Principal Product Manager

Tempo Software is a leading provider of integrated solutions for project and portfolio management, trusted by over 30,000 customers, including a third of the Fortune 500. As a Principal Product Manager, you will lead the strategy and growth of Tempo's planning and execution solutions, ensuring they align with customer needs and drive business outcomes through innovative product development and AI integration.

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve the product vision for Tempo’s Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) solutions, connecting strategic planning, portfolio prioritization, resource capacity, financial tracking, and execution data into a unified system
• Drive end-to-end roadmap ownership across multiple interconnected products. Balance customer value, technical investment, and scalability while sequencing work that strengthens the overall portfolio — not just individual applications. Identify opportunities to embed AI capabilities such as predictive planning, intelligent automation, and workflow assistance across the product ecosystem
• Design capabilities that help organizations answer critical questions: Are we working on the right initiatives? Do we have the capacity? Are we on track? Are we delivering value? Leverage AI to support scenario planning, prioritization recommendations, delivery risk detection, and forecast accuracy across portfolios
• Build a deep understanding of how portfolio managers, PMOs, and engineering leaders plan and operate at scale through customer interviews, discovery sessions, and usage analysis. Ensure solutions reflect real operating models while simplifying complexity through intelligent guidance and automation
• Partner closely with engineering, design, and other product teams to deliver connected experiences across time tracking, capacity planning, cost management, and portfolio visibility — enabling customers to move seamlessly from planning to execution to reporting. Integrate AI assistants that help users navigate workflows, surface insights, and reduce manual administrative effort
• Lead the evolution of planning and reporting capabilities, including forecasting, portfolio health indicators, and executive insights. Introduce AI-powered analytics such as delivery risk alerts, anomaly detection, trend analysis, and outcome prediction to help customers proactively manage delivery and performance
• Collaborate with other Product Managers to ensure consistency across the Tempo ecosystem, prioritize cross-product investments, and identify expansion and cross-sell opportunities through cohesive workflows and shared platform capabilities, including shared AI services and data models
• Shape positioning, messaging, and value narratives for new capabilities and launches, including communicating the value of AI-assisted planning and operational intelligence. Work with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to drive adoption and support strategic accounts

Requirements:

• 10+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years leading complex or multi-product portfolios
• Able to think holistically about how portfolio management, and adjacent products work together to deliver customer and business value
• You prioritize customer outcomes and are comfortable engaging directly with users, from ICs to enterprise leaders
• Experience in work management, capacity planning, portfolio management, or time tracking products — with strong familiarity in the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Confluence) is a plus
• Comfortable leveraging analytics, insights, and AI/ML concepts to inform product decisions and unlock new value for customers
• A strong communicator who can align and inspire cross-functional teams without relying on authority alone
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
