Principal Product Manager- Time to First Production

Camunda is the enterprise platform for agentic orchestration, enabling organizations to coordinate AI agents, people, and systems across complex, end-to-end business processes. With built-in governance, auditability, and human oversight, Camunda gives enterprises the control they need to move AI from pilots to production — safely and at scale. Trusted by over 700 organizations worldwide, including 9 of the top 10 US banks, Camunda helps enterprises boost operational efficiency, accelerate time-to-value, and deliver better customer experiences. Fully remote and global, we are transforming into an AI-first organization, built on our own platform.

About the Role

From the moment a team opens Camunda for the first time, our job is to help them succeed — fast. As Principal Product Manager for Time to First Production, you'll own the journey from a new team's very first workspace (or first local start) to their first process running confidently in production. Your mission is to make that first win happen sooner, more smoothly, and more reliably than ever before.

You'll be the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for one of Product Strategy's three company-wide outcome areas, with the autonomy to define what a great first experience looks like, build the measurement that proves we're delivering it, and set the strategy and priorities that Engineering, Design, and our Experience org build against. You'll work at the intersection of Camunda's push into agentic, AI-first ways of building and the fundamentals of a great first-run experience (onboarding, guided building, testing, and the path to production).

Responsibilities

• Own the Time to First Production outcome area end-to-end: define its north-star metric(s), the customer journey they represent, and the roadmap of investments ("rocks" and initiatives) that move them.
• Partner with the Validation team to build best-in-class, end-to-end measurement of the journey, so we always know exactly how well we're delivering for new teams and where to invest next.
• Set direction and make prioritization calls across a portfolio of initiatives spanning AI-assisted and agentic building experiences, guided onboarding, testing/validation tooling, the path to production, and human-in-the-loop process experiences — in close partnership with Engineering, Design, and Experience pod leads.
• Represent this outcome area to SLT, Product Marketing, and GTM, translating fast-moving product work into a clear, evidence-based narrative for internal and external audiences.
• Collaborate closely with fellow Outcome DRIs (Enterprise Adoption, Production Confidence) to keep the three outcome areas coherent as one product strategy, and to hand work cleanly across the outcome boundaries (e.g., "first process" vs. "the second process and beyond").
• Bring an outside-in, evidence-based lens — grounding roadmap decisions in real customer needs and feedback, not internal assumptions.

Requirements

• Significant experience as a Principal/Staff-level Product Manager owning a cross-cutting, metrics-driven outcome or platform area (not a single feature surface) in B2B or enterprise SaaS.
• A track record of building measurement and north-star metrics from scratch — comfortable partnering with data/analytics functions to go from "we don't really know" to a credible, trusted number.
• Strong influence and cross-functional leadership skills: you can align Engineering, Design, GTM, and executive stakeholders around a strategy without relying on formal authority.
• Excellent written communication — this role's primary tool is the strategy document that others build against, so clear, structured writing matters as much as decision-making.
• A genuine passion for customer experience, paired with comfort shaping your own remit as the outcome area, its metric, and its roadmap continue to evolve.
• An interest in (or track record with) AI-native and agentic ways of working — Camunda's product organization is actively building for a world where AI agents build, test, and even help re-engineer processes.

Nice to Haves

• Background in process automation, workflow orchestration, BPM, or developer platforms.
• Experience partnering with Product Marketing / Analyst Relations on category or outcome-level positioning.
• Experience in a company mid-transition to an AI-first product operating model.
