Lead Technical Product Manager - Test Automation domain

Are you an experienced, product and go-to-market leader with a technical background, with a passion for delivering world-class software products in a fast-paced environment? If so, Tricentis has an opening for you – we are hiring a Lead Technical Product Manager in Vienna.

The Lead Technical Product Manager, Tosca Automation (TBox) will own and grow the core automation engine that powers Tricentis Tosca and our next generation of AI/agentic automation.

Based in Vienna (hybrid), this role defines the strategy and roadmap for TBox across desktop, web, SAP, APIs, and hybrid on-prem/cloud execution, partnering closely with multiple engineering teams. This Lead PM will work directly with Tosca leadership, AI/ATA and platform teams, and key customers to ensure TBox remains a differentiated, enterprise-grade automation foundation for Tosca Cloud and cross-product quality engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the strategy, roadmap, and backlog for TBox and related automation capabilities (desktop, web, SAP, APIs, mobile integration, AI/agentic automation).

• Act as the committed product lead for one or more agile teams in Vienna; define epics and user stories and drive delivery from discovery through release.

• Balance short-term needs (stability, performance, parity gaps) with longer-term bets (agentic execution, cloud-first and hybrid/on-prem execution models).

• Collaborate closely with engineering, architecture, UX, and QA to design solutions that are technically feasible, scalable, and maintainable.

• Define how TBox underpins Tosca Cloud and Agentic Test Automation (ATA), ensuring AI/agentic capabilities generate robust, reusable TBox-based tests.

• Partner with platform and identity teams where needed (execution agents, cloud integration, hybrid/on-prem flows).

• Engage regularly with customers, field teams, and partners to understand real-world automation scenarios and translate them into prioritised use cases and requirements.

• Track competing automation approaches (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, UiPath, ACCELQ, UFT, open source) and ensure TBox maintains a differentiated position.

• Work with Product Marketing and Sales Engineering on TBox positioning, messaging, and sales plays as part of the broader Tosca platform story.

• Support go-to-market for key releases (enablement, demo scenarios, “what’s new/why it matters” content) and represent Tosca automation in executive and customer meetings.

• Create alignment across Tosca Cloud, ATA/AI, test management, SAP solutions, and NeoLoad so automation investments are coherent and reused.

• Provide mentoring and guidance to other PMs working near the automation stack and help uplift product discovery and decision-making across teams.

Qualifications – Must Have

• 7+ years of Product Management (or closely related experience) in B2B enterprise software, including 3+ years owning significant product areas or teams.

• Strong hands-on experience with test automation and/or quality engineering tools (e.g., Tosca, Selenium-based tools, Cypress, Playwright, UFT, RPA or similar frameworks) preferred.

• Demonstrated experience with Windows client/server and desktop automation, plus familiarity with web and API automation, is highly preferred.

• Solid understanding of SDLC, CI/CD, and modern DevOps/QA practices (e.g., GitHub, Azure DevOps, Jira, Jenkins, cloud-native architectures).

• Proven track record of defining strategy and roadmaps for complex technical products and successfully shipping improvements that deliver measurable customer value.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills; able to work effectively with engineers, architects, executives, field teams, and customers.

• Practical experience working in agile environments (Scrum/Kanban), including writing epics/stories and partnering closely with engineering leaders.

• Fluent English, written and spoken.

Qualifications – Nice to Have

• Experience with Tricentis Tosca, TBox, or other model-based test automation approaches.

• Background in automation for SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, or other large enterprise applications.

• Experience applying AI/ML or “agentic” automation to testing or quality engineering.

• Experience with hybrid/on-prem plus cloud products, including migration and managed-service models.

• Prior experience working in a global, multi-time-zone organisation across multiple R&D centres.

You can look forward to:

• Flexible working schedule (no core hours)

• Hybrid work environment

• 25 days of paid time off 

• 2 days of paid Volunteering Leave per year to get involved in your local community or in a cause that matters to you 

• Meal allowance

• Life & Disability Insurance

• A team of passionate professionals who are experts in their fields

• Events for employees to learn, celebrate and socialise (training sessions, hackathons, parties, sports events, board game gatherings, BBQs) and much more
