The Mission

The Product Program Management (PPM) team works to make our new product development top notch in the tech industry. We collaborate with product managers, engineering, sales and other cross functional teams to plan and launch programs, develop solutions and drive changes. HubSpot Product/Engineering highly values team autonomy. As a result, the PPM team need to be solution oriented (instead of process oriented) and impact driven. We are inspired to bring the minimal structure necessary to get things done. We foster a high-performing, productive and effective culture. 

The Opportunity

The product program management (PPM) team is the strategic partner for product managers. We own the program/project planning and delivery end to end. We make recommendations to help Product and Engineering leadership make decisions on critical programs. We have a young and fast growing team, and there are lots of white spaces to be defined. Our current PPM members are passionate about collaboration and eager to grow. They are adaptive to changes and open minded.
