Director of Product Management, Network AI Ops (Hybrid or Remote)

The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas: the power to see things not ordinarily possible and the ability to collect insights from many vantage points. As organizations rely more on cloud services and the Internet, the network has become a "black box" outside their control. ThousandEyes gives organizations visibility and insight into the now borderless network. It gives them an accurate understanding of how the network impacts their applications, users, and customers. ThousandEyes is used by some of the world's largest and fastest-growing brands, including the top 5 global software companies, 5 of the top 6 US banks, and 45 of the Fortune 500.

ThousandEyes' pioneered Cloud and Internet Intelligence and is widely known as the 'Google Maps of the Internet.' Today, ThousandEyes is central to the global operations of the world's largest and fastest-growing brands. The company was acquired by Cisco in August 2020, and chartered with continuing to drive leadership in empowering organizations to see, understand, and improve digital experiences everywhere.

• Ownership: The best product managers take the responsibility of delivering a successful product to heart, and step in wherever needed, even if crossing typical role boundaries; they never shy away from the details nor lose sight of the bigger picture.

Why Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do –you can’t put us in a box! But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colourful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us.

We recognize that diverse teams make the strongest teams, and we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
