About The Position

Stonebranch is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the product strategy for their Universal Automation Center (UAC) platform. This role involves translating market opportunities into a product roadmap, owning the full product lifecycle, and capitalizing on the rapidly evolving hybrid IT automation market. The position will focus on AI-driven innovation, identifying new product capabilities enabled by AI, and working with an engineering team that utilizes AI coding assistants. The Senior Product Manager will bring best-in-class solutions to market across Real-Time Hybrid IT Automation, Workload Automation, and Cloud and Data Pipeline Automation, collaborating with various departments to drive revenue and renewals. A strong technical background in enterprise IT automation is essential, along with the ability to engage with engineering, present to executives, and handle customer escalations.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in business, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 10-15 years of professional experience in product management or a closely related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience specifically with Workload Automation (WLA) or adjacent enterprise IT automation domains, either in a Product Management capacity or an adjacent function such as Sales or Services.
• Track record of taking products through some or all of their lifecycle — from requirements definition and roadmapping through launch and market adoption.
• Direct experience with Workload Automation, Job Scheduling, or Service Orchestration & Automation Platforms (SOAP).
• Experience with SaaS and private/hybrid cloud delivery models, including subscription-based licensing.
• Familiarity with applying AI/GenAI capabilities within a product offering, and experience working alongside engineering teams that use AI-assisted development tools to define and build new capabilities.
• Working knowledge of Agile development methodologies and core PM tradecraft — requirements definition, user stories, acceptance criteria, and PRDs.
• Comfort using product analytics and usage/telemetry data to inform roadmap and licensing decisions.
• Strong customer- and partner-facing presence, with the ability to build trusted-advisor relationships.
• Comfortable representing product strategy externally during customer meetings, conferences, webinars, etc.
• Effective cross-functional collaborator across sales, pre-sales, marketing, services, and support.
• Clear communicator able to translate technical direction and business value across audiences, from executives to hands-on users.
• Fluency in English (written and verbal) required.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with Managed File Transfer (MFT) is a plus given the breadth of the Stonebranch platform.
• Knowledge of data privacy and compliance frameworks such as GDPR is a plus, given close collaboration with EU-based teams, partners, and clients.

Responsibilities

• Own the product roadmap for Universal Automation Center (UAC), translating market opportunity and customer feedback into prioritized initiatives across Workload Automation, Cloud and Data Pipeline Automation, and real-time orchestration.
• Contribute to the strategic product plan — product positioning, competitive strengths and weaknesses, and portfolio evolution.
• Analyze competitive dynamics and win/loss trends to sharpen product direction and inform go-to-market messaging.
• Identify where AI can create new UAC capabilities, not just accelerate delivery of existing plans.
• Partner with an engineering organization that uses AI coding assistants to define, specify, and build new solutions, translating product vision into requirements.
• Evaluate emerging AI/ML and automation technologies for their potential to extend the UAC product portfolio.
• Lead the launch of new UAC capabilities and the rollout of new versions to market, across both SaaS and private cloud deployments.
• Define and prioritize product requirements within Agile development cycles, gathering input from customers, key stakeholders, and SMEs.
• Represent UAC product strategy directly to customers — in small group settings, at conferences, and through Stonebranch webinars.
• Partner across sales, pre-sales, marketing, services, and support to align product direction with go-to-market execution.
• Communicate the business value of the UAC portfolio to audiences ranging from executives to hands-on users.
• Work through complex customer situations and escalations, bringing product expertise to bear on high-stakes issues.

Benefits

• Continuous learning opportunities and professional development.
• Flexible work environment with hybrid or remote options.
