Director of Product Management - Developer Tools position — see original posting for full details.
About the role
- Directly manage the product managers assigned to APILayer, Filestack, Froala, and FusionCharts — coaching them on craft, prioritization, stakeholder communication, and strategic thinking.
- Set clear expectations, create accountability, and help each PM grow into a stronger product leader.
- Foster a culture of customer-led decision-making and disciplined roadmap management across the team.
- Develop and maintain a coherent product strategy for each of the four products, grounded in market opportunity, competitive dynamics, and customer needs.
- Identify and articulate where the products share buyers, adjacent use cases, or opportunities for deeper integration, and build strategic initiatives around those insights.
- Ensure each product's roadmap reflects a clear point of view on where the market is going and how Idera can win — not just a queue of feature requests.
- Maintain a sharp, current understanding of the developer tools market — particularly the API marketplace, file management, rich text editing, and JavaScript data visualization segments.
- Conduct ongoing customer discovery and competitive analysis, translating market intelligence into strategic product and roadmap decisions.
- Be the internal authority on the buyers and end users of these products: how developers evaluate and adopt them, what drives expansion and churn, and what winning looks like for an ISV building on top of these components.
- Clearly communicate product strategy, roadmap priorities, and progress to senior stakeholders — ensuring alignment between product direction and company-level goals.
- Make the case for roadmap investments with data and strategic clarity, surfacing tradeoffs early and resolving them constructively.
- Keep engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success aligned and informed as priorities evolve.
- Work with go-to-market teams on positioning, messaging, and product launch readiness — providing product knowledge and market context without owning the commercial function directly.
- Partner with engineering leadership on sequencing, capacity, and delivery — ensuring roadmaps are realistic and "why" behind priorities is understood and shared.
- Support key sales cycles, analyst briefings, or partnership conversations where deep product expertise is needed.
- Meaningful product management experience in developer tools, API products, or developer-facing B2B SaaS — with a track record of owning and shipping products that developers love and pay for. We care more about the quality and relevance of your experience than the number of years on your resume.
- Prior experience managing product managers, with demonstrated ability to develop PM talent and hold a team accountable to outcomes. This could be a current director stepping into broader scope, or a strong senior PM taking their first step into people leadership — what matters is the readiness
