-
You will partner closely with CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and cross-functional account teams to show how modern software teams can plan and execute with clarity, not theater

-
Translate customer pain around sprint planning, backlog health, release forecasting, GitHub handoffs, AI-created work, bug routing, and status visibility into clear Command value narratives
-
Collaborate with Product Marketing, Product Management, Sales Engineering, and Customer Success to refine the Command sales motion, surface customer feedback, and support successful adoption
-
Develop and execute territory plans targeting engineering-heavy accounts with strong expansion signals
-
Document customer learnings, objection patterns, competitive takeaways, and repeatable plays as Command’s go-to-market motion scales
-
Champion Asana’s expansion into product and engineering organizations by showing how Command drives connected, forecast-driven execution
