• Performance Measurement and Reporting: Develop and maintain clear scorecards, dashboards, and performance metrics that provide leadership with reliable visibility into progress, priorities, delivery performance, and operational health.

• Product Launch Readiness: Establish and manage launch-readiness processes to ensure Sales, Customer Success, and other stakeholders understand upcoming releases, product changes, timelines, and customer-facing implications before launch.

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Strengthen collaboration between Product, Engineering, Design, Sales, and Customer Success by clarifying responsibilities, improving communication, and addressing gaps in information sharing.

• Process Optimization: Identify inefficiencies, recurring bottlenecks, and unnecessary complexity across product workflows, then implement scalable solutions that improve execution and reduce friction.

• AI-Driven Productivity: Integrate AI tools into daily operations to streamline workflows, improve analysis, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance team effectiveness.

• Stakeholder Management: Partner with senior leaders and functional teams to influence operational decisions, facilitate difficult conversations, and drive adoption of improved processes.

• Continuous Improvement: Evaluate the effectiveness of existing operational mechanisms, refine those that deliver value, and eliminate outdated processes that no longer support business objectives.

Requirements

• Professional Experience: Demonstrated experience in product operations, product management, business operations, program management, or a related field, preferably within a SaaS or technology organization.

• Operational Excellence: Proven ability to design, implement, and continuously improve processes that enhance collaboration, accountability, efficiency, and execution across cross-functional teams.

• Product Development Knowledge: Strong understanding of product development lifecycles and how Product, Engineering, and Design teams plan, prioritize, build, and launch software.

• Data and Analytical Skills: Ability to define meaningful KPIs, develop performance scorecards, interpret operational data, and translate insights into actionable recommendations.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Experience influencing stakeholders across multiple departments, working effectively with senior leadership, and driving organizational change without relying solely on formal authority.

• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex information clearly, facilitate discussions, and address operational challenges constructively.

• AI and Technology Proficiency: Practical experience using AI-powered tools to improve personal productivity, automate workflows, or strengthen operational processes, combined with a willingness to explore new technologies.

• Problem-Solving Mindset: Strong critical-thinking skills, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to identifying problems and implementing sustainable solutions.

• Adaptability and Ownership: Comfortable working in a fast-growing, fully remote environment, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and taking responsibility for improvements beyond narrowly defined job boundaries.

• Continuous Learning: A collaborative, improvement-oriented mindset, with the ability to recognize when existing processes need to evolve or be retired.

• Fully Remote Work: Work remotely from anywhere in the United States, with flexibility to structure your work environment around productivity and personal needs.

• Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.
