Product Operations Manager

Your challenge

• We’ve gone through enormous growth recently - in Product & Engineering, for example, we’ve scaled up by more than 100 people. The growth in the Product team reflects this. To take our maturity to the next level, we are looking for an experienced professional to help us with the processes, tooling, and culture around Product Management.
• To succeed, we have introduced our own development methodology called SpaceUP. It allows us to balance between meaningful product increments and necessary maintenance work. However, as with every product, there are areas of improvement and we definitely aren’t done with it yet. On the contrary, we want to grow it further, build custom tooling around it, and eventually open-source it.
• This is a brand-new role in Ataccama, as the entire market is still finding its footing. We expect that the Product Operations manager will serve as the go-to person to make sure that the latest best practices, processes, and tools are in place and available for product developers and engineers. This way, the product team can focus on building and maintaining a product, not the tools.

Key responsibilities

• Ensure the product organization is set up to scale consistently and with low friction.
• Stay up-to-date on industry trends and best practices, and share insights and knowledge with the team to drive continuous improvement.
• Develop and maintain processes and tools to support short-term and long-term planning, effective feedback gathering, product development, and delivery.
• Align on goals and meeting facilitation, including strategic ones, where the senior product team discusses the objectives for upcoming quarters and beyond.
• Manage communication and collaboration across teams, ensuring that everyone is aligned on goals, timelines, and priorities.
• Partner with product managers to define the product strategy and roadmap, and provide operational support to ensure timely and successful product launches.
• Closely cooperate with our data team to gather key insights and continuously improve the product development process.
• Build strong relationships with key stakeholders and advocate for the product team, ensuring that their needs are heard and addressed.
