The Cisco Meraki team is seeking a PM Leader to lead the Switching team. This opportunity will include leadership as well as growing a small, dedicated team. You'll be joining one of the fastest-growing product lines at Meraki, MS Switch.

Outstanding success has been achieved in a short time, but how do you scale this even further while also taking this from a billion to many billions of dollars? Most importantly, what do you do right now to make an impact?

By utilizing our many outstanding technologies and infrastructure components already in use at Meraki, you will have the opportunity to evolve a product at a scale that would seem impossible to most. All of this is made possible by partnering with a diverse and exceptionally hard-working collection of people.

This is a unique opportunity to take a leading product in the established switching market and re-think what’s possible. You'll benefit from Meraki’s agile startup culture and combine it with the scale and resources of Cisco to redefine how customers see the network switching experience.
