Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Idera, Inc. is a company that provides a portfolio of developer tools serving a large global community. They are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead product teams for four products, focusing on strategic ownership, team development, and market engagement.
Responsibilities
- Directly manage the product managers assigned to APILayer, Filestack, Froala, and FusionCharts — coaching them on craft, prioritization, stakeholder communication, and strategic thinking
- Set clear expectations, create accountability, and help each PM grow into a stronger product leader
- Foster a culture of customer-led decision-making and disciplined roadmap management across the team
- Develop and maintain a coherent product strategy for each of the four products, grounded in market opportunity, competitive dynamics, and customer needs
- Identify and articulate where the products share buyers, adjacent use cases, or opportunities for deeper integration, and build strategic initiatives around those insights
- Ensure each product's roadmap reflects a clear point of view on where the market is going and how Idera can win — not just a queue of feature requests
- Maintain a sharp, current understanding of the developer tools market — particularly the API marketplace, file management, rich text editing, and JavaScript data visualization segments
- Conduct ongoing customer discovery and competitive analysis, translating market intelligence into strategic product and roadmap decisions
- Be the internal authority on the buyers and end users of these products: how developers evaluate and adopt them, what drives expansion and churn, and what winning looks like for an ISV building on top of these components
- Clearly communicate product strategy, roadmap priorities, and progress to senior stakeholders — ensuring alignment between product direction and company-level goals
- Make the case for roadmap investments with data and strategic clarity, surfacing tradeoffs early and resolving them constructively
- Keep engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success aligned and informed as priorities evolve
- Work with go-to-market teams on positioning, messaging, and product launch readiness — providing product knowledge and market context without owning the commercial function directly
- Partner with engineering leadership on sequencing, capacity, and delivery — ensuring roadmaps are realistic and 'why' behind priorities is understood and shared
- Support key sales cycles, analyst briefings, or partnership conversations where deep product expertise is needed
Skills
- Meaningful product management experience in developer tools, API products, or developer-facing B2B SaaS — with a track record of owning and shipping products that developers love and pay for
- Prior experience managing product managers, with demonstrated ability to develop PM talent and hold a team accountable to outcomes
- Familiarity with the embedded software or developer components space is a strong plus — understanding how ISVs and development teams evaluate, integrate, and build on top of third-party components and APIs
- Comfortable discussing REST APIs, SDKs, webhooks, authentication, and integration patterns with engineering teams
- Able to engage credibly with architects and technical evaluators without requiring a translator between the business and engineering sides of the organization
- Can synthesize customer discovery, market trends, and competitive signals into a clear product point of view — and communicate it persuasively to audiences ranging from engineering teams to senior leadership
- Comfortable operating in a portfolio context — able to hold strategy for multiple products simultaneously without losing focus or letting priorities blur
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to craft narratives for different audiences and different products without defaulting to generic positioning
- Natural collaborator who builds trust across functions — engineering, sales, marketing, customer success — and can drive alignment without relying on formal authority
- Steady under ambiguity; able to make sound prioritization calls with incomplete information and adjust strategy as markets and business conditions evolve
- Direct and constructive; willing to push back on low-value requests, surface hard tradeoffs, and advocate for what is right for the product and the customer
- Experience with product-led growth (PLG) motions, self-serve acquisition, or developer community engagement
- Familiarity with JavaScript ecosystems, content APIs, file processing infrastructure, or data visualization libraries
- Experience working in a multi-brand or portfolio company — managing products across different markets and buyer types simultaneously
- Background in or exposure to pricing and packaging for API-based or usage-based products
- Track record of working effectively with distributed, international teams across multiple time zones
