Product Operations

Responsibilities

• Design and run lightweight operating cadences (e.g., planning cycles, product reviews, execution check-ins)
• Improve visibility into priorities, progress, and decisions across the product organization without adding unnecessary process
• Define and own the PM tool stack, evolving the tools and workflows that PMs use every day to ensure the function is operating effectively
• Identify where automation, AI/agents, and other new workflows can materially change how product work gets done, and translate those ideas into adopted capabilities.
• Partner with Product leadership to reinforce a high-performing product culture, both virtually (e.g., Product All Hands) and in-person (e.g., Bi-Annual Product Summits / Onsites)
• Build systems that capture and share high-quality product work (e.g., great PRDs)  and decisions across teams, helping raise the bar and accelerate learning.
• Longer-term, own Product Manager onboarding and ongoing enablement, ensuring PMs ramp quickly and understand how great product work gets done at Plaid.
