The world's top companies across every major industry trust Teradata to improve business performance, enrich customer experiences, and fully integrate data across the enterprise.
**What you will do**
As Senior Director, Product Management - Hybrid & Data Protection Services, you will lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution for Teradata's hybrid platform and data protection services that underpin Teradata's enterprise analytics and AI offerings across public cloud, private cloud, and on-prem environments.

This is a senior people leadership role. You will build and lead a team of product managers responsible for defining and delivering platform-level capabilities that allow customers to run mission-critical analytics and AI workloads wherever their data resides.
You will also drive strategic partnerships and ecosystem alignment-working with infrastructure, cloud, and OEM partners (including Dell and hyperscalers)-to ensure Teradata delivers validated, enterprise-ready hybrid and data protection solutions at scale.
Success in this role means:
+ Owning and delivering a clear hybrid and data protection product strategy aligned to Teradata's enterprise analytics and AI platform vision.
+ Defining a multi-year roadmap for hybrid platform services, including deployment flexibility, data mobility, backup, recovery, resiliency, and compliance.
+ Ensuring Teradata's platforms support enterprise-grade data protection capabilities such as backup/restore, disaster recovery, high availability, and ransomware resilience.
+ Enabling seamless operation of Teradata Vantage and VantageCloud across public cloud, private cloud, and customer-managed infrastructure.
+ Leading and developing a high-performing team of product managers, setting clear priorities, coaching talent, and driving accountability.
+ Partnering with engineering to ensure security, reliability, performance, and lifecycle management are built into platform services by design.
+ Collaborating with alliances and partners (e.g., OEMs, cloud providers) to deliver validated architectures, reference solutions, and joint offerings.
+ Supporting go-to-market teams with enterprise-ready positioning, customer narratives, and executive-level engagements.
+ Ensuring all hybrid and data protection capabilities align with Teradata's principles of security, responsibility, transparency, and trust.
**Who you will work with**
+ You will work closely with senior leaders across Teradata Product Management, Platform & Cloud Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, AI Engineering, Alliances, Sales, and Customer Success.
+ This role sits within the Teradata Product Organization and reports to the VP of Product Management. You will operate as a senior leader within the organization, influencing platform strategy, investment decisions, and cross-portfolio alignment.
+ You will also collaborate with strategic partners and OEMs-including Dell and others-to ensure Teradata's hybrid and data protection services integrate effectively with enterprise infrastructure ecosystems.
**What makes you a qualified candidate**
+ 15+ years of product management experience in enterprise software, data platforms, cloud infrastructure, or platform services.
+ Proven people leadership experience, including building, managing, and scaling product management teams at Director level or above.
+ Strong background in hybrid cloud platforms, enterprise infrastructure, or distributed systems.
+ Deep understanding of data protection services, including backup and recovery, disaster recovery, high availability, data resilience, and compliance.
+ Experience delivering platform-level services that support mission-critical enterprise workloads.
+ Familiarity with Teradata Vantage, VantageCloud, or large-scale analytics/data warehouse platforms.
+ Experience working with OEM and cloud partners (e.g., Dell, hyperscalers) on joint solutions, integrations, or validated architectures.
+ Ability to translate complex technical and regulatory requirements into clear product strategy and execution plans.
+ Strong executive communication skills and the ability to influence across engineering, sales, partners, and leadership teams.
+ Foundational understanding of AI and analytics workloads, particularly how data protection and hybrid deployment impact AI readiness.
**What you will bring**
+ You bring a platform and enterprise mindset, understanding that trust, resiliency, and data protection are foundational to customer success. You are equally comfortable setting long-term strategy, leading teams, and diving deep into complex technical tradeoffs.
+ You are energized by leading through influence and execution-balancing customer needs, engineering realities, and partner ecosystems to deliver durable platform capabilities at scale.
+ Prior experience working with Dell technologies (e.g., PowerScale, PowerStore, PowerEdge, APEX) or similar enterprise infrastructure platforms.
+ Background in enterprise data warehouse or analytics platforms running in hybrid or customer-managed environments.
+ Experience defining reference architectures, validated designs, or enterprise deployment patterns.
+ Strong understanding of enterprise security, compliance, data sovereignty, and regulatory requirements.
+ Exposure to AI-enabled analytics platforms and how data protection and hybrid architectures support AI workloads.
+ Passion for building resilient, secure, and scalable hybrid data platforms that customers can trust with their most critical data.
