Role Description
Weโre looking for an experienced Product Manager to help us change the way the world works, with anytime, anywhere, any-device productivity. Here, youโll work on two critical pillars of the product:
-
The backend services that power Parallels Desktop under the hood.
-
The enterprise-facing experience that helps IT administrators and organizations deploy and manage Parallels at scale.
This is a high-impact role at the intersection of infrastructure reliability and B2B product growth. You'll work closely with engineering, QA, and other product managers to define what gets built, why it matters, and how it reaches customers.
As a Product Manager, you will:
-
Own the roadmap for Parallels Desktop backend services โ including identity, licensing, activation, update delivery, service reliability, integration with external services โ with a particular focus on how these systems support enterprise deployments.
-
Support the Principal PM for Parallels Desktop for Enterprise in executing the enterprise product strategy, taking ownership of frontend and backend-related workstreams and translating enterprise requirements into infrastructure-level solutions.
-
Bridge backend and enterprise needs โ identifying where service-layer capabilities (e.g., provisioning, policy enforcement, update management) can unlock new value for IT administrators and large-scale deployments.
-
Write clear, actionable requirements โ user stories, acceptance criteria, and PRDs that give engineering teams what they need to ship with confidence.
-
Define and track key product metrics โ from backend service health and uptime to enterprise deployment success โ and use data to inform priorities.
-
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, QA, design, support, and marketing to bring features from concept to launch.
Qualifications
-
3โ5 years of product management experience, ideally with exposure to backend systems, platform services, or developer/IT-facing products.
-
Solid understanding of B2B/enterprise software dynamics โ you know how IT buyers think, understand the thinking behind adminโs persona, and why admin tooling matters.
-
Technical fluency โ you don't need to write code, but you're comfortable discussing APIs, service architecture, and infrastructure tradeoffs with engineering teams.
-
Strong written communication skills โ from crisp user stories to clear stakeholder updates, you know how to write for different audiences.
-
Data-driven mindset โ you form hypotheses, define metrics, and update your views based on evidence.
-
Comfortable with ambiguity โ you can set direction in areas that aren't fully defined and make progress without waiting for perfect information.
Requirements
-
Experience with the macOS ecosystem, virtualization, or cross-platform software (nice to have).
-
Familiarity with enterprise deployment tools (MDM, SCCM, Jamf, etc.) (nice to have).
-
Background in IdP management, SaaS subscription models and licensing infrastructure (nice to have).
Benefits
-
Parallels is an award-winning solution that helps users leverage the best technology out there, whether itโs Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, iOS, Android, or the cloud.
-
We offer a fully remote workspace.
-
There is no pressure to work in an office whatsoever.
-
Hours are flexible, too! Youโve worked hard to build your life, and we donโt want you to give it up for work.
-
Our team is growing fast, and thereโs a ton of energy and a lot of really smart, motivated, fun people ready to welcome you in.
