Gearset's Core product group owns the capabilities that every user relies on: from planning changes through to deploying them into Salesforce. This includes our core deployment product, our new flagship Org Intelligence product, ecosystem coverage for the evolving Salesforce platform, and the experience for individual contributors, admins, developers, and everyone in between. Each product area delivers real value today, and the team is strong. The strategic opportunity is in weaving these capabilities into a cohesive experience, so users feel like they're on one seamless journey from planning a change to landing it safely in production. AI is also opening up exciting opportunities to rethink these workflows, you'd help shape how we use AI thoughtfully to unlock problems that were previously intractable. You won't inherit a roadmap, you'll inherit a problem space that needs sharpening. You'd also be shaping the group's identity, articulating the bigger picture for a talented team who need a leader to bring it all together. Part of the job is working with us to refine the group's scope. We have a strong starting point, but we'd expect the right person to help us refine it. What's the opportunity for a Group Product Manager at Gearset? Take ownership of the Core group's product strategy, diagnosing the problem space and building a clear plan, making real trade offs and not trying to do everything. Own the commercial success of your group's products. From shaping our positioning and route to market with Product Marketing, to driving adoption and activation with Sales and Customer Success. You'd iterate on how we get products into customers' hands and ensure they deliver real value once they're there. Report directly to our VP Product and partner closely with the other Group Product Managers and the CPO. Your engineering counterpart is an experienced Dev Manager, and the product managers in the group are strong individual contributors who are ready for someone to help them connect their work to a wider strategy. Manage, coach and develop a team of product managers. Your success isn't just about what the group ships, it's about the people in your team growing and you actively finding them opportunities to do that. What you'll achieve You'll have diagnosed and implemented a product strategy for the Core group that turns individually valuable products into a cohesive experience, so that users planning, making, and deploying changes feel like they're using one product, not several. You'll have taken ownership of your group's commercial and product goals. Not just through what you build and how you position it, but by driving change and action across Gearset to achieve them. You'll have keen awareness of how your group is contributing to, or learning from, the overall business performance. You'll have got your teams working well together, with a clear plan that connects back to the strategy. You're shipping regularly and learning from it. You'll have developed and coached your product team to be doing their best work. You'll be someone people look to for how things should be done, living our values and product principles. About you Have been in a Group Product Manager, Product Director, or equivalent position for a couple of years or more, with a proven track record of navigating ambiguity and organisational dynamics to create coherence across multiple product areas and taking new products to market. Are able to conduct deep strategy diagnosis, going broad and deep to get to the crux of the problem and define a crisp strategy. You know what you're not doing, and why. Have a track record of working hand-in-hand with sales and customer success — you're comfortable owning the commercial strategy and market narrative for your product area, and Sales would trust you in front of a customer's leadership team. Have an outstanding product sense and genuine empathy for users. JTBD is how you think, not just a framework you use, and you're viewed as an exemplar at this by your colleagues. Are an exceptional communicator and storyteller who can take complexity and make it simple, compelling, and actionable. Are experienced in managing teams of 2-4 people, coaching through questions not directives. People who've worked for you say they did their best work under your leadership. Enjoy talking to users, and have an infectious passion for building products that solve clear user problems in delightful ways.
