Summary
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to drive Temporal’s product-led growth and self-service strategy. In this role, you’ll build intuitive, data-informed experiences that help developers and teams discover, activate, and scale with Temporal — without friction. You’ll focus on improving how new users onboard, find value, and grow their usage, directly shaping how thousands of developers experience and adopt Temporal Cloud.
Your work will accelerate our product adoption and conversion across key funnel stages, helping lay the foundation for long-term engagement and growth.
What You’ll Do
• Own the self-serve experience — define and execute on strategies that make it seamless for new users to sign up, onboard, and realize value in Temporal Cloud.
• Lead product-led growth initiatives that drive activation, adoption, and expansion through in-product experiences, lifecycle touchpoints, and experimentation.
• Collaborate closely with Marketing, Growth Engineering, and Design to optimize acquisition funnels, onboarding flows, and key user journeys.
• Use data, behavioral analytics, and user research to identify friction points and prioritize high-impact opportunities for growth.
• Champion the developer experience — ensuring that onboarding, documentation, and product design create a clear and rewarding path to success.
• Define and monitor key metrics such as activation, retention, conversion, and expansion to measure impact and guide iteration.
• Work cross-functionally to align PLG initiatives with broader product and go-to-market priorities.
What You’ll Bring
• 6–8+ years of product management experience, including ownership of self-serve, PLG, or growth-focused initiatives in SaaS or developer-centric products.
• Strong understanding of product funnels, activation metrics, experimentation, and lifecycle optimization.
• Proven experience partnering with engineering, design, and data teams to deliver measurable results.
• Fluency with analytics tools (Amplitude, Mixpanel, SQL, BigQuery, or similar) and ability to interpret data to guide decisions.
• Familiarity with open-source or developer ecosystem products is a strong plus.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills — able to clearly articulate vision and motivate teams around shared goals.
• A hands-on, curious mindset with a passion for experimentation, measurement, and continuous improvement.
