Principal Product Manager, Growth
Overview
Docker is a remote-first team focused on Product-Led Growth (PLG) strategies. The Principal Product Manager will lead growth pods, optimize onboarding and setup, deploy behavioral frameworks, architect product attach maps, and stabilize core financial levers.
Responsibilities
Lead Growth Pods: Direct the cross-functional Activation and Expansion pods, managing execution and velocity alongside embedded engineering, UX design, and analytics resources.
Optimize Onboarding & Setup: Reimagine the global workspace initialization and onboarding journeys within the inner loop of each product to eliminate mid-funnel drop-offs and accelerate time-to-value.
Deploy Behavioral Frameworks: Implement contextual hints, in-app triggers, and the underlying rules engines to seamlessly guide users through complex developer workflows.
Arcitect Product Attach Maps: Design and scale global navigation, headers, and persistent in-product discovery routes that reveal multi-product value and drive sequenced product adoption.
Operationalize New SKUs: Partner with core product and packaging teams to turn advanced portfolio capabilities (such as Security and AI features) into distinct, self-serve purchasable paths.
Stabilize Core Financial Levers: Take accountability for improving the self-serve active use conversion rate, driving Net Expansion Rate (NDR), and improving baseline Gross Dollar Retention (GDR).
Qualifications
Extensive Product Experience: Strong background in software product management, with a substantial, dedicated focus directly within Product-Led Growth (PLG) and self-serve monetization.
Proven Metric Impact: A clear track record of personally moving key SaaS growth metrics, such as Gross Dollar Retention (GDR), Net Dollar Retention (NDR), Trial-to-Paid velocity, or Activation Rates.
Strong Analytical Literacy: Advanced experience leveraging product analytics tools and working alongside data science partners to map user patterns and run clean experimentation frameworks.
Technical Familiarity: Comfort navigating developer ecosystems, cloud infrastructure, or complex multi-product software platforms.
Collaborative Communicator: Outstanding skills in cross-functional alignment, with a history of successfully leading matrixed engineering and design teams.
