Senior Product Manager, Project & Task Experience

About the role

The Product Management team drives Asana's product strategy and execution, translating customer needs and opportunities into a compelling roadmap and working cross-functionally to deliver impactful solutions for team productivity and collaboration. We are helping to define the Work Management category and inventing new ways for teams to work more efficiently together and see the larger purpose behind their work. Our team works directly with Engineering, Design, Experience Research, and Data Science, as well as with Sales, Support, and Marketing to ship great products. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the team that enables customers to turn their work into concrete plans. This team owns the core surfaces people rely on to structure, organize, and view their work in Asana - including Pages, projects, list views, and My Tasks, among others - spanning both 0 to 1 experiences and deep, high-stakes improvements to workflows that millions of teams use every day. Because these surfaces are foundational to how people work in Asana, decisions here ripple across nearly every other team at the company, and this role requires aligning multiple partners around complex, sometimes ambiguous tradeoffs. This role is based in our New York City office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner. If you are interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements.

What you'll do

• Set the strategy for a program or large workstream within our core planning experience, aligned with broader group goals.
• Drive end-to-end delivery of multi-month initiatives - from problem definition through launch - often defining work that lands on other teams' roadmaps and requires coordinating delivery across multiple teams, rather than owning a single piece of a larger initiative.
• Scope tight MVPs and prioritize rigorously, making sound decisions even without perfect information.
• Facilitate complex, multi-team alignment - our surfaces touch nearly every other team at Asana, so building consensus and driving cross-functional coordination is central to the role.
• Connect regularly with customers, using those insights to guide strategy, especially around how large and enterprise teams configure and scale their use of Asana.
• Mentor other product managers and help raise the bar on product craft across the team.
• Analyze behavioral data and qualitative feedback to identify patterns that inform iterative improvements to core planning surfaces.
• Translate ambiguous business goals into clear product requirements and success metrics that multiple teams can execute against.
• Partner with design and engineering to define technical feasibility and tradeoffs without compromising product outcomes.
• Represent product perspectives in high-stakes discussions where priorities compete for limited resources.
• Break down complex workflows into manageable components that different teams can own while maintaining coherence across the experience.
• Challenge assumptions by asking insightful questions that surface risks early in the planning process.
• Synthesize input from sales, support, and marketing to ensure product decisions reflect real-world demands.
• Maintain a pragmatic balance between long-term vision and short-term execution demands.

Requirements

• Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making.
• 5+ years of Product Management experience, with a track record of driving - not just contributing to - end-user features rather than purely internal or platform-only work.
• Experience shipping multi-month, end-to-end initiatives that require close coordination across multiple teams, including work that puts deliverables on other teams' roadmaps, where you owned the full arc from definition to delivery.
• You understand how large organizations actually get work done - messy structures, competing workflows, teams that need the same feature to serve very different purposes - and you have shaped product decisions around that complexity, not just built controls to manage it.
• Systems thinker: you are comfortable reasoning about how a change in one part of a platform affects adjacent and dependent surfaces, while still caring deeply about the individual, in-the-moment experience for the person using it.
• Strong cross-functional communicator: you can align multiple teams around a hard decision and keep execution moving even when consensus is hard to reach.
• A growth mindset: you seek out feedback, reflect, and actively mentor others.
• Background at a work management company (e.g. Dropbox, Box, Google Workspace, Jira) or a mid-to-large enterprise SaaS company with a complex, specific use case (e.g. ServiceNow, Zendesk) is a plus, but not required.
