Job Summary
Your mission
Thousands of companies rely on Checkmk to tell them something is wrong before their users notice. That means two things at once: monitoring infrastructure properly from operating systems and networks to databases virtualization and cloud and building out observability with metrics logs and later traces for the same admins and SREs.
We are looking for someone to lead that work. You take over a team of three product managers who currently report to the VP Product you fill the open fourth position and you sponsor the initiatives that shape monitoring and observability at Checkmk. Your peers are the other Heads of Product.
Are you tired of environments where product managers turn sales requests into tickets Our PMs talk to users themselves dig into the technology and decide what gets built. Protecting that is part of the job.
