We are seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager to lead Adaptec's efforts in the definition and execution of Adaptec's next generation I/O products focused on cloud data center customers.

He/she will work closely with Executive Management, Engineering, Sales and Operations teams to drive the whole product life cycle, from business planning through product definition and development and continue with current product management responsibilities. Outward focus and skill in face-to-face customer interaction will be required to define product requirements and evangelize new products and technologies pre- and post launch. As a result, the successful candidate will require exceptional communications and leadership skills, as well as being entrepreneurial, business-focused, and technically capable.
Job Requirements:
Requires a BS or equivalent, MBA preferred, and 8+ years experience of product management experience in some subset of the following areas: server platforms, storage systems, storage or networking I/O, and adjacent data conditioning technologies; delivered as silicon, add-in board, software, or appliance.
