Job Title: Senior Product Manager – Enterprise DevOps Platforms

GCL: E Introduction To Role Are you ready to build and scale a comprehensive DevOps infrastructure that 20,000–30,000 users depend on to move life-changing science to patients faster! This is your opportunity to set the strategy for tools and services that power developer productivity, accelerate delivery, and raise the quality of decision-making across the company. You will feel the sponsorship behind the mission and see the impact of your choices recognized at the highest levels. You will lead with both vision and execution—bridging business priorities, user experience, engineering capability, oversight, and organizational standards to build a cohesive platform backbone. Working with guides in software development, cybersecurity, system build, and data, you will align Jira, Confluence, GitHub, GitHub Copilot and adjacent services into a secure, scalable, AI-enabled ecosystem. Do you thrive on connecting strategic direction with pragmatic delivery to unlock productivity at scale?

Accountabilities

• Portfolio Product Strategy and Vision: Define and drive the product strategy, vision, and roadmap across the enterprise DevOps platform portfolio, aligning business priorities, engineering needs, platform evolution, and enterprise architecture standards to deliver measurable outcomes.
• Team Leadership and Development: Lead and develop Product Owners across multiple products; set direction, clarify accountabilities, set objectives, coach, handle performance, and build a high-performing, outcome-focused culture.
• Connected Platform Ecosystem: Manage Jira, Confluence, GitHub, GitHub Copilot and related DevOps services as an integrated ecosystem, not isolated tools; align roadmaps, priorities, and service improvements to support a coherent enterprise strategy.
• Portfolio Prioritization and Direction: Run portfolio-level prioritization that balances business value, user needs, adoption, operational sustainability, security, compliance, and long-term platform health; translate strategy into clear direction and support Product Owners in delivering agreed outcomes.
• Enterprise-Scale Adoption: Drive large-scale adoption and effective usage across 20,000–30,000 users; remove barriers, improve usability and accessibility, and partner with engineering coaches, platform teams, and business collaborators to increase engagement and realized value.
• Ensure platforms are delivered as scalable, supportable, and maintainable enterprise-grade services. Align these services with policies, governance, and the overall organizational system build. Promote standardization, consolidation, and simplification to reduce fragmentation.
• Security by Build and Governance: Embed security-by-design, DevSecOps practices, least privilege principles, and regulatory expectations across the portfolio; ensure secure defaults and appropriate governance in partnership with engineering, security, architecture, and compliance.
• Senior Collaborator Engagement and Influence: Engage senior leaders across business and technology to understand priorities, reconcile differing needs, and influence decisions; act as a senior extension business, product, engineering, and governance.
