Job Summary As a Senior Product Manager for Solution Design within the Partner Ecosystem Solution Development team, you will own the design and definition of partner‑led solutions built jointly with strategic technology partners. You will translate partner and market needs into clear requirements and technical designs, recommend which solutions enter and advance through the incubation pipeline, and shape the technical form of each joint solution alongside partner product and engineering teams. You sit at the intersection of product, technology, and partnerships, turning ambiguous partner opportunities into validated, buildable, commercially sound solution designs. This role helps determine what we build with our partners and why. You will work cross‑functionally with Product Management, Partners & Alliances, Solution Development, Market Development, and Solution Delivery to ensure each solution is technically sound, aligned to market demand, and ready to scale. Responsibilities Solution Requirements & Definition Translate partner capabilities and market needs into clear product requirements, specifications, and measurable success criteria. Author and maintain solution requirements and solution definition documents that guide development teams from concept to validated design. Define use cases, target outcomes, and acceptance criteria for each joint solution, and validate them with partners, customers, and internal stakeholders before committing build resources. Technical Design Define the technical shape of joint solutions in partnership with partner product and engineering teams and internal architects, spanning infrastructure, networking, and AI/data center architectures. Make and document key design decisions and trade‑offs, balancing technical feasibility, cost, time‑to‑market, and customer value. Drive resolution of open technical questions across the solution lifecycle and keep designs coherent. Codify reference architectures into repeatable, configurable designs that solution design and delivery teams use to execute customer engagements without redesign. Roadmap & Portfolio Maintain prioritization and the roadmap for which partner solutions are designed and advanced through the incubation pipeline. Build the business case for each candidate solution: market opportunity, partner commitment, technical viability, and expected outcomes. Track the solution portfolio across stages, balancing near‑term delivery against longer‑term bets, and make clear go / no‑go and sequencing recommendations to leadership. Cross‑Functional Collaboration Act as a central design and product point of contact across Product Management, Partners & Alliances, Solution Development, Market Development, and Solution Delivery. Align partner business development, product, and internal stakeholders on solution scope, design direction, and priorities. Partner with Market Development on go‑to‑market strategy and launch readiness for each solution. Lead design reviews and stage gates, and synthesize feedback into stronger solution definitions. Qualifications 7+ years in product management, solution design, or technical solution development within a technology, infrastructure, or partner ecosystem environment. Demonstrated ownership of products or solutions from requirements through technical design and launch. Strong technical fluency across infrastructure, networking, and/or AI/data center architectures, sufficient to lead design decisions with partner engineering teams (hands‑on engineering not required). Proven ability to write clear business cases, solution requirements, go‑to‑market strategy, and reference architecture documentation. Experience prioritizing a roadmap or portfolio and building business cases for investment. Excellent communication skills, including aligning technical and commercial stakeholders and presenting design recommendations to leadership. Experience with strategic technology partners or joint solution development strongly preferred. Bachelor’s degree in a technical, business, or related field; equivalent experience considered.
