Product Manager

Work with purpose.    

WorkBoard’s mission is to help companies and the people in them achieve their best results. We pioneered the Strategy Execution solution category so leaders can communicate strategy and align efforts well in a faster changing world, and so team members are energized by the purpose and impact of their work. Our customers drive faster growth and competitive advantage because they have higher alignment, real-time transparency, and sharper focus on the results that matter.  Companies like Ford, Boeing, 3M, Mars, UBS, State Street Bank, Cisco, Juniper, Workday, Humana, Renault, Virgin Media O2 and many others use WorkBoard’s platform, expert services, and professional certification programs to achieve their ambitious strategies.  

WorkBoard has built a clear lead in the Strategy Execution space in large part because its founders and team members are experienced company builders focused on true, differentiated value for our customers. WorkBoard is backed by top-tier venture investors including SoftBank, Andreessen Horowitz, Notable Capital, Intel Capital and Workday Ventures.
