Vice President, Product Management

SmartBear is a company that delivers application integrity for modern tech stacks, ensuring software works as intended. They are seeking a Vice President of Product Management to lead their test products, focusing on strategy, growth, and integration of quality into developer workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Define and execute product strategy for SmartBear’s test portfolio, with a clear view of where AI and agentic workflows are changing the competitive landscape
• Own the roadmap for how testing and quality integrate into SDLC workflows and how SmartBear’s products get discovered, evaluated, and selected in an increasingly AI-mediated buying environment
• Ensure product architecture and positioning keep pace with the shift from human-driven to agent-driven tool evaluation, including API surface, integration depth, and structured metadata that make products accessible to agentic orchestration
• Align product strategy with SmartBear’s Application Integrity evolution and ensure coherence across Reflect and Qmetry and the broader portfolio
• Engage directly with customers, partners, and external stakeholders to keep strategy grounded in real-world usage and adoption dynamics
• Drive adoption, retention, expansion, and revenue growth for your products, with accountability to portfolio-level targets
• Partner closely with GTM teams on pricing, packaging, and ecosystem strategies and serve as a key voice in how Test Management shows up in market
• Optimize across product-led and sales-led growth motions, including AI-influenced discovery and evaluation paths
• Identify expansion opportunities across customers, channels, and partner ecosystems, including positioning within platforms where AI agents recommend tooling
• Lead and develop a team of Product Managers, including PMs who manage others
• Set clear expectations for roadmap quality, discovery rigor, and execution discipline and hold the team to them
• Partner with Engineering and UX to deliver high-quality, reliable releases on a consistent cadence
• Build operational muscle: quarterly planning, cross-team alignment, and a PM org that runs without hand-holding
• Work closely with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success on GTM alignment, enablement, and external narrative
• Serve as a key product voice in customer, partner, and analyst conversations, owning the external story, not just informing it
• Build and maintain partnerships with key technology and channel partners, including Atlassian and relevant platform ecosystems
• Ensure feedback from outside the building consistently informs roadmap decisions

Requirements:

• AI product experience, not just fluency
• Executive-grade GTM partnership
• Proven people leadership at the VP level
• Deep enough domain fluency to be credible from day one
• Strong ecosystem and partner instincts
• 10+ years of product management experience, including leading product teams in SaaS or enterprise environments
