About the Role

We're seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead product strategy and execution for Copia's Source Control product and our newest product, Copia Actions. Source Control is Copia's flagship product, used by automation engineers to branch, diff, review, and version their PLC and automation code. Copia Actions is a brand-new product that extends Source Control with automated workflows: a CI/CD layer for industrial automation, where customers can trigger

• Working with the Head of Product, you'll develop actionable hypotheses that guide our product initiatives, contributing to product roadmaps and strategy.
• In partnership with engineering, you'll prioritize and manage the project backlog in alignment with the product roadmap.
  You'll work closely with engineering to define requirements and create specifications for new projects or features.
• You will manage customer feedback channels and market research activities, using data to validate or adjust product iterations.
• You will work cross-functionally with marketing, success, and engineering for product launch planning.
• Own the Source Control roadmap: Define and prioritize improvements across branching, diffing, code review, version history, and integrations with the PLC IDEs and automation platforms our customers use every day.
• Lead Copia Actions from 0-1: Define the MVP, identify the right use cases (e.g., automated testing of PLC code, deployment pipelines, governance and compliance checks), and bring the product through alpha, beta, and GA.
• Be the voice of the automation engineer: Understand how controls engineers, PLC programmers, and OT teams ship code today, and where the workflow breaks down.
• Drive cross-functional impact: Partner with other product teams (Platform, DeviceLink, Copilot) so Source Control and Actions fit cleanly into the rest of Copia.
• Customer & stakeholder engagement: Act as both internal product expert and external face of the product, working directly with customers, solution engineers, partners, and leadership.
• Metrics & outcomes: Establish KPIs for Source Control engagement (commits, PRs, reviews) and Copia Actions adoption (workflows created, runs); measure impact on retention and customer satisfaction.

About You

• You have 5-7 years of hands-on product management experience, with at least 2 years focused on developer tools, source control, CI/CD, or developer productivity products. Ideally, you have experience in fast-paced product organizations or high-growth startups.
  • You thrive in a startup environment and are resourceful, adaptable, and execution-driven.
• You have taken at least one product or major feature from 0-1 and seen it through to GA.
• You create clarity out of ambiguity.
• You're an excellent communicator, skilled at aligning various stakeholders around immediate objectives and deliverables.
• Your low ego makes you receptive to feedback and agile in adjusting plans.
• You have strong technical acumen-you can engage deeply with engineering on Git internals, CI/CD systems, and developer tooling tradeoffs.
• You've worked closely with engineers as your end users.
• You've proven your ability to translate technical capabilities into customer and business value.

Bonus Points

• Background in industrial automation, manufacturing systems, or OT/IT convergence.
• Experience as a PM (or close partner to PMs) on a developer tool such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Atlassian, Linear, or similar.
• Experience with CI/CD or workflow automation products (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Argo, etc.).
• Familiarity with Git workflows, code review practices, and DevOps culture.
