Responsibilities
Design and own PDE's operating rhythms and tooling - Build the cadences (roadmap reviews, product councils, launches), workflows, and tools that enable fast, effective decision-making across Product, Design, and Engineering
Create visibility and minimize overhead - Invest in automation and self-serve data that gives the company insight into PDE execution and product performance, without making PMs write status updates
Solve operational gaps that don't have clear owners - Identify and address coordination breakdowns, unclear decision-making processes, or strategic initiatives falling through the cracks between teams
Scale best practices company-wide - Partner with operations leads across functions to level up coordination and execution beyond just PDE
Qualification
Required
Experience in Product Operations, Product Management, Management Consulting, or Strategy & Operations, with meaningful Product Ops experience in a B2B environment
You know what great operating cadences look like and have a bias for continuous improvement to keep iterating on them
Experience running analytical efforts for cross-functional projects that have influenced product or strategic direction
You can form hypotheses from ambiguous data, design instrumentation to fill gaps, and translate insights for different audiences (PMs vs. executives vs. engineers)
Track record of driving alignment and executing complex projects with stakeholders from technical ICs to executives
Comfortable facilitating decisions in group settings and managing change, even when you're not the decision-maker
Experience owning programs end-to-end and executing in environments with incomplete information
Results-oriented with strong prioritization skills - you know when to build infrastructure vs. when to keep things scrappy
Enthusiasm for building from the ground up rather than just maintaining existing processes
Preferred
Consulting background combined with 1-2 years of Product Management experience - you understand both strategic frameworks and product execution
Startup or founder experience - you've built things from scratch with limited resources
Technical analytical skills like SQL or data modeling - you can dig into data yourself rather than waiting for analytics support
Experience with developer platforms, API infrastructure, or B2B technical products - you'll ramp faster on Apollo's domain
Familiarity with Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence)
