Job description

Company Overview

Docusign brings agreements to life. Over 1.5 million customers and more than a billion people in over 180 countries use Docusign solutions to accelerate the process of doing business and simplify people’s lives. With intelligent agreement management, Docusign unleashes business-critical data that is trapped inside of documents. Until now, these were disconnected from business systems of record, costing businesses time, money, and opportunity. Using Docusign’s Intelligent Agreement Management platform, companies can create, commit, and manage agreements with solutions created by the #1 company in e-signature and contract lifecycle management (CLM).

What you\'ll do

Lead the definition and execution of Docusign\'s product strategy. Partner with the CPO to translate company priorities into a clear, aligned product roadmap and drive execution rigor across all product teams. Build the Product Operations function, systems, processes, tools, and discipline, that enables faster, better-informed decisions and cross-functional alignment. Use automation and AI strategically to eliminate manual work, surface insights, and keep teams moving at velocity.

This position is a people manager role reporting to the Vice President, Product.

• Establish clear product prioritization frameworks and decision-support processes, and own quarterly planning and roadmap development cycles

• Drive adoption of product management discipline, methodologies, and best practices across all product teams

• Create operational cadence for product leadership (reviews, steering, alignment) that keeps teams moving in sync

• Establish product analytics strategy, instrumentation standards, and reporting frameworks

• Create cohort analysis, adoption tracking, and customer health dashboards to inform prioritization

• Enable product teams to self-serve analytics and run experiments with velocity

• Define and track leading indicators of product-market fit and customer success

• Identify high-impact opportunities to automate routine work and streamline processes (analytics aggregation, reporting, stakeholder communication, etc.)

• Evaluate and implement tools—including AI where appropriate—to reduce manual effort and surface insights faster

• Build internal dashboards and self-service capabilities to democratize product data

• Establish repeatable processes to measure and iterate on operational efficiency gains
