About the team

We’re seeking a Product Operations Manager to work directly with our Product and Engineering teams to build cross-functional processes, launch new products, and improve the way our teams work together to deliver value.

This role will report to the Sr. Director of Operations and work closely with the CTO, VP of Product, and P&E leaders. The Product Operations Manager will be critical in building out the processes and insights that help support a high-performing product engineering organization and build a world-class product. 

Alloy operates in a hybrid-work environment. We look to foster collaboration and community by having our local employees onsite three days a week, and remote employees onsite once a quarter.

What you'll be doing

The Product Operations Manager will support all things product & engineering operations, working both tactically and strategically to ensure everything runs smoothly, while driving improvements in the way we work. 

We’re looking for a structured, data-driven builder who excels at relationship building, problem solving, and helping teams navigate the change that comes with scaling. 

As Product Operations Manager, you will: 

• Lead the strategy and operations of Product & Engineering Ops at Alloy
• Own team rhythms, rituals, and operational models (offsites, quarterly planning, All Hands, etc)
• Improve common product development and operational processes and tooling, including:
• Feature requests
• Triage
• Release phase program
• Roadmap planning
• Facilitate effective collaboration between Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing teams
• Establish mechanisms for measuring product and engineering success and impact, including analytics dashboards and reporting systems
• Maintain launch motions that allow us to ship with confidence and monitor impact
• Create cross-team visibility that drives cross-functional alignment
• Work cross-functionally with partners in Technical Solutions to support various operational needs and build relationships.

Who we’re looking for

The ideal candidate has:

• 5+ years of product, product ops, engineering, or operations background.
• A track record of building processes and programs from 0 to 1 and scaling them thoughtfully.
• Success managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
• Experience building and managing systems and processes to facilitate internal operations.
• Enjoys being scrappy and moving fast, while continuing to iterate for continual improvement.
• Experience as a bridge builder who connects strategy to execution and creates alignment across teams. You are a problem seeker comfortable with ambiguity and skilled at creating structure where none exists.
• Great communication and relationship-building skills.
• A love of building collaborative, high-performing cultures.

Candidates for this role should have: 

• Strong knowledge of product and engineering principles, operations management, and process improvement methodologies
• Understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies
• Proficient in using tools such as JIRA, Pendo, Jellyfish, and Notion
• Proven problem solving, analytical, and organizational skills
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, ability to engage with technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience working in a highly cross-functional environment

Nice to haves:

• Experience building metrics reporting capabilities for product & engineering teams
