Senior Product Manager, Integration & Connectors

  • Full-time

Company Description

Vlocity is looking for a talented and driven product leader to manage its integration features and connector program. We want our customers to easily integrate to modern interfaces and to easily move their data into and out of our product - all with clicks, not code. We need someone with big ideas and a unique combination of design and technical skills to help us deliver these capabilities.

All the industries we serve - communications, media, insurance, health insurance, government - involve complex services processes that span multiple enterprise systems. Our customers spend millions to integrate their systems to better serve their customers. We want to make those integrations cheaper, easier and faster - enabling our customers to quickly adapt to changing business requirements, and to maintain their systems at a fraction of the cost. We’ll deliver our vision through robust declarative tooling, an ecosystem of partner connectors, and an API that developers love.

Our team of productive, experienced designers and developers will turn your requirements in to real software. Our professional, experienced team of marketing, sales, and services experts will get it into the hands of customers. You’ll work with them every step of the way to transform your vision into a product that people love to use.

Vlocity is a fast-growing strategic partner of Salesforce. You’ll get the equity perks of a startup, with the resources and industry-expertise of a well-established company.
