About the position
PagerDuty is seeking a Senior Director of Product Management, AI and Automation, to lead the industry’s transformation toward fully automated operations. Our vision: a world where empowered developers build and ship applications 10x faster with AI, and those applications run reliably and autonomously in production. When the unexpected happens, AI agents and automated remediation will resolve most issues—so human teams can focus on innovation, not firefighting. In this pivotal role, you’ll own both our current AI and Automation portfolio and its seamless integration into PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Your work will accelerate incident detection, triage, diagnosis, and remediation—plus enable proactive, planned operations. The result? Our customers’ teams spend less time on operational toil and more time building what’s next. This is a unique opportunity for a strategic, hands-on leader who thrives at the intersection of vision, execution, and team leadership. You’ll report directly to the SVP of Product Management, set the strategic direction with your peers leading Incident Management and AIOps, and inspire a high-performing team to deliver breakthrough value for our customers—and drive PagerDuty’s growth.
