About the team

In this role, you will drive customer adoption across OCI Container Services through clear portfolio positioning, coordinated launches, technical field enablement, and repeatable go-to-market programs that help customers evaluate, adopt, and expand their use of OCI.

Description

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking an Outbound Product Manager to help customers understand and adopt the Container Services portfolio, including Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE), Container Instances, and Functions. You will connect individual service capabilities into clear customer use cases, communicate architectural and business value, and help customers choose appropriate solutions for their workloads.

This is an individual contributor role with ownership of outbound programs across the portfolio. Working closely with service product managers, engineering, product marketing, solutions architects, and field teams, you will develop positioning, coordinate launches, deliver enablement, and execute adoption programs. You will also bring customer and competitive insights back to product teams, helping translate market needs into actionable recommendations.

The ideal candidate brings:

• 5+ years of relevant experience in product management, technical product marketing, solutions architecture, or related cloud technology roles.
• Strong technical understanding of Kubernetes, containers, serverless applications, and cloud infrastructure, with familiarity across DevOps workflows, security, networking, and cloud economics.
• Experience executing product launches, technical go-to-market programs, field enablement, or customer adoption initiatives.
• The ability to turn complex capabilities into clear positioning, presentations, solution briefs, and customer-facing technical content.
• Strong customer research and analytical skills, including experience using market feedback, adoption data, or competitive evaluations to guide decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage workstreams, coordinate across teams, and deliver results through clear communication and influence.

Work with solutions architects to develop demonstrations and architecture examples, and deliver training that helps teams qualify opportunities and guide customer evaluations.
• Customer adoption programs: Execute workshops, onboarding initiatives, and targeted programs that help customers move from interest to evaluation and production use. Identify recurring adoption barriers and coordinate improvements with product, solutions architecture, and field teams.
• Market and competitive insight: Gather evidence from customer discussions, competitive evaluations, win/loss reviews, and partner feedback. Maintain practical guidance on architectural tradeoffs, operational considerations, and total cost of ownership.

Partner with service product managers to inform priorities and communicate relevant product improvements back to the field.
