Retool

Compensation

Full Description

WHAT YOU’LL DO We’re looking for a Product Manager to help define and scale the next generation of automation at Retool. You’ll lead the evolution of Retool’s automation capabilities—including workflows, integrations, and AI-driven agents—expanding our platform beyond internal apps into end-to-end process orchestration. You’ll operate in a highly ambiguous, fast-moving space: forming a strong point of view on where automation and AI are heading, identifying the highest-leverage product bets, and driving them from early concept through customer adoption. This role sits at the intersection of platform, developer experience, and applied AI—and will help shape automation as a core pillar of Retool’s product strategy. You’ll operate at the frontier of applied AI and workflow orchestration: deciding when AI should act autonomously, where humans stay in the loop, and how teams debug, trust, and scale automated systems. The problems are open-ended, the surface area is large, and the impact is foundational to Retool’s platform strategy. WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH You’ll join Retool’s Product team, collaborating closely with engineers, designers, and go-to-market leaders building the future of internal software. The team is senior, fast-moving, and deeply technical, with experience across high-growth startups and large-scale platforms. The Automation team is responsible for extending Retool beyond internal applications into workflow orchestration and AI agents—powering everything from backend operations to autonomous system coordination. THE SKILLSET YOU’LL BRING 6+ years of product management experience, ideally with complex workflows, platforms, or developer-facing products A point of view on AI-first automation and how intelligent systems should behave in production environments Experience shipping complex, multi-step systems that integrate across services, and tools Comfort operating at a low level of abstraction with engineers on execution models, state management, and system reliability Strong synthesis skills—you can distill noisy customer signals and technical constraints into a clear strategy Bias toward action: you balance long-term vision with pragmatic execution over 6–12 month horizons A collaborative, low-ego work style with the ability to influence cross-functional partners and executives
