You will drive a portfolio vision, align roadmaps with company priorities, and partner with Engineering to deliver scalable platform capabilities that enable long-term growth.

You will coach PMs, manage complex cross-functional initiatives, and shape the product-management operating model for enterprise

Job description

• Corporate Systems Product Management focuses on the internal platforms that power how Smartsheet operates - including Finance, People, Sales and Entitlements, Billing and Monetization, Enterprise Systems Data, and AI & Automation
• Product Managers in this team steward product strategy, roadmaps, business workflows, and long-term platform evolution across these domains, partnering closely with Engineering and business stakeholders to translate complex enterprise needs into scalable technology outcomes
• As Group Product Manager – Corporate Systems, you will lead the Product Management function across Corporate Systems, managing and developing a team of Product Managers responsible for some of Smartsheet’s most critical internal technology domains
• You will establish a cohesive product strategy across the portfolio, ensuring domain roadmaps connect to company priorities while identifying dependencies and opportunities that span traditional organizational and system boundaries
• You will operate at both the strategic and execution levels: coaching Product Managers to develop strong product practices, partnering with Engineering leadership on portfolio strategy and investment decisions, and directly engaging in the most complex cross-functional initiatives
• You will help evolve Corporate Systems from a collection of enterprise applications and projects into a product-led portfolio of platforms, capabilities, data, integrations, and employee experiences designed for long-term scale
• You will report to the Senior Director of Corporate Systems and collaborate closely with Engineering leadership and senior stakeholders across Finance, People & Culture, Sales/GTM, Product Engineering, Data, Security, and other business functions
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Product Managers responsible for Financial Systems, People Systems, Sales & Entitlements, Billing & Monetization, Enterprise Systems Data, and AI & Automation
• Define and evolve the product-management operating model for Corporate Systems, establishing consistent practices for product discovery, customer problem definition, roadmap development, prioritization, requirements, metrics, and lifecycle management
• Establish a cohesive portfolio strategy that connects individual product domains to Corporate Systems and company-level objectives
• Partner with Engineering leadership to align product and technical strategy, ensuring investments balance new capabilities with platform health, reliability, scalability, security, technical debt, and operational sustainability
• Drive portfolio-level prioritization and investment decisions across competing business needs, helping teams focus capacity on the highest-value problems and outcomes
• Identify and manage dependencies across domains, particularly where business processes span Product, Sales, entitlements, billing, Finance, People systems, integrations, automation, and enterprise data
• Coach Product Managers to deeply understand their customers, business processes, systems, data flows, and technical constraints rather than operating primarily as requirements or project managers
• Raise the technical and systems fluency of the Product Management organization, enabling PMs to effectively partner with software engineers, architects, application engineers, Data teams, and Security
• Ensure product strategies and roadmaps are grounded in measurable customer and business outcomes, with clear success metrics and mechanisms for evaluating product health and value
• Create clarity across ambiguous or highly cross-functional initiatives where ownership, requirements, system boundaries, or desired outcomes are not immediately clear
• Partner with senior business leaders to understand strategic priorities and translate them into coherent technology capabilities and investment plans
• Lead product thinking for major cross-domain transformations such as new pricing and monetization models, enterprise AI adoption, ERP and billing modernization, enterprise data governance, and automation
• Establish mechanisms for portfolio planning, roadmap reviews, product health reviews, dependency management, and executive communication across Corporate Systems
• Ensure Product Managers balance stakeholder requests with longer-term product strategy, challenging solution-first requirements and identifying opportunities to simplify, standardize, automate, or eliminate processes
• Champion data-informed product management, including clear product KPIs, adoption measures, operational metrics, customer feedback, and outcome measurement
• Partner with Engineering leadership to improve how Product and Engineering teams work together from discovery and design through delivery, operational readiness, adoption, and continuous improvement
• Communicate portfolio strategy, investment decisions, progress, risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs clearly to senior leadership
• Build strong relationships across Product Engineering, Finance, People & Culture, Sales/GTM, Data, Security, and other functions, influencing outcomes across organizational boundaries without direct authority
• Support hiring, onboarding, performance management, career development, and capability building for the Corporate Systems Product Management team
