About Product Management
As a Product Manager at Grafana Labs, you'll develop a vision and strategy for your product domain. You will own your product’s roadmap, collateral, and market research, and you will collaborate with Grafana leadership on fine-tuning your product’s goals. You will be the primary advocate and expert in your area, with a strong ability to communicate needs, functionality, and details effectively both to external customers and internal stakeholders. The teams and people you will be interacting with will be 100% remote and globally distributed, so strong and proactive communication is essential.
Product Managers are the bridge that connect Engineering, Design, and UX to GTM. You are a facilitator who ensures the free flow of information across these teams and are expected to be technically proficient when representing our products to our customers.
The Opportunity
As the
Product Manager for Database Observability (DB O11y) you’ll be responsible for our Cloud-exclusive database monitoring product. DB O11y provides our customers with deep, actionable insights into their database environments.

Together with your lead PM, you’ll also be putting together and finalizing packaging and pricing proposals as we work towards a full launch.
In addition to external requirements, you’ll also be working with other teams across the Observability department to ensure the DB O11y experience is tightly woven into our overall Grafana Cloud suite of products. This means integrating the product into the Asserts knowledge graph so that our customers have a seamless monitoring experience where they can easily navigate between different layers of their architecture as they triage issues using our product.
