About the role
- Own Kaseya’s enterprise-wide NPI framework, processes, and tollgates for new product and major feature launches.
- Define launch tiers and corresponding requirements (e.g., beta, GA, phased rollout, regional vs global).
- Partner with Product Management on business cases, launch objectives, and success metrics (e.g., adoption, usage, revenue, NPS).
- Build and manage integrated launch plans that span Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Partners, Customer Success, Support, Finance, Legal, and Ops.
- Lead cross-functional “launch squads,” ensuring clear owners, timelines, and accountability for all deliverables.
- Identify and manage dependencies and risks; escalate and drive decisions to keep launches on track.
- Ensure early customer validation (preview, beta, pilots) and that learnings are incorporated into the launch plan.
- Partner with Go-to-Market leaders to define positioning, pricing & packaging, routes to market, and commercial targets for new products.
- Drive field readiness: Ensure Sales, Account Management, and Partner teams have the training, tools, messaging, and collateral they need.
- Coordinate launch playbooks, sales plays, demos, and talk tracks.
- Ensure Support and Customer Success are launch-ready (runbooks, SLAs, knowledge base content, success plans, etc.).
- Work with Engineering and Product to confirm readiness criteria (performance, scalability, reliability, security) are met before launch.
- Partner with Security, Legal, and Compliance to ensure all requirements (data privacy, regulatory, contractual) are addressed prior to launch.
- Coordinate with internal operations (billing, provisioning, quote-to-cash, reporting) to ensure frictionless customer experience from day one.
- Lead post-launch reviews (30/60/90 days) to assess performance against objectives and drive corrective actions.
- Define and track a standard set of NPI KPIs (e.g., time-to-market, launch readiness scores, adoption, churn for new products, field satisfaction).
- Continuously refine Kaseya’s NPI processes, tools, templates, and governance based on data and feedback.
- Lead a small team of NPI program managers.
- Influence and align senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering, and Go-to-Market on launch priorities and trade-offs.
- Foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and collaboration around launches.
- Act as the single point of contact and “voice of the launch” for executive updates and status.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in B2B technology (ideally SaaS), with significant time in Product Management, Program Management, Product Operations, or Go-to-Market roles.
- 5+ years leading complex cross-functional launches or NPI programs across multiple teams and geographies.
- Proven track record of delivering successful product launches from concept through post-launch optimization.
- Strong program and project management skills, including managing multiple launches concurrently.
