BlueOptima is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own one of its most business-critical products — a platform used by nine of the world's top twelve universal banks to optimize software engineering performance and productivity. You will report directly to the VP of Product and operate with high autonomy to set product strategy and roadmap. This is a senior individual contributor role with mentorship responsibilities and potential for formal people leadership as the team scales. **Key Responsibilities:** Own the strategic roadmap for the product, holding it accountable to Net Revenue Retention (NRR), Monthly Active Users (MAUs), feature adoption, stickiness, competitive positioning, and net-new logo growth. Track these metrics closely to catch early signals and reprioritize accordingly. Provide technical and design leadership by holding a strong point of view on front-end design and UX quality. Partner deeply with ML engineering on model behavior and evaluation, and with backend engineering on system and data architecture at a level that shapes technical decisions. Engage directly with executive and C-suite stakeholders, presenting and defending roadmap and strategy under scrutiny. Serve as a credible product voice with enterprise customers and prospects, including active participation in sales cycles. Partner with Sales, Product Marketing, and Customer Success on positioning, deal support, and renewals as an ongoing responsibility. Bring informed perspective on engineering productivity and performance measurement in the agentic-AI era into product strategy. Mentor product managers working in and around the product, with opportunity to take on formal people leadership as the team grows. Set the standard for product craft — problem framing, PRDs, roadmap collaboration, and post-launch measurement. Bring rigor, discipline, and process to cross-functional teams. Use agentic AI tools as part of your own product management workflow and help the wider team adopt them effectively. **Requirements:** - Minimum 8 years of experience in technical B2B SaaS Product Management - Understanding of what it takes to sell B2B SaaS and AI products into large, regulated, or enterprise organizations - Well-informed point of view on developer and agentic productivity and performance; hands-on experience using agentic tools as part of your own workflow - Prior experience leading products within AI SDLC, Software Engineering Intelligence, DevOps, Developer Tools, Data Analytics, and/or Agentic AI - Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous, multi-product environments - Strong, data-driven product leader who knows when to lean on data and when to lean on judgment - Ability to understand and shape product experience and hold your own in technical conversations with both engineers and executives
