Head of/VP, Product Management (Share)

Docker is a remote first company with employees across Europe, APAC and the Americas that simplifies the lives of developers who are making world-changing apps. We raised our Series C funding in March 2022 for $105M at a $2.1B valuation. We continued to see exponential revenue growth last year. Join us for a whale of a ride!

Docker is looking for a Product line leader for our Share Product Line, where we develop and ship Docker Official Images, publisher tools, and Docker Hub. With millions of active developers globally, 26 million monthly active IPs, 25 billion pulls per month and 17 million repos and growing, this is a chance to take the industry’s leading marketplace for modern apps and extend this lead to the stratosphere! Docker Hub and our content help developers to bring their ideas to life by delivering a magical experience simplifying and accelerating the complexities of building and shipping applications. This leader is responsible for managing the entire product lifecycle to define, prioritize and bring to market winning products that delight developers and dev teams.

If you love 1 to 10 scaling projects and dynamic environments with lots of opportunities to shape processes and standardize, we want to talk with you. You can help write the next gen case study on world class PLG. This is a unique opportunity to engage with a vibrant community of millions of developers in a way that simplifies cloud-native application development.

Responsibilities:

• Hire, develop, and retain the best product team of your entire career

• Foster a mindset of 10x rather than 10% thinking

• Enjoy engagement with customers and users and iterating on ways to validate we are building what they need (not just what they say) before engineering work is complete

• Operate from a presence over pretense mindset - humble confidence is a Docker virtue and you know from your experiences that influence matters more than authority

• Comfortable in a remote 1st company across ~8 timezones - this means you are great at writing and other methods of reinforcing information sharing without literally being “at the front of the room”

• Possess a growth mindset and demonstrate where you have learned new customers, markets and business models quickly - you have experience in dev tools, SaaS, cloud service, registries, and/or open source freemium models

• Love for and success in a fast-growth scale up environment characterized by controlled chaos (sometimes described as: lack of resources, imperfect information, quickly-changing user markets and competitive landscape, and limited structure and guidance)

• Observe - get to know our: customers, product, team, and ways of working (we use OKRs)

In the first month, expect to:

• Continue learning (we love a growth mindset here and believe in progress over perfection)

• Orient to the team’s talents, current product direction, and the resulting metrics

• Compile early observations about where we should investigate making adjustments to maximize return on invested engineering effort

In the first three months, expect to:

• Set goals (OKRs) with the team
