Job Level
About the role
- Own the strategy, roadmap, and backlog for TBox and related automation capabilities (desktop, web, SAP, APIs, mobile integration, AI/agentic automation).
- Act as the committed product lead for one or more agile teams in Vienna; define epics and user stories and drive delivery from discovery through release.
- Balance short-term needs (stability, performance, parity gaps) with longer-term bets (agentic execution, cloud-first and hybrid/on-prem execution models).
- Collaborate closely with engineering, architecture, UX, and QA to design solutions that are technically feasible, scalable, and maintainable.
- Define how TBox underpins Tosca Cloud and Agentic Test Automation (ATA), ensuring AI/agentic capabilities generate robust, reusable TBox-based tests.
- Partner with platform and identity teams where needed (execution agents, cloud integration, hybrid/on-prem flows).
- Engage regularly with customers, field teams, and partners to understand real-world automation scenarios and translate them into prioritised use cases and requirements.
- Track competing automation approaches (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, UiPath, ACCELQ, UFT, open source) and ensure TBox maintains a differentiated position.
- Work with Product Marketing and Sales Engineering on TBox positioning, messaging, and sales plays as part of the broader Tosca platform story.
- Support go-to-market for key releases (enablement, demo scenarios, “what’s new/why it matters” content) and represent Tosca automation in executive and customer meetings.
- Create alignment across Tosca Cloud, ATA/AI, test management, SAP solutions, and NeoLoad so automation investments are coherent and reused.
- Provide mentoring and guidance to other PMs working near the automation stack and help uplift product discovery and decision-making across teams.
Requirements
- 7+ years of Product Management (or closely related experience) in B2B enterprise software, including 3+ years owning significant product areas or teams.
- Strong hands-on experience with test automation and/or quality engineering tools (e.g., Tosca, Selenium-based tools, Cypress, Playwright, UFT, RPA or similar frameworks) preferred.
- Demonstrated experience with Windows client/server and desktop automation, plus familiarity with web and API automation, is highly preferred.
- Solid understanding of SDLC, CI/CD, and modern DevOps/QA practices (e.g., GitHub, Azure DevOps, Jira, Jenkins, cloud-native architectures).
- Proven track record of defining strategy and roadmaps for complex technical products and successfully shipping improvements that deliver measurable customer value.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills; able to work effectively with engineers, architects, executives, field teams, and customers.
- Practical experience working in agile environments (Scrum/Kanban), including writing epics/stories and partnering closely with engineering leaders.
- Fluent English, written and spoken.
