With over 30,000 customers — including a third of the Fortune 500 — Tempo is trusted by organizations around the world to make work visible, predictable, and impactful.
We build a powerful suite of integrated solutions across time tracking, capacity & resource planning, strategic portfolio management, roadmapping, program management, and reporting. Our products help modern teams plan with confidence and execute with clarity — from strategy through delivery.
From our roots as the #1 time-tracking solution for Jira, Tempo has grown into one of the most trusted names in the Atlassian ecosystem. We’re a remote-first company that values craft, collaboration, and building products with heart.
About the role
As a Principal Product Manager for Project & Portfolio Management, you will lead the strategy, growth, and evolution of a core area of Tempo’s planning and execution solutions. These products help organizations understand how work is progressing, how plans change over time, and where coordination or delivery risk requires attention.
This role is central to enabling customers to plan realistically, execute efficiently, and connect day-to-day work with broader strategic outcomes.
You will operate at both a strategic and hands-on level, working closely with senior Product and Engineering leaders, customers, and cross-functional partners. You will own the vision and roadmap for a set of closely related capabilities, ensuring they work seamlessly together and integrate across Tempo’s broader portfolio. Your work will directly impact retention, expansion, and customer trust at scale.
Candidates must be willing to work East Coast hours.
What you’ll do -
Own and evolve the product vision for Tempo’s Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) solutions, connecting strategic planning, portfolio prioritization, resource capacity, financial tracking, and execution data into a unified system. Incorporate AI-driven planning and recommendations to help organizations align investments with business outcomes and continuously adapt plans as conditions change.
Drive end-to-end roadmap ownership across multiple interconnected products. Balance customer value, technical investment, and scalability while sequencing work that strengthens the overall portfolio — not just individual applications. Identify opportunities to embed AI capabilities such as predictive planning, intelligent automation, and workflow assistance across the product ecosystem.
Design capabilities that help organizations answer critical questions:
Are we working on the right initiatives? Do we have the capacity? Are we on track? Are we delivering value?
Leverage AI to support scenario planning, prioritization recommendations, delivery risk detection, and forecast accuracy across portfolios.
Build a deep understanding of how portfolio managers, PMOs, and engineering leaders plan and operate at scale through customer interviews, discovery sessions, and usage analysis. Ensure solutions reflect real operating models while simplifying complexity through intelligent guidance and automation.
Partner closely with engineering, design, and other product teams to deliver connected experiences across time tracking, capacity planning, cost management, and portfolio visibility — enabling customers to move seamlessly from planning to execution to reporting. Integrate AI assistants that help users navigate workflows, surface insights, and reduce manual administrative effort.
Lead the evolution of planning and reporting capabilities, including forecasting, portfolio health indicators, and executive insights. Introduce AI-powered analytics such as delivery risk alerts, anomaly detection, trend analysis, and outcome prediction to help customers proactively manage delivery and performance.
Collaborate with other Product Managers to ensure consistency across the Tempo ecosystem, prioritize cross-product investments, and identify expansion and cross-sell opportunities through cohesive workflows and shared platform capabilities, including shared AI services and data models.
Shape positioning, messaging, and value narratives for new capabilities and launches, including communicating the value of AI-assisted planning and operational intelligence. Work with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to drive adoption and support strategic accounts.
Who you are -
10+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years leading complex or multi-product portfolios.
Able to think holistically about how portfolio management, and adjacent products work together to deliver customer and business value.
You prioritize customer outcomes and are comfortable engaging directly with users, from ICs to enterprise leaders.
Experience in work management, capacity planning, portfolio management, or time tracking products — with strong familiarity in the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Confluence) is a plus.
Comfortable leveraging analytics, insights, and AI/ML concepts to inform product decisions and unlock new value for customers.
A strong communicator who can align and inspire cross-functional teams without relying on authority alone.
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. MBA or advanced degree is a plus.
