Senior Product Manager - Hybrid IT Automation

Stonebranch builds IT orchestration and automation solutions that transform business IT environments. They are seeking a hands-on Senior Product Manager to own the product strategy behind their Universal Automation Center platform, focusing on market opportunities and customer feedback to drive product innovation and execution.

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 where the portfolio needs to evolve next
• 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 those teams can execute against
• 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

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
• 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
