About the Team

Celigo’s product organization is built on deep collaboration between Product Management, UX Design and Research, and Engineering — co-owning outcomes from problem definition through delivery. Our leadership team runs on a charter built around dynamic domain ownership, evidence-based strategy, and AI-augmented velocity, meaning we use AI not just in our products but to make our own teams faster and smarter. You’ll work alongside a Sr Director of UX, a Director of PM covering other parts of the portfolio, a Director of Product Operations, and Engineering leadership. The culture is direct, craft-oriented, and allergic to performative alignment. We debate hard behind closed doors and present a united front to our teams.

The Opportunity

You’ll lead a team of experienced product managers covering the core platform, AI (Ora, Agent Builder, MCP Server, Guardrails), API management (including an OEM partnership), and data ingestion (including an OEM partnership). The portfolio is broad, strategically important, and directly tied to Celigo’s competitive positioning in the iPaaS market. The team is capable and in place, and we’re continuing to deepen strategic autonomy across the PM org — strengthening the muscle for PMs to define problems, make decisions, and own outcomes with increasing independence. You’ll carry that work forward while also sitting at the center of Celigo’s AI transformation, both shipping AI products that deliver real customer outcomes and evolving how product development works in an AI-first environment.

What would you do if hired?

  • Own product strategy for Core Platform, AI, API Management, and Data Ingestion — developing multi-quarter roadmaps tied to revenue, retention, and competitive positioning.
  • Continue deepening strategic autonomy across the PM org — extend decision-making authority and vision ownership to senior PMs and strengthen the structures that sustain independent operation.
  • Drive AI product-market fit — ensure Celigo’s AI capabilities translate into measurable customer success with autonomous agents and AI-assisted integrations.
  • Lead the AI transformation of PM practice — bring a point of view on how AI reshapes the PM role and the product development lifecycle, then operationalize it.
  • Manage and develop a distributed team — set clear expectations, build trust across time zones, and raise the bar on talent.
  • Represent Celigo externally — support strategic sales, speak at events, and contribute to analyst relations (Gartner, Forrester) to strengthen market position.

Who are we looking for?

Skills & Abilities

  • Strong external communication skills — sales support, conference speaking, analyst engagement
  • History of developing leaders internally — coaching senior ICs into people leaders and managers into directors

Education & Experience

  • More than 15 years of progressive product management experience in technical B2B SaaS with complex, customer-facing products
  • Demonstrated Sr Director-level scope — multi-product-line strategy, business outcomes ownership, and organizational change leadership
  • Expert partnership with UX across research, design, and content, driving measurable customer and business outcomes through co-ownership
  • Hands-on experience shipping AI-native or AI-augmented products (not just AI-adjacent)
  • Track record managing distributed teams, including teams based in India
  • Experience in mid-scale companies (~750 people); comfort operating with less infrastructure than a mega-corp

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with integration platforms, API management, or data pipeline products
  • Familiarity with iPaaS market dynamics and competitive landscape (Gartner MQ, Forrester Wave)
  • Experience managing OEM partnerships or embedded technology relationships
  • A formed perspective (backed by experience) on how AI is transforming the PDLC and the PM role

How We Work

Product Managers at Celigo are expected to be grounded in customer insight, fluent in data, and accountable for outcomes — not just delivery. We use AI as a force multiplier across the product development lifecycle, and we expect leaders to model that. Our craft culture values evidence over opinion, direct feedback over diplomatic silence, and strategic clarity over activity volume.

Pay

Celigo reasonably expects to pay a base salary between $210,000 and $230,000 per year for this position. Actual starting base pay will be determined by skills, experience, geographic location, and other non-discriminatory factors permitted by law. Total compensation may also include variable incentives, benefits, or other perks as outlined in any formal employment offer made.

Why Celigo

We believe excellence comes from each of us — and that conviction shapes how we build products, develop people, and compete. Celigo is a place where asking “How can it be better?” isn’t a slogan; it’s how we operate every day. We invest in people with real career paths, direct coaching, and a high bar that respects your craft. And we win when our customers win — every product decision traces back to measurable customer outcomes. If you want a role where strategy is real, autonomy is earned and expected, and AI isn’t a buzzword but a daily practice — we’d like to talk.
