Senior Product Manager - Product Growth

At Octopus Deploy, we believe in the importance of rest, recharge, and balance. Every year, our team takes a well-earned break during our company-wide shutdown at the end of December. This reflects our core values of supporting our team members and fostering a culture of well-being.

Our hiring process is also part of this commitment to thoughtful engagement. If you’ve applied to a role or are considering applying to a role during this time, we want you to know we'll be back on January 2, 2025, and will review all applications promptly upon our return.

Thank you for considering Octopus Deploy as the next step in your journey. We look forward to connecting with you in the new year!

Over 4,000 organizations globally –  including Ubisoft, ASOS, Xero, monday.com, Stack Overflow, NASA, and Disney – rely on our Continuous Delivery, GitOps, and release orchestration solutions. 

Founded in Australia in 2012, our team of over 300 Octonauts now spans the globe. We combine high growth and big ambitions with a sustainable, balanced working environment. Our revenue has grown consistently between 30–50% every year for the past 8 years, and we’ve been profitable for 10 out of the past 11 years.

We’ve been remote-first since 2015 and work with an uncommon level of transparency. You can read our public handbook to learn how we work.

We foster a supportive, collaborative, and high-trust environment. We leave our job titles at the door and focus on doing what’s best for our customers and team. Our leaders never shy away from answering the tough questions at our all-hands calls or in 1:1s. We conduct interviews and onboarding virtually as part of being a remote-first company.

In our first decade, we grew mainly through self-service purchases.  Engineers evaluated our tool to learn how it can help them safely hand the deploy button to others. As our product has expanded, we now have more use cases and different users to reach.
