Director, Product Management - Data Collection, Transformation, and Ingest | Germany | Remote
About the role
The Opportunity:
As a Director on the Grafana Labs Product Management team, you’ll develop vision and strategy for a broad product domain, align multiple teams around clear priorities, and ensure product decisions support customer outcomes and Grafana Labs’ business objectives. You’ll own the roadmap, deeply understand customers and the market, and communicate product direction, tradeoffs, and outcomes clearly to customers, senior leadership, and cross-functional partners.
Product Managers work closely with Engineering, Design, Technical Writing, Developer Advocacy, Analytics, Product Marketing, and GTM to build and ship products that meet the needs of our very technical customer base. This includes shaping the product story and positioning, supporting launch and field enablement, and helping define pricing and packaging models that reflect the value customers receive while enabling Grafana Labs to capture that value in a way customers can understand and accept.
Grafana Labs is building for an AI-first world, and Product Management is accountable for helping define what that means for our products, customers, and the observability industry at-large. We expect PM leaders to actively build fluency with AI tools and workflows, identify where AI can create meaningful customer value, and think strategically about how our products should evolve as users increasingly work with and through AI systems.
What You’ll Be Doing:
As the Director of Product for Data Collection, Transformation, and Ingestion, you will lead the product strategy for the systems and experiences that help customers generate, collect, transform, and ingest telemetry data into Grafana Cloud, then make that data available for fast, reliable, cost-effective querying.
This product domain spans the full telemetry journey: from telemetry generation and instrumentation, through collection, transformation, ingestion, and querying. This includes OpenTelemetry SDKs and instrumentation libraries, Grafana Beyla, the OpenTelemetry Collector, and Grafana Alloy. It also includes Adaptive Telemetry, a Grafana Cloud capability that helps customers control telemetry volume and cost while preserving signal.
