Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds. ### ABOUT THE ROLE The Group Product Manager, Control Plane, owns the product strategy for the systems that manage and orchestrate Volta's compute, storage, and networking resources — the Kubernetes-native control layer that makes the platform work. You will lead a team of product managers shaping how the control plane evolves as the fleet scales. This is a deeply technical product leadership role at the core of Volta's platform, where the decisions you make directly shape how reliably and efficiently the entire fleet runs. ### WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING - Own product strategy and roadmap for Volta's control plane — the Kubernetes-native layer managing compute, storage, and networking lifecycle - Lead and develop a team of product managers focused on control plane capabilities - Work closely with platform engineering to translate customer and operational needs into control plane features - Prioritize the roadmap based on customer impact, operational reliability, and platform scalability - Partner with the bring-up and operations teams to identify and address operational pain points - Define success metrics for control plane capabilities and track outcomes post-launch - Represent control plane priorities in cross-functional and leadership planning - Communicate roadmap and rationale clearly to engineering, leadership, and customers as needed ### WHAT YOU BRING - Significant product management experience in infrastructure, platform, or developer tools is essential - Experience managing other product managers or leading a product team - Deep understanding of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure control plane concepts - Strong technical fluency, comfortable partnering closely with engineering - A track record shipping infrastructure products that scale - Excellent prioritization and stakeholder communication skills REQ-138 ### WHAT WE OFFER At Volta, we believe people do their best work when they feel supported, trusted and able to grow. We're building a company where you can make an impact, keep a healthy balance between work and life, and build a career you're proud of. As a global team, we do our best to provide great benefits wherever you're based. While some benefits vary by country due to local regulations, we believe looking after our people is simply the right thing to do. - Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary - Equity in Volta, giving you the opportunity to share in the company's long-term success - Retirement/pension contributions - Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits - Generous number of vacation days each year ### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ### Background Checks All offers of employment at Volta are conditional on the satisfactory completion of pre-employment screening, which includes confirmation of your right to work, verification of your employment history and a criminal record check, where this is permitted by local law. Screening is carried out by Zinc, an accredited third-party provider, after an offer is made and all information is handled confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection law. ### EQUAL OPPORTUNITY Volta is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and make employment decisions based on skills, qualifications, experience and business needs. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, veteran status or any other legally protected characteristic. ### ACCESSIBILITY Volta is committed to providing an accessible recruitment experience for all candidates. If you require accommodations or adjustments at any stage of the application or interview process, please contact us at askpeople@volta.com. We will work with you to identify reasonable accommodations that enable you to participate fully in the hiring process. ### CANDIDATE PRIVACY NOTICE By applying, you consent to the processing of your personal data for recruitment purposes in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR, EU GDPR and relevant US state privacy regulations. Your data will be shared only with those involved in the hiring process and will not be used for unrelated purposes. For details, see our Recruitment & Candidate Privacy Notice. ### NOTE TO RECRUITMENT AGENCIES Volta does not accept unsolicited CVs or candidate profiles from recruitment agencies. Any unsolicited submissions, including those sent directly to hiring managers or employees, will be treated as the property of Volta. No agency fees will be payable unless a valid, signed recruitment agreement is in place, and the agency has been specifically engaged for the relevant vacancy. **Live in Volta’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role. We remove it as soon as it disappears at source. ## More jobs like this - EA [Product Manager](https://gurify.com/job/product-manager-at-earnix-79cc3d53d449) Earnix · Boston, MA · 3 days ago - VO [Group Product Manager - Inference and Token Factory](https://gurify.com/job/group-product-manager-inference-and-token-factory-at-volta-ad45b52447d5) Volta · Palo Alto, CA · 2 months ago - 4M [Senior Forward Deployed Product Manager](https://gurify.com/job/senior-forward-deployed-product-manager-at-4manalytics-72e1d23362e6) 4Manalytics · Austin, TX · 2 days ago - LI [Senior Product Manager, AI Infrastructure](https://gurify.com/job/senior-product-manager-ai-infrastructure-at-lightningai-322f860011c2) Lightningai · New York, United States · 2 days ago - PI [Sr. Product Manager, Data and Signals Intelligence](https://gurify.com/job/sr-product-manager-data-and-signals-intelligence-at-pinterest-3db7f3cb5ac8) Pinterest · New York, NY · last week - 4M [Senior Forward Deployed Product Manager](https://gurify.com/job/senior-forward-deployed-product-manager-at-4manalytics-c2077c6e1c27) 4Manalytics · Austin, TX · 2 days ago ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Group Product Manager - Control Plane","description":"\u003Ch3\u003EABOUT VOLTA\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EVolta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform \u2013 from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise.
