Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the Product Operating Model capability, defining standards, processes, structures, and rhythms for predictable, high-quality delivery.
- Within 60–90 days, conduct a start/stop/continue assessment of current practices; sequence improvements without pausing delivery.
- Lead the full Product + Analysis function (AI/Technical PM, Analysts) to operate with clarity, cohesion, and shared direction.
- Work closely with Engineering & Platform to align roadmaps, enforce SLAs/SLOs, adopt standards, and maintain platform reliability and observability.
- Build productive relationships across domain stakeholder groups (Finance & Strategy, Audience, etc.) and enterprise governance bodies.
- Define and run the end-to-end data product lifecycle, including artifacts, stage gates, and decision rights.
- Drive evidence-based prioritization (e.g., RICE); ensure consistent intake, triage, and governance for every product/enhancement and enable transparent prioritization and trade-off decisions across competing needs in the product portfolio.
- Personally lead strategy and delivery for select, high-impact data products as needed—especially during strategic moments or capability transitions.
- Work side-by-side with senior PMs and Analysts to shape requirements, define success metrics, support prototyping, and validate that outputs are meaningful and AI-ready.
- Ensure ongoing product delivery continues at pace while the operating model matures (no “pause” on execution).
- Establish KPIs for product maturity, predictability, throughput, quality, adoption, satisfaction, and artifact/documentation compliance.
- Publish dashboards for leadership visibility; drive continuous improvement against targets.
- Embed AI-assisted practices into product workflows (requirements, documentation, prototype testing, user guidance).
Requirements
- 6–10 years in Product Management, Product Operations, Delivery Management, or similar strategy/execution leadership roles.
- Proven ability to enter an active organization and rapidly diagnose operating gaps; implement a pragmatic start/stop/continue plan.
- Demonstrated success leading senior contributors (PMs, Analysts, Engineers) through influence, clarity, structure, and partnership.
- Experience building and governing product operating models (prioritization frameworks, lifecycle discipline, governance).
- Track record of translating strategy into execution as a player–coach (able to own critical products/workstreams hands-on).
- Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with evolving roles, processes, and technologies.
- Strong facilitation and communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders; excellent alignment skills.
- Experience partnering with data engineering, analytics, and platform teams.
- Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
