Senior Principal Product Manager – Unified DDI Platform Strategy We have an opportunity for a Senior Principal Product Manager to join our Product Management team, based anywhere in Canada, reporting to our SVP, Product Management. In this high-visibility role, you will own the multi-year strategy and execution playbook to converge our on-premises (NIOS) and cloud-native (Universal DDI) product lines into a single DDI platform that supports deployment models ranging from fully air-gapped on-premises environments to pure SaaS. This is a highly consequential initiative, touching product architecture, customer migration, pricing, go-to-market, and enablement. The ideal candidate is a seasoned enterprise product leader who thrives in ambiguity, can chart a complex multi-year journey with specificity, and has the executive presence to align engineering, field, and business stakeholders around a shared vision.

Responsibilities

  • Own the DDI convergence strategy end-to-end: a multi-year product roadmap that brings together NIOS and Universal DDI into a single platform, covering architecture, migration, feature parity, and targeted improvements so the converged product exceeds the capabilities of either source product
  • Define the migration and coexistence plan for the installed base, ensuring current customers experience continuity of quality and operating behavior while gaining access to new capabilities on a clear, predictable timeline
  • Develop pricing, packaging, and licensing models across on-premises subscription, and SaaS consumption frameworks, partnering with Finance, Operations, and Sales
  • Lead cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Architecture, Product Marketing, Professional Services, support, and field teams to ensure the convergence plan is executable, well-communicated, and supported at every stage
  • Drive the go-to-market and enablement strategy for the platform evolution, including customer communication, sales readiness, and partner ecosystem planning
  • Serve as a senior voice in product leadership, contributing to portfolio-level strategy, organizational design discussions, and executive decision-making beyond the immediate scope of the convergence program
  • Partner with PM leadership to ensure team capacity, organizational readiness, and professional development are aligned to support convergence execution

Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in enterprise technology product roles (product management, engineering, solutions architecture, or technical strategy), with a significant and recent track record in product management senior leadership
  • Demonstrated success leading multi-year platform consolidation, migration, or transformation programs where the stakes included caring for a large installed base
  • Experience managing the full spectrum of deployment models—on-premises, hybrid, and SaaS—with a nuanced understanding of the architectural and commercial trade-offs involved
  • A track record of increasing responsibility, including leading teams of product managers and influencing senior executives and cross-functional peers in complex, multi-stakeholder environments with competing priorities
  • Familiarity with DDI, DNS, DHCP, or IPAM platforms is valuable, including technologies such as Microsoft Active Directory, Akamai, Cloudflare, BIND, and similar
  • Strong understanding of enterprise licensing and pricing strategies, including perpetual, subscription, token-based, and consumption models
  • Deep experience with SaaS platforms, cloud-native architectures, and enterprise product ecosystems, including integrations with public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI)
  • Demonstrated experience in networking or security domains, with an understanding of core technologies, use cases, and industry trends
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to present complex strategy to executive audiences and translate it into actionable plans for delivery teams
  • Experience working in distributed, global team environments
  • Bachelor’s degree required

Nice-to-haves

  • MBA or technical graduate degree preferred
