This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Netherlands.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the product strategy, roadmap, and implementation for ClickHouse's native connectors and partner ecosystem.

• Establish strong feedback loops with technology partners to foster co-innovation and expand the joint integration surface.

• Closely monitor the competitive landscape to develop robust, data-driven insights on ecosystem investments that will enhance the business.

• Collaborate with engineering to create a roadmap that balances connector stability, ClickHouse feature coverage, and the developer experience.

• Assess and communicate the business impact, ROI, and customer success of the connectors portfolio to leadership.

• Elevate the visibility of the ClickHouse ecosystem through conference presentations, blog articles, technical content, and community involvement.

• Develop a design partner program to gather early customer feedback and co-create solutions with highly engaged users.

⛳️ Requirements

• Extensive, hands-on expertise in the modern data integration landscape, including streaming, orchestration, ETL/ELT, ingestion, or developer-facing platform products. Engineers transitioning to product management with significant experience in this area are strongly encouraged to apply.
