Original job description



This privately held, VC-backed vendor of Systems Management solutions has a growing
number of Global 3000 clients. Serving industries as diverse as Financial Services,
Telecom, Oil & Gas, Technology and Managed Services, CiRBA enables cost-effective
virtualization and consolidation.


We are seeking a Product Manager to join the Product Management Team. As product
manager, you will articulate product features from existing ideas, and help to develop
new ideas based on your consolidation and virtualization industry experience, and your
contact with partners, customers and prospects. You must possess a unique blend of
business and technical savvy; a big-picture vision, and the drive to make that vision a
reality.
How do you get there?




Identify your target candidate
Put yourself in their shoes
Speak to their specific needs and desires
Be friendly, but formal
                     But I don’t even
                      wear shoes!

What’s different?

About the Company
Few companies are hotter than CiRBA right now. With another round of funding behind it and
top-tier partners lined up alongside, this company is out-thinking and out-executing the
competition. The executive team are proven veterans and the company expects to grow by
almost 100% in 2008.

The Opportunity
Put your stamp on a sizzling product and company that isn’t simply leading its market, it’s
shaping it.

This role blends long-term vision, strategic decision-making, and hands-on tactical savvy. Your
industry experience will give you perspective; feedback from partners, customers and prospects
will help turn perspective into ideas, and your expertise will turn ideas into well-executed
success.

It’s the kind of job that has you racing to work on a Monday morning.

There are a dozen reasons why CiRBA has been recognized as the #1 virtualization vendor to
watch in 2008. Your gusto, big-picture vision and tactical skill could be reason 13.
