About the role
TL;DR
Manage cross-functional dependencies and timelines for Qumulo's cloud data platform.
- •Qumulo ships fast, with many new releases throughout the year, and a lot has to line up to make that happen: API work, dependent components from multiple teams, 3rd party integrations, metrics, sales, marketing, and even pricing all depend on each other.
- •You'll own the cross-functional picture: who's building what, what depends on what, and where things are slipping before they become a problem.
- •Key Responsibilities Track deliverables and dependencies across engineering, product, pricing, metrics, and marketing, and keep that cross-functional picture current Spot slips early, push on soft estimates, and tell a real delay from wishful thinking Coordinate with cloud and technology partners on timing and availability, and line up their commitments with our roadmap Keep epics, stories, and Jira honest and current so everyone works from the same plan Surface the right tradeoffs to engineering leaders when timelines collide, rather than leaving teams to sort it out one conversation at a time Bring structure and ownership to a function that hasn't had a dedicated owner before Requirements Experience running highly technical software and hardware programs with heavy cross-functional dependencies Familiarity with modern scrum and agile practices A strong anti-BS instinct, with enough technical depth to know when an estimate or a "that's hard" doesn't add up Background in cloud or storage, and a proven ability to pick up a complex technical domain quickly A genuine hunger to learn, and comfort using modern AI tools to get up to speed on unfamiliar systems fast Clear, direct communication with engineers and external partners alike The willingness to hold people to their commitments and chase down what's slipping
