Position Overview

  • Location Type: Remote
  • Job Type: FullTime
  • Salary:

Render is building a powerful and user-friendly cloud platform that simplifies hosting for developers and teams. Our platform supports a wide range of applications, from static sites to complex multi-service architectures, offering the flexibility of traditional cloud providers without the associated complexity. We enable users to focus on product development rather than server management.

Our team is diverse and talented, tackling universal software development challenges with rapid iteration, a focus on user experience, craft, and reliability. We have experienced organic, product-led growth, attracting over 2.5 million developers. Our customers rely on Render for its reliable, scalable cloud with enterprise-grade capabilities, managed datastores, and advanced security features. In January 2025, Render secured $80 million in Series C financing, bringing total funding to $157M, to accelerate our vision of making cloud infrastructure intuitive and powerful, especially for the AI era.

We encourage applications from individuals with high integrity, humility, and a drive to learn. We foster an environment of reasoned discussion, continuous feedback, mutual trust, and respect to achieve the best outcomes. We particularly encourage members of underrepresented groups in tech to apply, understanding that not all candidates will meet every requirement. Our interview process is tailored to each role, prioritizing a positive, illuminative, enjoyable, and respectful candidate experience.

About the Role

As the leader of the Expansion team, you will drive the development of zero-to-one products to meet the evolving needs of mid-market and enterprise development teams. This pivotal role involves:

  • Driving successful cross-functional coordination across Design, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, and Leadership for high-impact initiatives.
  • Building strong relationships with our largest customers to gather insights that shape product direction and go-to-market strategies.
  • Championing and refining Render's business strategy for serving enterprises and scaling teams in collaboration with leadership.
  • Fostering a high-performing and positive team culture.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build Render's developer pipeline tooling.
  • Identify and advocate for strategic partnerships that serve mid-market and enterprise customers.
  • Prioritize and deliver observability, management, and security features to meet the compliance needs of Render's largest customers.
  • Build new services or add new functionality to existing platform features to better serve mid-market and enterprise customers.
  • Collaborate with Sales and Marketing to understand mid-market and enterprise customer needs and share this knowledge internally.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with:

  • 10+ years of experience in a Product Management role.
  • Significant experience working on Enterprise or core product teams, or similar roles at a product-led growth and/or developer tools company.
  • Experience and confidence navigating the ambiguous, 0-to-1 phase of a new product area.
  • Ability to inspire and champion impactful ideas.
  • A passion for high-quality, well-crafted user experiences and a strong intuition for developer tools.
  • Strong, successful track record.
