General Manager & VP, Asana for Services Management San Francisco

As the Vice President of Asana Services Management & Incubation GTM, you’ll own Product Management, GTM strategy, and the incubation Sales Engineering / Forward Deployed team for Asana Service Management, Asana’s most promising 0→1 product. Asana Service Management unifies ticketing and project execution for IT, HR, facilities, and other service teams to resolve key issues without human touch.

In this high-leverage VP-level role, you will act as an entrepreneurial leader. You will sit at the intersection of sales, technical execution, and product development—owning the GTM strategy, engaging directly with mid-market customers to close business, and translating front-line market insights into a concrete product roadmap and product execution. This is a "player-coach" role designed for someone who thrives in ambiguity and knows how to scale a technical GTM motion within a fast-growing SaaS environment. This role is based in our San Francisco office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asana employees have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner.
