aligns with Rubrik’s long-term growth and commercial goals.
- Manage the tactical sizing backlog, resolving obstacles swiftly to maintain a high bar for product quality.
- Proactively engage with the SE community to empathize with pain points and design end-to-end tool experiences that ensure viability.
- Act as a thought-partner to engineering to arrive at a prioritized backlog, applying systems thinking to understand architectural impacts.
- Clearly articulate the business value of product decisions and monitor performance to maximize commercial outcomes.
- Drive decisions to resolution by navigating conflicting viewpoints and leading cross-functional teams to execute at scale.
- Support third-party hardware qualification and partner coordination; collaborate effectively with engineering and product teams across the US and India.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 2+ years of PM experience in B2B enterprise software, preferably within infrastructure or platform technologies.
- Ability to analyze market data and trends to foresee opportunities for sizing automation and AI integration.
- Experience with or demonstrated passion for applying AI to improve products, tools, and workflows
- Proficiency in using customer adoption and success metrics to refine the product roadmap.
- Subject matter expertise to drive iterative developments and build deep trust with engineering counterparts.
- Demonstrated ability to influence peers and show leadership agility when learning and adapting to new challenges.
- Strong ability to translate complex technical architecture into clear, actionable plans for stakeholders.
- Bachelor’s degree in a technical or business field; MBA preferred.
