About Salesforce
We're Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too - driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good - you've come to the right place.
Are you an innovative product leader who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and loves working with the best technology teams in the world? Do you have a strong focus in the pursuit of delivering developer experiences that enable developers to do the best work of their careers? If so, this amazing role in our Heroku Product team could be for you!
Heroku is looking for a Product Manager to lead the Heroku Elements Marketplace and Add-on program, the most important extensibility point of the Heroku Platform. In the add-on marketplace, add-on partners can list and sell services such as data stores, observability tools, CI/CD and much more. You will lead this product, and guide its future and evolution. You'll gather feedback from and work with both sides of the market: Heroku customers and Heroku add-on partners to understand their requirements.
Heroku Ecosystem is also a store-front for two other important Heroku extensibility points: programming language Buildpacks and Heroku Buttons for quickly deploying software made for Heroku. Other product managers own those features, but you will work with them to make sure they're a coherent part of the Heroku Elements marketplace.
Importantly we're also planning to add more Heroku extensibility points that partners can tie in to, and you will play a big role in defining and launching those.
Heroku is taking a big step forward this year with a significant investment in hiring, roadmap, and new technologies. You can help shape this exciting future! Read more at https://blog.heroku.com/.
