Job Description
Job Summary
Mirantis is looking for a Senior Product Manager with deep expertise in VMware, virtual machine management, and enterprise IT infrastructure to lead product strategy and go-to-market execution for our KubeVirt-based virtualization solutions.
This role is ideal for someone who understands traditional VM-based workloads and is passionate about helping enterprises modernize infrastructure by bridging the gap between legacy virtualization and Kubernetes-native platforms.
You will work cross-functionally with engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success to define product strategy, shape competitive positioning, and enable adoption across global enterprise customers.
Responsibilities
Product Strategy & Execution
Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for KubeVirt-based virtualization products, with a focus on easing VMware migration and legacy VM workload modernization. Drive requirements based on deep understanding of VM management use cases (e.g., provisioning, HA/DR, live migration, backup/restore, monitoring). Translate market and customer needs into actionable product features and release plans.
Go-to-Market Leadership
Craft compelling positioning and messaging targeting customers currently invested in VMware and looking to reduce dependency on proprietary virtualization platforms. Partner with sales and marketing to develop enablement assets: migration playbooks, competitive battlecards, cost comparison models, and technical whitepapers. Support field teams and customers in engagements focused on VM migration, hybrid cloud infrastructure, and cost optimization.
Customer & Market Insight
Engage directly with IT infrastructure teams, platform owners, and DevOps stakeholders to understand virtualization pain points and goals. Monitor the evolving VMware ecosystem (vSphere, vCenter, ESXi, NSX, etc.), as well as emerging alternatives and open-source trends. Stay informed about licensing, cost models, security policies, and governance concerns related to virtualization.
Collaboration & Delivery
Work closely with engineering and design teams to deliver reliable, scalable VM features on Kubernetes through KubeVirt. Ensure roadmap alignment with customer demand and supportability in real-world data center environments. Interface with partner ecosystems (e.g., hardware vendors, ISVs, hybrid cloud providers) to extend solution reach.
Qualifications
5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of infrastructure or virtualization-related products. Deep familiarity with VMware platforms (vSphere, vCenter, ESXi) and enterprise virtualization use cases (HA, vMotion, snapshots, etc.). Strong understanding of KubeVirt, Kubernetes, and containerization trends. Experience helping customers transition from traditional VM environments to Kubernetes or other cloud-native platforms. Technical fluency with storage, networking, backup, and disaster recovery as it relates to VM and hybrid environments. Comfortable with both strategic product planning and tactical GTM execution. Exceptional communication and storytelling skills—able to influence engineering, sales, and C-level stakeholders alike.
Bonus Qualifications
Familiarity with VMware-to-KubeVirt migration tooling, such as virt-v2v or Forklift. Understanding of cloud service provider virtualization offerings (e.g., AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machines, Google Compute Engine).
