Be the key in unlocking business opportunities in the convergent world of Open Platform IP Video Management Systems! Join Milestone, the global market leader.
We are looking for a Director of Product to lead our VSaaS product line (Arcules) within a global portfolio. This is an opportunity for an experienced product leader to step into a high impact position with broad scope, working closely with senior leadership while owning both strategy and execution for a product that is central to our growth.
AI is rewriting expectations across every industry, including ours. You will embed it into the VSaaS experience so customers benefit directly, partners differentiate through it, and the market sees us leading what comes next.
Our business is channel-first. Success depends on our delivery of products that partners can sell, integrate, and support with confidence. You will shape the VSaaS vision, build an outcome-driven roadmap, and work across teams to ensure the product resonates in the market, fuels channel growth, and delivers clear customer value.
We operate in an async-first environment where clarity, documentation, and progress matter more than meetings. You will set the tone by leading with transparency, empowering your team, and keeping global teams aligned across time zones. You will also collaborate with the VSaaS leadership team to make smart tradeoffs on major opportunities, balancing immediate upside with long term direction.
If you thrive in an environment that values autonomy, decisiveness, and customer obsession, and you are ready to take ownership of a high stakes product line, this role gives you the chance to make a lasting impact while growing into your next stage as a leader.
This position is hybrid in our Lake Oswego (Portland area), OR office.
As a Milestone Employee, YOU are the key to our success. Come join our dynamic international team and be a part of our rapidly growing, successful business.
