About the role:
Tempo’s Atlassian Marketplace business is part of the foundation of our company. It is trusted by tens of thousands of teams and generates significant, durable revenue at scale.
We are seeking a VP of Product to own and scale this business. This is a scale, optimization, and strategic control role.
You will be responsible for driving the next phase of growth for our Marketplace portfolio by:
Expanding customers from single-product usage to multi-module adoption
Deepening our position as the system of record for execution data inside Jira
Navigating Atlassian’s evolving platform strategy while maintaining Tempo’s relevance and differentiation
Acting as the bridge between execution (TEA) and intelligence (Loop)
Potentially building new marketplace apps to fill gaps
This role owns a $200M+ ARR growth opportunity, not through new products alone, but through maximizing the value of what we already have
What You’ll Do:
Own the TEA Business (Revenue + Growth)
Drive cross-module adoption (1.2 → 2+ products per customer)
Define packaging, pricing, and bundling strategies to increase ARR
Partner with GTM to scale expansion within the existing install base
Establish Execution Data as the Moat
Ensure Tempo owns the most complete, trusted dataset for:
Time
Capacity
Structure (hierarchy)
Financial actuals
Analytics
Drive product decisions that improve data quality, depth, and connectivity
Navigate Atlassian as Platform + Competitor
Develop a clear strategy for co-existing with:
Jira Plans
Atlassian Focus
Rovo AI
Teamwork Graph
Make deliberate tradeoffs on where to compete vs. where to integrate
Ensure Tempo remains essential, even as Atlassian expands its native capabilities
Drive Product Focus and Discipline
Maintain clarity on what TEA is—and is not:
TEA = execution data layer
NOT an intelligence layer (that belongs in Loop)
Prevent roadmap drift into areas that dilute strategic positioning
Bridge TEA to Loop
Ensure TEA acts as a primary signal source for Loop
Drive product decisions that increase:
Data usability
Signal quality
Customer readiness to adopt Loop
Partner closely with the Loop product leader to define the upgrade path
Build and Lead a High-Performing Team
Develop strong product leaders who can own modules independently
Create a culture of:
Accountability
Focus
Commercial thinking (not just feature delivery)
Operate effectively in a matrixed environment across Product, GTM, and Engineering
Who You Are:
Proven Operator at Scale
12+ years in Product Management, including VP/Sr Director roles
Experience owning a scaled B2B SaaS product with meaningful ARR
Adopted or familiar with AI driven product processes
Commercially Driven
Strong instincts in:
Packaging and pricing
Expansion strategy
Monetization of installed base
Understands how to turn product decisions into revenue outcomes
Platform + Ecosystem Fluent
Experience building within or alongside major platforms (e.g., Atlassian, Salesforce, Microsoft)
Understands how to win inside someone else’s ecosystem
Disciplined Product Thinker
Can maintain focus and avoid “feature creep”
Makes clear strategic tradeoffs
Knows when not to build
AI change manager
Strong People Leader
Builds trust across teams and functions
Delegates effectively and develops leaders
Creates clarity and alignment, not confusion
Create opportunity for team to excel and advance
What Success Looks Like:
Customers adopt 2+ Tempo modules at a significantly higher rate
TEA becomes the undisputed execution data layer inside Jira
Clear separation is maintained:
TEA = data
Loop = intelligence
TEA customers convert into Loop pipeline and early adopters
Tempo maintains strong positioning despite Atlassian’s expansion
