Director of Product Management - Developer Tools

Developer Tools - APILayer · Filestack · Froala · FusionCharts Idera, Inc. | Remote — US, Latin America, or Western Europe (Texas-hours overlap) About the Role Idera's Developer Tools portfolio serves hundreds of thousands of developers and tens of thousands of companies worldwide — from individual builders integrating a rich text editor into their app, to enterprise ISVs embedding charting components across a globally distributed SaaS platform. At the center of this portfolio sit four closely related products: APILayer, a marketplace of scalable REST APIs powering productivity and connectivity workflows; Filestack, a low-code file upload and content management API; Froala, a best-in-class WYSIWYG HTML editor for web and mobile applications; and FusionCharts, a leading JavaScript charting and data visualization library trusted by over 800,000 developers across 28,000 companies. We are looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the product teams responsible for these four products. This is a people leadership and strategic ownership role: you will manage a team of product managers, shape roadmap priorities across the portfolio, communicate product strategy to senior stakeholders, and ensure each product is clearly differentiated and growing in its market. The products are largely run independently, but there is real opportunity to identify synergies — shared buyers, complementary capabilities, and cross-sell potential among ISVs and developer teams who use more than one. You will be expected to see and act on those opportunities, while still letting each product team operate with focus and accountability. This is not a hands-on-keyboard engineering role. But it is a role for someone who understands how developers evaluate, integrate, and build on top of APIs and components — and who can speak credibly with engineers, architects, and product teams about technical tradeoffs and product decisions. Why This Role Most director-level product roles give you one product, one market, and a narrow mandate. This one gives you four distinct products, four developer communities, and genuine ownership of how each evolves — all within a stable, profitable, private-equity-backed company that has been building and acquiring developer tools for over two decades. You will have real autonomy. The teams are in place, the products are established, and leadership wants a product director who can think strategically and develop their PMs — not someone to manage upward or wait for approval on every decision. If you are a strong senior PM ready to step into your first director role, or a director who wants broader scope without the politics of a larger organization, this is worth a serious look. The role is fully remote, spans a genuinely interesting and technically varied portfolio, and offers the kind of breadth that is hard to find at a single-product company. What You Will Do Lead and Develop Your TeamDirectly manage the product managers assigned to APILayer, Filestack, Froala, and FusionCharts — coaching them on craft, prioritization, stakeholder communication, and strategic thinking.Set clear expectations, create accountability, and help each PM grow into a stronger product leader.Foster a culture of customer-led decision-making and disciplined roadmap management across the team.Own Product Strategy Across the PortfolioDevelop and maintain a coherent product strategy for each of the four products, grounded in market opportunity, competitive dynamics, and customer needs.Identify and articulate where the products share buyers, adjacent use cases, or opportunities for deeper integration, and build strategic initiatives around those insights.Ensure each product's roadmap reflects a clear point of view on where the market is going and how Idera can win — not just a queue of feature requests.Engage With Customers and MarketsMaintain a sharp, current understanding of the developer tools market — particularly the API marketplace, file management, rich text editing, and JavaScript data visualization segments. Conduct ongoing customer discovery and competitive analysis, translating market intelligence into strategic product and roadmap decisions.Be the internal authority on the buyers and end users of these products: how developers evaluate and adopt them, what drives expansion and churn, and what winning looks like for an ISV building on top of these components.Communicate Product Strategy to StakeholdersClearly communicate product strategy, roadmap priorities, and progress to senior stakeholders — ensuring alignment between product direction and company-level goals.Make the case for roadmap investments with data and strategic clarity, surfacing tradeoffs early and resolving them constructively.Keep engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success aligned and informed as priorities evolve.Partner With GTM and EngineeringWork with go-to-market teams on positioning, messaging, and product launch readiness — providing pro
