Senior Director of Product Management, Platform and Infrastructure Services
About The Position
GEICO is undergoing an exciting transformation into a product and tech-powered company. We are seeking a Senior Director of Product Management, Platform and Infrastructure Services to define and drive the enterprise product strategy for Platform & Infrastructure Services across GEICO. This role spans IaaS, hybrid cloud, data center engineering, and network platforms. The leader will translate enterprise priorities around platform adoption, reliability, cost efficiency, and developer productivity into a cohesive product strategy for a broad portfolio of foundational services, including compute, databases, messaging, storage, document platforms, hybrid cloud, identity and access, networking, and developer platforms. This role involves bridging product, platform engineering, SRE, and business teams to drive a unified roadmap across PaaS and Infrastructure, ensuring platforms are highly available, secure, and compliant, infrastructure is cost-efficient and optimized via FinOps, and developers can increasingly self-serve via platform capabilities and paved roads, with adoption scaling through a forward-deployed engineering model. Preferred locations are Seattle and Palo Alto.
Requirements
- 12+ years of experience in product management leadership for platforms, infrastructure, or cloud services
- Experience owning large-scale platform portfolios (PaaS, IaaS, or hybrid cloud)
- Proven success in driving platform adoption and developer experience at scale
- Strong understanding of Cloud platforms (Azure, hybrid cloud environments)
- Strong understanding of Platform engineering (paved roads, self-service platforms, control planes)
- Strong understanding of Distributed systems (databases, messaging, storage, APIs)
- Experience driving cost optimization / FinOps initiatives at scale
- Demonstrated ability to influence in complex, matrixed organizations
Nice To Haves
- Experience building internal developer platforms (IDP) or unified control planes
- Familiarity with AI-enabled developer workflows and platform automation
- Background in infrastructure modernization (hybrid cloud, private cloud, DC transformation)
- Experience scaling enterprise SaaS-like platforms internally
Responsibilities
- Define and execute a multi-year product vision across Platform and Infrastructure domains, including platform services (compute, databases, messaging, storage, API management, document platforms) and infrastructure services (hybrid cloud, private cloud, network, identity, data center engineering).
- Drive a “platform-first” strategy focused on adoption and reuse, ensuring GEICO workloads run on standardized, enterprise-grade platforms rather than bespoke infrastructure.
- Align strategy to enterprise priorities: Cost-to-serve reduction via cloud optimization, repatriation, and FinOps; Platform reliability and operational excellence (availability, MTTx, incident reduction); Developer productivity through self-service platforms and paved roads.
- Own and drive a cross-platform product roadmap spanning Unified Control Plane, Core services, Document/workflow platforms, AI-native developer experiences, Hybrid cloud platforms, Infra modernization, Identity/certificate/security infrastructure, and Data center lifecycle.
- Ensure roadmap prioritization is adoption-driven, cost-informed, and reliability-aware.
- Drive adoption of platform services through a forward-deployed engineering model and standardized “paved road” experiences.
- Unify developer experience via a single control plane interface for all services.
- Lead platform-level FinOps strategy, driving cost and utilization optimization initiatives, and building cost insights and attribution models.
- Ensure platforms meet enterprise standards for availability, resilience, operational excellence, security, compliance, and vulnerability management.
- Act as the central product leader across Platform & Infra portfolios, driving alignment across platform engineering, infrastructure teams, cybersecurity, SRE, developer experience, finance, and business/application teams.
- Ensure clear prioritization of platform investments, alignment on cost, reliability, and adoption goals, and visibility into roadmap status, risks, and dependencies.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and benefits package
