Staff Product Manager, Agentic Planning

GitLab is hiring a Staff Product Manager for Planning to shape the future direction of planning as people and AI agents collaborate in software development. The role sets product priorities and strategy, evaluates connections between software delivery and business goals, and partners with engineering, design, and product leadership to improve planning workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Define a clear direction for planning as software development shifts toward collaboration between people and artificial intelligence agents, and help the team move from open questions to concrete priorities
• Shape how users capture intent, break it into actionable work, and determine which work can proceed autonomously and which needs human involvement
• Evaluate whether and how planning should connect software delivery to company priorities, business objectives, and budgets
• Share ownership of planning capabilities, including work items, boards, specifications, and portfolio planning, with a fellow product manager. Help define how that scope is divided
• Work with engineering and design to translate product direction into a roadmap and improvements to planning workflows across GitLab
• Communicate your recommendations clearly to senior leaders, challenge assumptions constructively, and lead the team through changes in direction

Requirements:

• Experience leading product strategy and execution for software development, developer tools, or planning products, with the depth to make decisions in a specialized product area
• A strong understanding of software development and development and operations (DevOps) workflows, including how planning decisions affect downstream delivery
• The ability to form and defend a product point of view in an uncertain, changing market, while staying open to different ideas
• Clear communication with technical teams and senior executives, including experience challenging leadership decisions constructively and building support for a direction
• The ability to connect a forward-looking strategy to practical product decisions and work collaboratively across product, engineering, and design
