In this role, you will lead a unit of five product teams and manage a team of five Product Managers.

• Excellent UX judgment: Ability to balance power and simplicity in complex product experiences.

Standout Qualities:

• Experience in B2B SaaS enterprise products in collaboration or productivity area
• Practical understanding of AI-native product development and agentic workflows.
• Visionary mindset and ability to redefine complex products vision

We’re a team of innovators and creators who solve the complex work problems of today and tomorrow.

Wrike is our people, not a place.

While flexibility looks different across teams and regions, employees located near certain hubs — particularly in Prague (CZ), Nicosia (CY), Bangalore (IN), and Rennes (FR) — are generally expected to collaborate in person around 2–3 days per week, balancing the flexibility of distributed work with opportunities for in‑person collaboration and connection.
