About the Role This role is the primary owner of how the product team operates. You ensure quality and velocity don't trade off against each other — by building, scaling, and protecting the processes that make good product decisions repeatable. You'll report directly to the CPO and serve as the main entry point for new Product Ops initiatives — prioritizing, routing, and leading the ones that matter most. You focus on what scales across the whole product team, not what solves a one-off problem for one squad. The Product Ops team is two people: you and one manager — with plans to grow. This is a genuinely hands-on role — you'll be doing real work, not just directing it. Expect to own processes end-to-end, from design through adoption. What You'll Own Be the primary entry point for new Product Ops initiatives — prioritize them, decide what gets resourced, and route what doesn't fit. Lead major cross-team process changes: design the frame, align stakeholders, and drive adoption. Own cross-team processes across the Product department (Product, Design, and Analytics) where central coordination is required — quarterly planning, goal decomposition, metrics alignment. Build and maintain shared frameworks and artifacts (prioritization logic, metrics models, decision templates) that improve clarity and consistency across the product team. Identify and escalate systemic process problems that require cross-team or leadership-level decisions. Drive AI automation of product workflows — identify high-leverage opportunities, build or oversee solutions, measure against baselines, and decide what scales across the team. Manage Product Ops focus and load: ensure the team works on things that move the needle, not reactive noise. What Success Looks Like Product Ops initiatives have a transparent, understood focus — no one wonders what the function is for. Shared processes are adopted and used consistently across product teams (measured by adoption rate and CSAT). Operational noise decreases — fewer ad-hoc requests, less manual coordination, fewer alignment gaps. Product decisions become more predictable and higher quality — even as the company keeps scaling fast. What We're Looking For Process design experience. You've built or significantly improved operational processes in a product or tech environment. You think in systems, not tasks. Cross-functional influence. You know how to align people who don't report to you. You bring clarity to ambiguous situations and can drive decisions across teams. Metrics-driven. You track adoption and satisfaction as seriously as any product team tracks conversion. You know how to set a baseline and measure change. Bias toward scalability. You distinguish between fixing a one-off problem and building something the whole team can use. When both paths are possible, you ask: will this still work when the team doubles? Full ownership of your domain. You take accountability for outcomes, not just tasks. Blockers are your problem to solve — not someone else's. AI automation fluency. You've used AI tools to automate workflows or processes — and you can identify where automation creates real leverage vs. where it's noise. Fluent English (C1+). We're a mixed company — the product team works in Russian, but you'll have English-language meetings daily and work with English documentation constantly.
