The Console Product Manager is an integral part of the Upbound Product organization’s efforts to build a world-class Cloud Native Platform. In this role you will help platform engineers, DevOps teams and developers consistently manage their cloud platforms built with Crossplane. This role is responsible for the console experience in Upbound. Our console is used to gain insight, ease debugging, provide observability, and is the front door to our global experience.

Success in this role will be driving our strategy and execution for extending Upbound into a world-class platform. This role is North America based, collaborating with a team based in the US, and requires working within GMT-5 to GMT-8.
