Job Description

What You’ll Do

Own operations for a product domain. Manage the recurring operational rhythms of Core Applications end to end — reporting, release support, documentation, onboarding, planning coordination, and tooling administration.
Run the governance rituals. Operate the mechanics of the portfolio cadences — the Monthly Executive Portfolio Review, Biweekly Capability Review, and Quarterly Vision Council — including scheduling, pre-reads, decision logs, action tracking, and follow-through.
Keep the release cadence reliable. Maintain backlog hygiene, portfolio reporting, and SDLC/GPR governance evidence so roadmap status and commitments stay accurate, and Core Applications ships a steady rhythm of updates that sustains market leadership and customer satisfaction.
Turn signals into insight. Create and manage domain product-health dashboards and analyze feedback to surface risks early, highlight variances, and recommend corrective action.
Improve how the domain operates. Drive continuous process improvement across operational workflows, and support PM enablement and AI-fluency logistics as the operating model evolves.

What You’ll Bring
Required

5+ years in product operations, program/project management, PMO, or a comparable operational role, ideally in an enterprise B2B SaaS or product organization.
Strong operational discipline and program-management skills — you build order out of many moving parts and reliably drive work to closure.
Demonstrated ability to apply AI to operational work and familiarity with Agentic SDLC.
Analytical fluency with reporting and dashboards, and the judgment to connect operational data to outcomes.
Proficiency with planning and tracking tools (e.g., Aha!, Jira, Confluence) and comfort administering and improving them.
Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to work across product, engineering, design, and go-to-market partners.
The ability to work with growing independence, manage competing priorities, and surface risks proactively.

Strongly Preferred

Experience supporting portfolio governance, planning cadences, or leadership operating rhythms.
Exposure to P&C insurance or another highly regulated, enterprise software domain.
Product Management experience in a SaaS organization.

How You Work

You take ownership of workflows and deliver dependably — leaders trust that what you run gets done.
You communicate proactively, make status visible, and raise issues before they become problems.
You bring structure to ambiguity and care about accuracy, follow-through, and continuous improvement.
