The Role
We're looking for an entrepreneurial Product Operations leader to strengthen and scale the Product Ops function in a high growth environment. This role begins as a hands-on individual contributor and will grow and evolve as the function and the company grows.
Reporting to our Chief Product Officer, you'll be a key member of the Product Leadership team and partner closely across Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM Teams to improve how we decide, execute, and learn-bringing structure where it creates leverage and avoiding process for process's sake. This is a role for someone who enjoys creating clarity in complex environments and knows how to scale discipline without slowing teams down.
Enable better product decisions

• Improve roadmap confidence through clearer inputs, tradeoffs, and outcome tracking
• Help teams move from opinion-driven to evidence-informed decisions
• Support long term strategic planning and portfolio decisions.
• Support effective product discovery by enabling consistent learning, experimentation, and insight sharing across teams

Product analytics and insights

• Own the product analytics function, including instrumentation, data quality, and reporting standards
• Define and operationalize product metrics that matter (leading and lagging)
• Translate product, customer, and business data into actionable insights for teams and executives

Improve execution and delivery

• Identify and remove friction across planning, development, and launch workflows
• Improve delivery predictability, release quality, and operational reliability
• Ensure tools are well-integrated, consistently used, and clearly tied to outcomes

Release management and beta programs

• Define and evolve release management processes that support quality and cross-functional readiness
• Partner with Engineering, Product Marketing, and Customer Teams on release planning and execution
• Own beta and early access programs, ensuring program structure and consistency where participation is curated for impact and feedback meaningfully shapes product decisions

Drive cross-functional alignment

• Act as a trusted partner across Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, Services and Customer Success
• Clarify ownership and decision rights to prevent duplication and slowdowns
• Support consistent, repeatable product launches as the company scales

Build and scale the Product Ops function

• Define the mandate, scope, and operating model for Product Operations
• Establish lightweight, scalable processes that create leverage-not drag
• Hire and lead Product Ops team members as the organization grows

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Strong product judgment and credibility with senior product and engineering leaders
• Comfort operating across strategy, data, and execution
• Practical experience owning analytics and operational processes
• Clear communicator who can influence without authority
• Strong writing skills, ability to communicate with engineering, PM and an Executive audience
• Passionate about working in a small team and fast-moving entrepreneurial environment

Qualifications (Education and Certifications)

• 8+ years of experience in Product Operations, Product Management, Product Analytics, or related roles
• Understanding of contemporary software delivery methodologies (e.g., Agile, Kanban, etc.)
• Experience building or significantly shaping a Product Ops function

Milestones for the First Six Months
In one month, you will:

• Establish strong working relationships across Product, Engineering, Design, GTM, and Customer teams

• Define and operationalize core product metrics; improve data quality and reporting
