As a Technical Product Manager at Jama Software, you will lead the product strategy for how we win in the market, prioritization on what gets built, and decisions on when we’re done. Because we’re building a SaaS platform in a fast-growing company, product management here is a collaborative activity; you’ll own long-running product initiatives but share ownership of the product. To that end, you will create and manage the business constraints for your initiatives, you’ll have opinions on where we should be taking the product from a business value and user value perspective, you’ll keep teams adequately supplied with a healthy, well-defined backlog, and you’ll build trust with your collaborators by being direct, open, and honest about what you will and will not deliver.

You’ll partner with our architecture team and contribute directly to a critical area of our product roadmap to help define our integration strategy and bring new integration capabilities to market. You’ll work closely with Product Marketing, Engineering, Business Development, and Customer Success to shape and support the business needs of our customers in regulated and unregulated industries.

  • Ownership of API documentation (ie – developer’s site).
  • Deep understanding of client needs and market trends, through client interaction and other market research.
  • Lead the product strategy and roadmap for Jama Software product offerings for first-party integrations.

What You’ll Bring:

  • At least 5 years in a product management position or led in a technical role, preferably in enterprise software with demonstrated success managing products and teams.
  • Experience working iteratively in an agile or lean environment, and able to break down large problems into smaller valuable increments.
  • Demonstrated, measurable success in launching and managing innovative products or product features to drive customer delight and revenue growth.
  • Experience working self-directed, within a fast-paced environment – individually, in small teams, or across functional groups.
  • Experience partnering with architecture and technical leads to evaluate and communicate design and migration decisions as it applies to customers.
  • Deep understanding of technical integrations between SaaS tools – familiarity with large data movement a plus.
  • Outstanding communication skills and ability to work with diverse roles across the company and with customers.
  • Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, taking initiative to seek internal and external resources when problem-solving.

Nice to Have:

  • Product Management certification (Pragmatic Institute or other).
  • Domain experience in systems engineering, particularly in regulated industries is a plus, our customers build life-critical hardware/software systems.
  • Experience with cloud applications deployed and maintained by customers in their own cloud environments.

Perks and Benefits:

  • Virtual first and culturally diverse work environment spanning 8 countries.
  • Ambitious and fun work with a chance to define distinct, company-shaping tangible contributions.
