Senior Director, Platform Product Management

PagerDuty is seeking a Senior Director, Platform Product Management to join our diverse, customer-focused team in leading the industry’s transformation to fully automated operations! Our vision: a world where AI-augmented software developers build and ship applications 10x faster, and those applications run reliably and autonomously in production. When the unexpected happens, AI agents and automated remediation will resolve most issues—so human teams can focus on innovation, not firefighting.

In this pivotal role, you'll own the foundation of the PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a key technical product leader across several development teams. You’ll define our platform strategy, evolve our roadmap and guide execution. The platform team will create leverage for internal application development teams to build new products faster and enable customers and partners to integrate PagerDuty with other tools. You’ll work directly with our largest, most sophisticated customers who seek a high level of configurability, scalability and security to manage real-time work across their tool stack.

The ideal candidate will bridge the world between API-first platform principles and understanding the burning problems of application development teams and external developers (in customer accounts, ISVs, plus tech and distribution partners). You're equally comfortable discussing the merits of an API structure and the business case for integration with a potential platform partner. You can rapidly learn 3rd-party applications and their platform concepts (ServiceNow, Atlassian, Salesforce, etc) and design a platform strategy that is valuable, feasible, usable, and viable.

Important note: While this role is posted as remote, candidates who are located near one of our hub locations (San Francisco, Atlanta, or Toronto) will be given preference.
