Engineering Manager, Reference Anything

We are looking for an empathetic, product-focused Engineering Manager to lead our newly formed Reference Anything (RA) team. Reference Anything is tasked with a critical mission: fundamentally enhancing Asana’s data capabilities by building Records, our vision for a Databases product. While Asana excels tracking tasks, our users increasingly need to manage structured data—like assets, candidates, or inventory—within the context of their work. You will lead this team in evolving the Work Graph to support these complex data relationships, allowing users to build a true "source of truth" for any business process. As the founding manager for this team, you will have the unique opportunity to build a high-performing culture from the ground up, define the strategy for a nascent product area, and execute a high-impact roadmap that transforms how teams organize information at scale.

At Asana, we’re building collaboration and communication software to help every team in the world work together effortlessly and do great things together. Asana aims to rival the best enterprise software, with a deep bench of functionality and controls powerful enough to meet the needs of the world’s largest companies, along with rock-solid stability, security, and compliance. Our product engineering team works closely with designers and PMs to continuously improve the Asana experience for all our customers. We’re involved in the entire product process, from conception (be it at a hackathon or during Roadmap Week) to post-launch reflection. And we have deep empathy for both our coworkers and our users, to understand how we can work better together to help others work better together.

This role is based in our New York City office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. Along with most Asanas, you’ll work from this office in person on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. If you're interviewing for this role, your Talent Acquisition Partner will share more about the in-office requirements.
