Job summary

Responsibilities

What does software planning look like when people and artificial intelligence agents work together? As a Staff Product Manager for Planning at GitLab, you'll help answer that question and lead the team toward a clear product direction. This isn't just about improving traditional agile planning.

• 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…
• 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.
• Work with engineering and design to translate product direction into a roadmap and improvements to planning workflows across GitLab.

What they're looking for

• 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.
