About the role 

Our product organization is built of dozens of small, autonomous teams who work to solve customer problems. Each team has a PM, a Product Designer, and three Engineers, and owns an entire product themselves.

As a Product Management leader for our Enterprise team, you will lead at least 4-6 of these teams with several Product Managers reporting to you. You will get in the weeds with the teams to make sure we’re building the right thing, while also stepping back and working with peers in product design and engineering leadership to ensure we have the systems, processes, and frameworks to execute consistently at scale.

• You’ll work with Product Marketing to position new product launches to generate awareness, demand, and revenue.
• You’ll help the entire leadership team shift their processes to be more compatible with developing SaaS software for large Enterprise companies.
