Headquarters: -REMOTE, USA-
For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day.
Smartsheet is seeking a dynamic, operationally focused leader to join our team to lead the Office of the Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO).

Reporting to the CPTO, this is a high-visibility, high-accountability, and high-velocity role. The successful candidate will use their emotional intelligence and business acumen to inform strategic priorities and collaborate across the organization to accomplish our big, audacious goals. Smartsheet is at a pivotal moment in our history as we transition our value proposition, our GTM operations, and our entire product lineup into the agentic era to solidify our position as the leader in Enterprise.
