The ideal candidate combines extensive networking domain expertise with a passion for innovation and practical application of AI technologies. This is a highly visible role that requires close collaboration with customers, engineering, architecture, and go-to-market teams to deliver differentiated solutions that address real-world operational challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute the product strategy and roadmap for autonomous networking capabilities across campus, branch, data center, security, and cloud-managed networking environments.
• Engage directly with enterprise customers, partners, and field teams to understand operational challenges and translate them into innovative product capabilities.
• Drive the integration of AI, automation, and intelligent operations across networking products and services.
• Partner closely with engineering and architecture teams to influence product design, technical tradeoffs, and solution implementation.
• Leverage customer data, telemetry, analytics, and experimentation to prioritize investments and validate outcomes.
• Develop product requirements, business cases, positioning, and go-to-market strategies for new capabilities and offerings.
• Use prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and AI-assisted development approaches to rapidly explore concepts and accelerate product delivery.
• Act as a thought leader for autonomous networking technologies and represent the company with customers, industry events, and executive stakeholders.
• Collaborate cross-functionally across product management, engineering, UX, marketing, sales, and customer success organizations.
• Monitor industry trends, competitive offerings, and emerging technologies to identify opportunities for innovation and differentiation.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field; advanced degree preferred.
• Extensive experience in Product Management, Technical Product Management, or related leadership roles within the networking industry.
• Deep knowledge of networking technologies, including wired and wireless networking, campus and branch networking, network security, and cloud-managed platforms.
• Hands-on experience deploying, operating, troubleshooting, or managing enterprise networking environments.
• Strong understanding of networking architectures, protocols, operations, and lifecycle management.
• Experience translating complex customer and operational challenges into scalable product solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with highly technical engineering and architecture teams.
• Strong analytical, communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience developing product strategies and roadmaps informed by customer feedback, market insights, and business objectives.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or delivering AI-powered, autonomous, or self-healing infrastructure solutions.
• Knowledge of cloud operations, observability, network analytics, AIOps, machine learning, or automation frameworks.
• Familiarity with modern cloud platforms and SaaS-based networking solutions.
• Experience utilizing AI-assisted development tools, rapid prototyping methodologies, or data-driven product discovery techniques.
• Proven track record of influencing large-scale platform strategies across multiple product domains.
• Experience presenting to executive audiences, customers, analysts, and industry forums.
