We are creating a movement to unblock developers who are building the future. Timescale is a product-led growth organization driven by transparent leaders and a globally diverse, remote-first team that is proudly building a modern PostgreSQL cloud platform.

Timescale is looking for an experienced and entrepreneurial Sr/Staff Product Manager with a track record of successfully leading databases or other highly technical products end-to-end. You will be the product lead for TimescaleDB, our open-source database for real-time analytics and time series at scale built on the favorite database for developers: PostgreSQL.

This is an exciting opportunity to help build the next great database for the 25 million developers worldwide.

Product Managers at Timescale have a lot of responsibility and own the success of their products. You’ll deeply understand our customers, identify their jobs to be done, build product strategies to pursue those opportunities, collaborate with engineering and design to develop solutions to the identified problems, define positioning, and drive adoption, working closely with our go-to-market teams.

You’ll work strategically and tactically to lead your product end-to-end, obsess about the customer experience, grow product adoption, and drive business outcomes.

You'll succeed at Timescale if you are entrepreneurial, bold, scrappy, decisive, fired up in front of challenges and uncertainty, and get things done.

Timescale is a mostly remote company with team members around the world, and English language fluency is a requirement. The preferred candidate for this role will be based in Europe or the United States (Eastern Timezone).

Responsibilities:

• Develop a deep understanding of our customers and their problems, the competitive landscape, and market trends.
• Identify what problems to focus on and the sequence of steps to solve them.
• Provide engineering and design with all the customer, market, and business context they need to define and build the right solutions.
• Articulate the value new products and features deliver before we start building them and iterate on that with input from customers as we make progress towards the release.
• Collaborate with product marketing, marketing, and sales to define positioning and messaging, communicate the value of the product and drive adoption.
• Define and measure success in the form of input and output metrics and connect those to the business outcomes the company wants to drive.
• Measure adoption of the product, run experiments, collect customer feedback regularly, and adjust plans as needed. Use data to support your decisions.
• Help support customer engagements and participate in sales enablement activities within the company as needed.
• Serve as the connective tissue between engineering, design, marketing, customer care, and other stakeholders, proactively communicating product questions and decisions.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of proven track record in product management, with at least 3+ years of recent experience on complex technical products/platforms for a technical audience, ideally developers.
• Experience with databases or other technical products with high-scale, high-performance needs. Deep knowledge of modern distributed systems and the data infrastructure ecosystem.
• Experience working closely with marketing and sales to define positioning and take products to market.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and the ability to explain complex technical design in 20 seconds or 20 minutes, depending on the audience and goals.
• Ability to combine data-driven approaches with strong user empathy to figure out what/when/why to ship - we’re building a platform for millions of developers, and there is lots to do! Excited by ambiguous and vague problem definitions and the ability to refine them into an actionable plan.
• Strong sense of ownership, urgency, and problem-solving skills - Timescale is moving fast, and so should you. Trying things, making mistakes, and quickly improving are in our DNA.
• Comfortable engaging and working in the open with developer communities.
• Computer Science or technical degree preferred, or prior technical development experience.
