Principal Product Manager, Recovery Orchestration

Overview

Principal Product Manager to own strategy and execution for Commvault's recovery orchestration platform, which automates, sequences, and validates how enterprises bring critical systems back online after an outage, ransomware event, or disaster.

What you'll do

• Define and evolve the strategy for a unified recovery orchestration platform spanning compute, storage, and databases across AWS, Azure, and GCP
• Build the narrative for orchestrated, tested recovery as a distinct platform capability for CISOs, infrastructure/DR leaders, and compliance stakeholders
• Own roadmap sequencing across phased capability delivery
• Partner with Finance/Pricing to fix structural pricing issues (cost allocation across platform vs. product SKUs, bundle economics, SaaS vs. software parity)
• Build the business case and options analysis for executive/CPO-level pricing decisions using cost-vs-price framing
• Ensure packaging reflects real customer buying patterns rather than internal architecture boundaries
• Drive a large, multi-team engineering workback (dozens of workstreams across workload teams, UI/UX, and platform) toward a release date
• Identify and escalate real schedule risk early and keep leadership informed
• Partner with field enablement and customer success to close the gap between product capability and what is sold, deployed, and renewed
• Validate positioning and pricing directly with field teams (solutions engineers, field CTOs) and customers
• Understand the two adjacent buyer personas (security/CISO buyers focused on isolated recovery and forensics, and infrastructure/DR buyers focused on operational recovery) and make deliberate positioning calls without diluting either
• Identify new opportunities and problems to solve in the recovery space
• Write clear PRFAQs, business cases, and stakeholder updates for senior leadership audiences
• Present pricing and platform strategy directly to all stakeholders

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline
• 8+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time in enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud platforms, or data resilience (backup/DR/ransomware recovery adjacent domains)
• Demonstrated experience owning pricing and packaging decisions with measurable business impact (not just feature roadmaps)
• Experience running large, cross-team technical programs with a hard external deadline (multiple engineering teams, dozens of dependencies, workback tracking)
• Strong grasp of cloud infrastructure fundamentals across at least one hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including compute, storage, and database recovery patterns
• Track record of building platform narratives for technical, security-conscious enterprise buyers (CISO, VP Infrastructure, Head of DR)
• Excellent written communication, comfortable producing PRDs, PRFAQs, and executive-level business cases independently

Nice to have

• Master's Degree preferred
• Direct experience with backup, disaster recovery, cyber recovery, or ransomware resilience products
• Familiarity with isolated recovery environment concepts (malware scanning, forensics-safe validation environments)
• Experience managing SKU/pricing structures across SaaS and on-prem/software delivery models
• Background partnering with channel/field enablement teams on complex technical products
