Product Management Director

The Director of Product Management, Enterprise Connectivity at Workato is a leadership role that combines deep tactical involvement with strategic ownership. This person owns the roadmap and vision for Workato's connectivity platform — spanning connectors to SaaS apps, cloud platforms, databases, and legacy and on-premises systems, as well as the platform extensions that expand their functional reach: Data Tables, Decision Models, EDI, RPA, and MFT — while staying closely engaged in execution, problem-solving, and process improvement alongside the team. Leading and developing a team of PMs is central to the role, providing the structure and direction that allows both the team and the product area to scale.

Product Roadmap Development - Own the enterprise connectivity roadmap end-to-end, managing interdependencies across a tightly coupled product surface while balancing customer demand, competitive positioning, and long-term investment. - Maintain roadmap alignment with engineering, sales, and customer success to ensure consistent prioritization and successful delivery. Execution & Delivery - Take an active role in identifying and resolving execution bottlenecks — improving processes, clarifying ownership, and ensuring the team has what it needs to deliver. - Lead product launches end-to-end, from internal enablement through customer adoption, coordinating across functions to ensure consistent and well-executed rollouts. Team Leadership - Shape the team's portfolio structure and ownership model to ensure full coverage across a wide product surface, while continuously hiring, mentoring, and developing PM talent. - Actively drive the team's adoption of AI tools as part of day-to-day product development practice. Performance & Accountability - Define and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics around connector adoption, usage, customer satisfaction, performance, and reliability. - Establish and maintain the team's operating rhythm — prioritization cycles, reviews, and progress reporting — ensuring consistent execution across a broad product scope. Customer & Market Engagement - Actively engage with enterprise customers, prospects, and partners to understand their integration use cases, needs, and expectations. - Represent enterprise connectivity capabilities and strategy in customer briefings, industry conferences, and analyst discussions.
