Virsto is in need of stellar product management talent.  We're getting very close to putting our first product in our first customer's hands, and we need some to guide our product strategy and roadmap execution.

We have a fantastic platform that can do a lot of exciting things with virtual server storage that no other technology can.  We need someone who can guide the market segmentation, definition of product features to meet specific use cases, and product/partner roadmap.  We can't go after every opportunity at once, so sequencing the roadmap and building the right bridges to the right partners is a strategic role.

At the same time, there afre important tactical activities like working with our developers on delivery; interacting with customers and partners; managing beta programs; making sure the product fit and finish is perfect; and positioning our products through website, collateral, and interactions with analysts, press, and bloggers.

We need someone who knows server virtualization, storage, and storage virtualization.  The technologies, the players, the use cases, the history, the customers.  Particularly, we want someone who understands the issues from the perspective of server virtualization.  That is, we prefer a person who knows everything about virtualization and a lot about storage, as opposed to the inverse.

Such a person could have managed products at well known companies such as VMware, Microsoft, EMC, EqualLogic, Symantec, NetApp, Citrix, etc.  Maybe they have also done an innovative startup or two.  The position is located in Silicon Valley.  Level is negotiable depending on seniority;  we'll match the title to the person.  This role will have board-level visibility.

Virsto is a fantastic opportunity for a product genius who is ready to accelerate their career and is capable of playing a leading role in a well funded early stage company that's delivering breakthrough technology into a hot market space.
