Track Anything accomplishes this by creating powerful, flexible, and smart attributes (i.e. Custom Fields, Custom Task Types) that reflect the real-world properties involved in work, and by mapping these attributes in Asana to enrich and unlock the unique power of the Work Graph. As the manager for this well-established team, you will be instrumental in executing the team’s long-term roadmap, fostering an inclusive team culture & ensuring that the team is motivated by the work ahead of them.

Asana aims to rival the best enterprise software, with a deep bench of functionality and controls powerful enough to meet the needs of the world’s largest companies, along with rock-solid stability, security, and compliance. Our product engineering team works closely with designers and PMs to continuously improve the Asana experience for all our customers. We’re involved in the entire product process, from conception (be it at a hackathon or during Roadmap Week) to post-launch reflection. And we have deep empathy for both our coworkers and our users, to understand how we can work better together to help others work better together. This role is based in our New York City office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. Along with most Asanas, you’ll work from this office in person on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
