We finally got my old position (well, my future old position, as soon as it gets filled) posted on our jobs site. Though we’ve identified several strong candidates internally, we’re very interested in interviewing external candidates as well. This is a very important role so we want to make sure we find the best possible candidate.

Would you like to lead the planning for the next version of Flash? Would you like to help shape the future of the Flash business? Do you think you’d make a great spokesperson for the Flash platform?

Also, if you don’t think you meet the requirements outlined in the job posting but you still think you’d make a great product manager, I encourage you to go ahead and send in your resume.
