Introduction At IBM Software, we transform client challenges into solutions. Building the world's leading AI-powered, cloud-native products that shape the future of business and society. Our legacy of innovation creates endless opportunities for IBMers to learn, grow, and make an impact on a global scale. Working in Software means joining a team fueled by curiosity and collaboration. You'll work with diverse technologies, partners, and industries to design, develop, and deliver solutions that power digital transformation. With a culture that values innovation, growth, and continuous learning, IBM Software places you at the heart of IBM's product and technology landscape. Here, you'll have the tools and opportunities to advance your career while creating software that changes the world. Your Role and Responsibilities About the Role: Today, enterprises stitch together separate systems for streaming, analytics, and serving. Each of these systems come with its own latency, cost, and operational overhead. The next evolution of Confluent's platform collapses that complexity by continuously materializing streaming data into fast, queryable state that serves real-time analytics, operational applications, and downstream intelligent systems from a single foundation. As a Staff Product Manager, you'll own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the core streaming analytics engine underlying Confluent's real-time data platform. This system sits at the intersection of stream processing, real-time analytical databases, and modern serving infrastructure, continuously transforming data in motion into low-latency, queryable materialized views that power AI agents, dashboards, operational queries, and event-driven applications. You'll own the engine: the storage, materialization, query layer, and performance, while partnering with peer product managers who own the downstream product experiences built on top of it. This is a foundational, high-leverage role. You'll define a new product category that brings together concepts from streaming analytics, real-time OLAP, materialized views, and modern database systems into a cloud-native, streaming-first architecture. You'll partner directly with engineering, design, and senior leadership to bring this to market and position Confluent as a compelling alternative to standalone real-time analytical databases. What You Will Do: Own the product strategy for Confluent's streaming analytics engine: storage, materialization, query serving, performance, and developer experience. Develop competitive strategy against established real-time analytical databases, articulating Confluent's differentiated value as a streaming-native alternative. Drive key architectural and product tradeoffs across consistency, latency, query performance, cost, and developer ergonomics. Partner deeply with engineering to navigate the technical complexity of building a new cloud-native data system at scale. Collaborate with peer product managers who own downstream experiences including AI, context delivery, and application integration, to ensure the engine meets the needs of the products built on it. Work with customers and design partners to validate use cases across real-time analytics, operational applications, and AI, shaping the developer experience and refining go-to-market positioning. Collaborate with Confluent's broader product and platform teams to ensure tight integration with Kafka, Flink, and Confluent Cloud. Define success metrics, cost models, and pricing strategy for a new product area. Influence Confluent's company-wide platform strategy through executive-level communication and cross-functional leadership. Required Skills What You Will Bring: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. 8+ years of experience in product management or related technical roles. 5+ years of experience taking technical infrastructure or data products from conception to launch. Deep familiarity with real-time analytics, database internals, or streaming data platform architecture, either through product management or hands-on engineering. Experience defining and launching products in the data infrastructure, analytics database, or stream processing space. Strong technical judgment, comfortable navigating tradeoffs in distributed systems, storage engines, query performance, and cost optimization. Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives with executive-level visibility and communicating technical strategy to senior leadership.

Job Description Job Description CHIEF INFORMATION & DIGITAL OFFICER Private Equity-Backed Reports to: Chief Executive Officer Location: Atlanta, GA About the Role: The company has never had a technology executive. IT has reported into Finance, delivery is largely outsourced, and the core ERP is over twenty years old and heavily customized. The business has grown anyway, and it is profitable and acquisitive. But the systems underneath it has not kept pace, and the CEO and board now want someone at the table who can fix that. This is the first Chief Information & Digital Officer in the company's history. You will report to the CEO and sit on the executive leadership team. IT moves under you when you arrive. You will be responsible for enterprise technology strategy, applications, infrastructure, data, cybersecurity, service delivery, vendor sourcing, and technology risk. You will also be responsible for the results, not only for delivering projects on schedule. The central program is ERP modernization. A roadmap developed before the company's sale identified a target platform. You are free to validate that recommendation, revise it, or start over. You will take your recommendation to the CEO and the board with the platform, approach, sequencing, cost, and risk laid out, and then you will run the program from beginning to end. About the Business: This matters as much as the technical background, and we are being deliberate about it. The work is field-based and asset-intensive. Crews and technical specialists do safety- and compliance-sensitive work on customer infrastructure, dispatched from service centers across the country. Sales cycles are long, relationship-driven, and heavy on bids and RFPs. Deals take quarters and sometimes years to close. Revenue comes in as projects, recurring service programs, and time-and-materials work, which means job costing, work in process, change orders, and milestone billing are constant realities. You should already know how this works. Work order to invoice. Crew scheduling and utilization. Field data capture that has to function where connectivity is poor. Project margin you can see while the job is still running rather than ninety days after it closes. We are looking at candidates from industrial and infrastructure services, specialty contracting, engineering and construction, power and energy services, environmental and waste services, testing and inspection, facilities and asset management, equipment rental and dealer services, mining and resource services, and similar businesses where the work happens in the field. We are not the right fit for someone coming out of product manufacturing, software, financial services, insurance, healthcare, or retail. The operating model is different enough that the first year would go to learning it, and this role does not have a year to spare. The Current Environment: A system of records more than two decades old, hosted by a third party, customized to the point that the customizations themselves generate much of the service desk volume. Twenty-plus other business applications alongside a Microsoft 365 estate. Integration handled mostly through scheduled jobs, file transfers, and legacy scripting rather than managed APIs. Reporting spread across a legacy reporting tool, a spreadsheet-based financial product, and a modern BI platform used inconsistently. A small internal team: an ERP manager, an application support manager, a technical and help desk lead, and an open business relationship and project management position to fill. Application support provided by offshore analysts and a development partner; infrastructure and end-user support provided by an MSP. Several acquired brands still operating semi-independently under their own general managers. None of this is broken. It is more complicated than it needs to be, lightly governed, and expensive for what it returns. Comparable Technology Environments: We look at scope and complexity rather than specific brands. Core ERP: Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Fusion Cloud, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor, Epicor, Sage Intacct. CRM, quoting and pricing: Salesforce, Dynamics 365 CRM, Oracle CX, HubSpot, or a CRM integrated to an ERP. Field service and work order management: ServiceMax, ServiceTitan, IFS, IBM Maximo, Salesforce Field Service, Oracle Field Service, KloudGin. Reporting and analytics: Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, Looker, Domo, Oracle Analytics. What we are looking for: You have led a full ERP replacement or major modernization yourself, from requirements through data conversion, testing, cutover, and user adoption. Sponsoring a program someone else ran is not the same thing. You have run technology in a private equity-backed, acquisitive company and are comfortable with hold periods, board reporting, EBITDA math, diligence, and Day 1 planning. You have done that work with a small internal team and a large vendor bench, including offshore support partners and managed service providers, and you know how to get real performance out of that arrangement. You have reduced IT operating expenses by building accountability and measurement and taking redundancy out, rather than by cutting headcount or buying another tool. You have cybersecurity at the executive level, including strategy, identity and access, third-party risk, incident readiness, and reporting to senior leadership or a board. Fifteen or more years of progressive technology experience, several of them leading an enterprise IT function with full accountability for staff, budget, vendors, and business results. Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. If you have the experience required for this role, please apply. Due to the large number of resumes typically received for this type of role, we will only be reaching out to candidates once your resume has been reviewed and selected. Please ensure your resume is up to date with anything important that reflects this job description. Your Success is Our Priority At ETI Professional Search, we are committed to being more than just a recruitment partner-we are your trusted guide through every step of the job search process. With over two decades of experience, we take pride in providing candidates with deep insights into the companies we represent, ensuring you are fully prepared and informed before any interview.

Twenty-plus other business applications alongside a Microsoft 365 estate. Integration handled mostly through scheduled jobs, file transfers, and legacy scripting rather than managed APIs. Reporting spread across a legacy reporting tool, a spreadsheet-based financial product, and a modern BI platform used inconsistently. A small internal team: an ERP manager, an application support manager, a technical and help desk lead, and an open business relationship and project management position to fill. Application support provided by offshore analysts and a development partner; infrastructure and end-user support provided by an MSP. Several acquired brands still operating semi-independently under their own general managers. None of this is broken. It is more complicated than it needs to be, lightly governed, and expensive for what it returns. Comparable Technology Environments: We look at scope and complexity rather than specific brands. Core ERP: Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Fusion Cloud, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor, Epicor, Sage Intacct. CRM, quoting and pricing: Salesforce, Dynamics 365 CRM, Oracle CX, HubSpot, or a CRM integrated to an ERP. Field service and work order management: ServiceMax, ServiceTitan, IFS, IBM Maximo, Salesforce Field Service, Oracle Field Service, KloudGin. Reporting and analytics: Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, Looker, Domo, Oracle Analytics. What we are looking for: You have led a full ERP replacement or major modernization yourself, from requirements through data conversion, testing, cutover, and user adoption. Sponsoring a program someone else ran is not the same thing. You have run technology in a private equity-backed, acquisitive company and are comfortable with hold periods, board reporting, EBITDA math, diligence, and Day 1 planning. You have done that work with a small internal team and a large vendor bench, including offshore support partners and managed service providers, and you know how to get real performance out of that arrangement. You have reduced IT operating expenses by building accountability and measurement and taking redundancy out, rather than by cutting headcount or buying another tool. You have cybersecurity at the executive level, including strategy, identity and access, third-party risk, incident readiness, and reporting to senior leadership or a board. Fifteen or more years of progressive technology experience, several of them leading an enterprise IT function with full accountability for staff, budget, vendors, and business results. Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. If you have the experience required for this role, please apply. Due to the large number of resumes typically received for this type of role, we will only be reaching out to candidates once your resume has been reviewed and selected. Please ensure your resume is up to date with anything important that reflects this job description.
