Lead Principal Product Manager

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute Product Management is hiring a Lead Principal Product Manager to set direction across a compute portfolio or major investment spanning multiple products and engineering teams.

You will connect changes in processor technology, customer workloads, and economics to decisions about where OCI should invest. This role requires deep processor or compute systems expertise and a record of owning product strategy and outcomes across related products or successive product generations.

What you’ll do

• Set product strategy and investment priorities across a compute portfolio or major initiative built on CPUs, GPUs, or AI accelerators.
• Evaluate technology roadmaps, customer demand, competitive offerings, and economics to determine what OCI should build, fund, defer, or stop.
• Work with senior engineers and silicon partners to assess architectural choices and their implications for workload performance, software support, power, cost, and delivery.
• Write decision papers for senior leadership that frame the problem, compare credible alternatives, and recommend a direction. Make the investment required, expected outcomes, dependencies, and risks explicit.
• Present and defend recommendations in leadership reviews. Resolve competing technical and commercial priorities and turn decisions into actionable product direction.
• Coordinate roadmaps and product choices across engineering and product teams, including sequencing investments and resolving dependencies.
• Guide positioning, pricing, and adoption strategy across the portfolio. Assess results and adjust the strategy as technology, customer needs, and market conditions change.
• Raise the quality of product analysis and decision papers through substantive review and mentoring of other product managers.
