About The Position

DoiT is seeking a Principal Technical Product Owner to lead the strategy, rapid delivery, and iteration for the DoiT Partner Platform. This platform is designed to empower cloud partners, resellers, and service providers to effectively operate, monetize, and scale their cloud businesses across major hyperscalers. It addresses the complexities of the cloud ecosystem, including cloud billing, margin management, customer lifecycle workflows, and partner-led service delivery. This senior role requires a leader with a "technical founder" mindset, acting as the primary driver for all DoiT Partner Platform initiatives. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of the cloud ecosystem, hyperscaler partner programs, and have hands-on experience in areas like cloud operations, cloud billing/FinOps, or partner operations, with a strong background in channel business models. In addition to driving execution, this role involves shaping strategy, aligning cross-functional teams, and mentoring other technical product owners.

Requirements

Extensive product leadership experience with 10+ years of direct experience in the cloud ecosystem, ideally across roles such as cloud operations, FinOps, partner operations, or building platforms that serve cloud customers or partners.
Proven ability to act as a "player-coach"—driving high-level strategy, executing hands-on alongside engineering, and directing/mentoring other product owners as a respected peer leader.
Strong experience with cloud billing systems, cost and usage data, or revenue operations within cloud environments.
Deep understanding of the cloud partner ecosystem (resellers, MSPs, SIs, distributors, marketplaces). Candidates have likely worked within the partner ecosystem at some point in their careers.
Experience building or operating platforms that serve channel or partner-driven business models.
Strong product sense for turning messy operational problems into clear scope and shipped value with an excellent user experience.
Technical fluency in cloud fundamentals and APIs across AWS, Google Cloud, and/or Azure.
Coding experience is a plus—enough to collaborate effectively with engineers, reason about feasibility, and understand system behaviors.
Must have demonstrated experience using AI to accelerate product specifications and development.
Excellent communication skills: ability to engage deeply with partners, cloud experts, and internal stakeholders at the executive level.
A bias for action and continuous improvement: you ship, measure, learn, and iterate.

Responsibilities

Act as the "tip of the spear" for the DoiT Partner Platform, serving as the foremost product authority and a leader amongst peers, driving alignment across multiple product squads and setting the bar for product excellence.
Own the overarching strategy, delivery, iteration, and learning velocity for major platform components.
Partner with VP-level leadership to define strategic direction, translating it into clear problems to solve and shippable scope.
Direct and mentor other Technical Product Owners to elevate product management practices, ensuring cohesive execution across the entire platform portfolio.
Drive the feedback loop across teams: discover → define → build → release → measure → iterate, repeatedly.
Review technical designs, reason about complex tradeoffs and constraints, and understand their impact on delivery timelines and system behavior, without being the primary implementer.
Leverage hands-on experience within the cloud ecosystem and understanding of channel, reseller, and partner business models.
Develop deep empathy for the workflows of cloud partners: billing operations, margin management, reseller customer management, support operations, and service delivery.
Use direct partner conversations and operational insight to identify friction, gaps, and strategic opportunities to improve how partners run their cloud businesses.
Bring strong understanding of cloud billing constructs, marketplace programs, margin models, and partner incentives across hyperscalers.
Help shape complex platform capabilities that manage or abstract complexity in areas such as: Multi-cloud billing aggregation, Partner margin and discount models, Customer invoicing and revenue operations, Usage and cost transparency, Marketplace and private offer workflows.
Speak frequently with key partners (aiming for 3–5 conversations a week) and internal stakeholders to validate ideas, refine workflows, and test assumptions.
Engage deeply with executive stakeholders at cloud partners, MSPs, SIs, and resellers to understand how they operate their cloud businesses.
Communicate clearly and confidently: share concepts early, take feedback openly, synthesize input into strategic decisions, and explain "why" in a way that builds trust and consensus among peers and leadership.
Operate as a core leader working closely with Engineering leaders—present in daily collaboration, crisp in decision-making, and pragmatic about constraints.
Partner with Engineering leads on sequencing, technical tradeoffs, and delivery planning—ensuring product intent survives implementation realities.
Ensure components are cohesive across UX, APIs, data, and operational behavior, supporting partner-grade reliability and scalability.
Define what “success” means for the platform portfolio with clear metrics (partner adoption, onboarding speed, billing accuracy, workflow completion, retention, reliability signals, partner-reported impact).
Instrument learning: ensure releases are measurable and that insights reliably flow back into portfolio prioritization.
Ensure platform capabilities account for the operational realities of the cloud partner ecosystem, including billing accuracy, financial reconciliation, and auditability.
