GEICO is in the midst of an exciting transformation as a product and tech powered company. We are seeking a Senior Director of Product Management, Platform and Infrastructure Services.

This role will define and drive the enterprise product strategy for Platform & Infrastructure Services across GEICO, spanning IaaS, hybrid cloud, data center engineering, and network platforms. The leader will be responsible for translating enterprise priorities around platform adoption, reliability, cost efficiency, and developer productivity into a cohesive product strategy across a broad portfolio of foundational services. These include compute, databases, messaging, storage, document platforms, hybrid cloud, identity and access, networking, and developer platforms. In this role, you will bridge product, platform engineering, SRE, and business teams, driving a unified roadmap across PaaS and Infra while ensuring: 

  • Platforms are highly available, secure, and compliant 

  • Infrastructure is cost-efficient and optimized via FinOps levers 

  • Developers increasingly self-serve via platform capabilities and paved roads 

  • Adoption of platform services scales through a forward-deployed engineering model.

Location: Seattle (preferred location) and Palo Alto.

Key Responsibilities 

1. Platform & Infrastructure Product Strategy & Vision 

Define and execute a multi-year product vision across Platform and Infrastructure domains, including: 

  • Platform services: compute, databases, messaging, storage, API management, and document platforms 

  • Infrastructure services: hybrid cloud, private cloud, network, identity, and data center engineering 

 

Drive a “platform-first” strategy focused on adoption and reuse, ensuring GEICO workloads run on standardized, enterprise-grade platforms rather than bespoke infrastructure. 

Align strategy to enterprise priorities: 

  • Cost-to-serve reduction via cloud optimization, repatriation, and FinOps  

  • Platform reliability and operational excellence (availability, MTTx, incident reduction)  

  • Developer productivity through self-service platforms and paved roads  

2. Portfolio Ownership & Product Roadmap Leadership 

Own and drive a cross-platform product roadmap spanning: 

  • Unified Control Plane for consistent provisioning and operations across services 

  • Core services (databases, messaging, caching, storage, API management, workflows) 

  • Document, workflow platforms  

  • AI-native developer experiences (e.g., AI-blueprints, AI-assisted migrations, MCP integration) 

  • Hybrid cloud platforms and private cloud capacity expansion  

  • Infra modernization  

  • Identity, certificate, and security infrastructure  

  • Data center lifecycle  

 

Ensure roadmap prioritization is: 

  • Adoption-driven (platform usage, onboarding metrics, customer growth) 

  • Cost-informed (FinOps savings, utilization, cost attribution gaps)  

  • Reliability-aware (incident trends, platform health, SLA adherence) 

3. Platform Adoption & Developer Experience  

Drive adoption of platform services through: 

  • Forward-deployed engineering model to onboard critical workloads 

  • Standardized “paved road” experiences (blueprints, Terraform, GitOps patterns, AI-assisted workflows) to fast track adoption 

  • Unified developer experience via a single control plane interface for all services  

 

4. Cost Optimization & FinOps Leadership 

Lead platform-level FinOps strategy across PaaS and Infrastructure: 

  • Drive cost and utilization optimization initiatives via targeted improvements, rightsizing compute/storage/network resources, SKU optimizations and platform consolidation 

  • Partner with FinOps & engineering to build cost insights and attribution models 

  • Ensure cost efficiency scales alongside platform adoption 

 

5. Reliability, Availability & Operational Excellence 

Ensure platforms meet enterprise standards for: 

  • Availability and resilience SLOs   

  • Operational excellence (incident reduction, MTTx improvements) 

  • Security, compliance, and vulnerability management (e.g., large-scale remediation efforts, PCI/NYDFS alignment) 

  • Drive production readiness across hybrid cloud platforms 

6. Stakeholder Alignment & Execution Governance 

Act as the central product leader across Platform & Infra portfolios, driving alignment across: 

  • Platform engineering and infrastructure teams 

  • Cybersecurity, SRE, and developer experience teams 

  • Finance (FinOps, procurement, cost governance) 

  • Business and application teams onboarding to platforms 

Ensure: 

  • Clear prioritization of platform investments 

  • Alignment on cost, reliability, and adoption goals 

  • Visibility into roadmap status, risks, and dependencies 

Required Qualifications 

  • 12+ years of experience in product management leadership for platforms, infrastructure, or cloud services 

  • Experience owning large-scale platform portfolios (PaaS, IaaS, or hybrid cloud) 

  • Proven success in driving platform adoption and developer experience at scale 

  • Strong understanding of:  

  • Cloud platforms (Azure, hybrid cloud environments) 

  • Platform engineering (paved roads, self-service platforms, control planes) 

  • Distributed systems (databases, messaging, storage, APIs) 

  • Experience driving cost optimization / FinOps initiatives at scale 

  • Demonstrated ability to influence in complex, matrixed organizations 

 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience building internal developer platforms (IDP) or unified control planes 

  • Familiarity with AI-enabled developer workflows and platform automation 

  • Background in infrastructure modernization (hybrid cloud, private cloud, DC transformation) 

  • Experience scaling enterprise SaaS-like platforms internally 

 

What Success Looks Like 

  • Platform services achieve broad adoption across GEICO engineering teams, reducing bespoke infrastructure 

  • Infrastructure and PaaS platforms deliver high availability and reliability at scale 

  • Measurable reduction in cost-to-serve through FinOps and optimization levers 

  • Developers increasingly self-serve via unified platform experiences and paved roads 

  • Clear, data-driven visibility into platform health, adoption, and business value 

  • Platform & Infrastructure Services become a core enabler of velocity, resilience, and efficiency across GEICO
