- Share ownership of planning capabilities, including work items, boards, specifications, and portfolio planning, with a fellow product manager.
- Work with engineering and design to translate product direction into a roadmap and improve planning workflows across GitLab.
- Communicate recommendations clearly to senior leaders and constructively challenge assumptions to lead the team through changes in direction.
Requirements
- Experience leading product strategy and execution for software development, developer tools, or planning products.
- A strong understanding of software development and DevOps workflows, including how planning decisions affect downstream delivery.
- The ability to form and defend a product point of view in an uncertain market while remaining open to different ideas.
- Clear communication skills with technical teams and senior executives, including the ability to constructively challenge leadership decisions.
- The ability to connect forward-looking strategy to practical product decisions and collaborate across product, engineering, and design.
