Sprout Social is seeking an experienced Product Manager to own the strategy, delivery, and scaling of our partner and platform integration ecosystem
This role sits at the center of a critical shift for Sprout: moving from bespoke, one-off partner integrations toward a scalable, platform-based integration model that reduces engineering lift per partner while expanding the ecosystem of systems that connect to Sprout
This is an individual contributor role requiring deep technical fluency in integration architecture (APIs, managed packages, platform events, OAuth/permission models) paired with strong commercial judgment on what’s worth building, for whom, and when
Sprout empowers businesses worldwide to harness the immense power and opportunity of social media in today’s digital-first world
Processing over one billion social messages daily, our platform serves up essential insights and actionable information to over 30,000 brands, informing strategic decisions that drive business growth and innovation, and fostering deeper, authentic connections to their end customers
Our full suite of social media management solutions includes comprehensive publishing and engagement functionality, customer care solutions, influencer marketing, connected workflows, and business intelligence
This is an exciting opportunity for a leader to come in and have full ownership of our integrations strategy
Our Product team operates at the intersection of strategy, innovation, customer value, and go-to-market collaboration
We are focused on delivering unified, data-driven solutions across our multi-product portfolio
As part of the broader R&D; organization, our team collaborates closely with Engineering, Product Design, and Go-to-Market (GTM) teams to create impactful experiences for customers while driving measurable business outcomes
This cross-functional partnership ensures that our products not only meet technical excellence but are also positioned effectively in the market, aligning with customer needs and business growth objectives
You won’t just help set the vision for our integration platform, you’ll also play a key role in shaping our overall approach to partner and platform strategy and own both strategy, execution, and outcomes
Own individual integrations strategy end‑to‑end from pricing and packaging to distribution strategy to GA readiness, including ongoing relationship management with cross‑functional teams
Partner closely with Engineering to sequence integration investments, balancing near‑term customer/revenue commitments against longer‑term platform scalability
Define and execute platform‑based integration strategies (e.g., generalized APIs or connectors) that let customers self‑integrate, reducing the need for bespoke builds per vendor
Serve as the key driver of integration lifecycle management, from alpha and beta through GA and post‑launch scaling, aligning with strategic partners and key customers on roadmap, timeline, and requirements at each stage
Own permissioning, security, and licensing model decisions for packaged integrations (managed packages, namespace strategy, license management)
Build the business case and prioritization framework for new integration bets, including explicit kill criteria and proof points before scaling investment
Act as connective tissue between GTM, Partnerships, and Engineering to ensure integration work is commercially viable, not just technically sound
Drive the execution of “best‑in‑class” product delivery, balancing the urgency of immediate customer needs with the long‑term scalability and innovation of our core
Within 1 month, you’ll plant your roots, including:
Completing Sprout Social’s new hire training & onboarding program alongside other new Sprout team members. You’ll gain a broader understanding of our products and how your role fits into the organization
Learning the current state of integrations at Sprout, along with future product and technical roadmaps
Diving into our products to learn about what makes our software unique and why customers love our products
Beginning to understand the capabilities and limitations of our integrations
Establishing relationships with other product, engineering, design and revenue leaders and identifying areas of opportunity
Get hands‑on with Sprout’s products, experiencing them from the customer’s perspective
Establishing a working cadence with your engineering partners in Poland, including how you’ll handle handoffs, async decisions, and the daily overlap window
Within 3 months, you’ll start hitting your stride by:
Partnering with senior product leaders to define key success metrics for your role and teams and how you will measure against them
Participate in architectural discussions and decisions, asking the right questions to guide your team to successful outcomes
Participating in planning and roadmap processes and helping to shape the product roadmap for long‑term success
Within 6 months, you’ll be making a clear impact through:
Becoming an expert in Sprout’s integration ecosystem and confidently speaking to partner strategy, technical tradeoffs,
and platform roadmap with internal and external stakeholderS
Owning the integration roadmap and delivering measurable results on key strategic initiatives
Identify key opportunities to improve cross‑team collaboration and alignment
Standing up working cadences to build and deliver on product roadmap and outcomes in partnership with design, engineering, and GTM teams
Within 12 months, you’ll make this role your own by:
Consistently meeting and exceeding established performance targets
Obtaining (solicited and unsolicited) and acting upon peer, customer, and leadership feedback
Continue to evolve Sprout’s product culture, shaping the next generation of product managers
Surprise us! Use your unique ideas and abilities to change our integration capabilities at Sprout in beneficial ways that we haven’t even considered yet!
Of course what is outlined above is the ideal timeline, but things may shift based on business needs and other projects and tasks could be added at the discretion of your manager
Benefits
Insurance and benefit options that are built for both individuals and families
Progressive policies to support work/life balance, like our flexible paid time off and parental leave program
High-quality and well‑maintained equipment—your computer will never prevent you from doing your best

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial and visionary product manager to help our company build the right integrations strategy. If you can work cross‑functionally to build, launch, and grow our integrations ecosystem, and align teams around solving hard problems together, we’d love to talk with you!
Experience partnering with distributed engineering teams across different time zones
Experience collaborating closely with product, design, engineering, and GTM leaders to deliver cohesive solutions
A default toward over communication: written specs, recorded walkthroughs, decision logs, and proactive status instead of waiting to be asked
Proven success leading initiatives in a multi‑product portfolio company
10+ years of PM experience in ecosystem or integration roles in a B2B product-driven SaaS environment
