About the role

We are hiring a Product Manager to own the Capacity Planning product area.

Capacity planning is where organizations decide what they can realistically commit to delivering. Teams must balance available people, competing priorities, and delivery timelines. Many organizations still rely on spreadsheets or disconnected tools to manage this process.

As a product manager for capacity planning, you will own a meaningful product area end-to-end — from understanding customer workflows, to defining features, to working directly with engineers to launch and iterate on solutions. You will focus on improving how teams plan work, allocate people, and adjust commitments as priorities change.

This is a hands-on product role. You will be expected to partner closely with engineering throughout implementation, make day-to-day product decisions, and ensure features are delivered clearly, reliably, and with measurable customer impact.

What you’ll do -

• Own a Product Area

  • Take ownership of the capacity planning experience, including backlog prioritization, feature scoping, and release planning. Translate customer needs and product goals into clear deliverables and outcomes.

• Drive Execution

  • Run sprint planning and backlog refinement with your engineering team. Break down ambiguous problems into actionable stories and ensure work progresses smoothly from concept to release.

• Work Closely with Engineering

  • Collaborate directly with engineers during development. Clarify edge cases, sequence work, resolve tradeoffs, and help unblock implementation decisions.

• Define Requirements & Workflows

  • Write clear product requirements and acceptance criteria. Partner with design to shape workflows that reflect real-world planning and staffing scenarios.

• Understand Customer Planning Behavior

  • Regularly engage with customers (team leads, project managers, and operations leaders) to understand how they allocate people, manage workload, and adjust plans. Use these insights to prioritize improvements.

• Use Data to Guide Decisions

  • Define success metrics, analyze usage patterns, and evaluate whether features improve planning reliability and customer outcomes.

• Coordinate Across Teams

  • Work with adjacent product teams to ensure capacity planning integrates naturally with time tracking, reporting, and broader planning workflows.

• Launch & Iterate

  • Partner with support, marketing, and customer-facing teams during releases. Follow through after launch to measure adoption, address gaps, and improve the experience.

Who you are -

• 4–7 years of product management experience (or equivalent experience delivering software products)

• Experience owning features or a product area from discovery through release

• Strong execution skills and ability to manage delivery without close supervision

• Comfortable working directly with engineers and discussing technical tradeoffs

• Able to break down ambiguous problems into clear plans and requirements

• Experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional behavior

• Able to connect customer needs, technical constraints, and delivery timelines

• Strong communication and organizational skills

• Comfortable leveraging analytics, insights, and AI/ML concepts to inform product decisions and unlock new value for customers.

• Technical background (engineering, computer science, QA, or implementation experience)

• Experience with B2B SaaS or workflow software

• Experience working with APIs, integrations, or data-heavy products
