Hosted Solutions Product Manager – 6904

The Hosted Solutions Product Manager will lead the team responsible for all commercial hosting in ION Markets. This includes ownership of hosting costs and pricing for commercial proposals and renewals, as it relates to infrastructure in support of the ION applications. The vast majority of ION sales now involve some degree of hosting and managed services, requiring careful understanding of a 50+ global data center estate and network, and what this costs to support. This is required to scale across 100s of customers and support diverse product requirements across different asset class groups within ION Markets.

The Hosted Solutions teams goals include creating a product management methodology and structure for hosting and infrastructure, including new acquisitions as they integrate within ION Markets. A clear forwarding thinking strategy of the ION hosted offerings will be required, particularly as more momentum builds towards cloud support.
