Senior Product Operations Manager
Owns product operations including cadences, launch motions, partner feedback loops, and tooling to scale product org efficiency. Partners cross-functionally with PMs, engineering, and external partners; requires 5+ years ops experience and technical fluency in APIs/payments/blockchain.
About the job
What You'll Do
- Own the product operating cadence — planning, prioritization, roadmap reviews, launch reviews, and the rituals that keep a fast-moving product org aligned
- Run the launch motion end to end across cards, payments, and platform — readiness, partner enablement, internal rollout, support and CX prep, and post-launch measurement
- Build and run the partner feedback loop — capture input from our fintech, neobank, and institutional partners across channels, synthesize it, and turn it into prioritized product signal
- Stand up the tooling, dashboards, and documentation that make product operations leveraged — partner trackers, release notes, status comms, internal knowledge bases
- Partner with PMs to scope and ship cross-functional initiatives that touch support, compliance, partnerships, and finance, and own the seams between teams
- Drive the operational excellence that scales a product org — metrics hygiene, postmortems, decision logs, and the institutional muscle that compounds quarter over quarter
- Identify and remove friction wherever you find it — process, tooling, communication, decision-making — and raise the bar for how the team operates
What We're Looking For
- 5–8 years of product operations, program management, chief-of-staff, or strategy & operations experience, with a track record of building operational excellence inside a product-led company with a strong engineering culture and high bar for quality
- Exceptional product judgment and operating instincts — you're someone others describe as one of the sharpest operators they've worked with, and you consistently raise the bar for the people around you
- A senior, autonomous operator who can define the problem, drive the plan, and own the outcome without needing close direction
- Strong technical fluency (APIs, payments systems, blockchain concepts) and the instinct to pull on technical threads yourself rather than defer to engineering or product
- Genuinely excited to live in the details — you believe operational excellence is won in the specifics and are energized by the work to get them right
- Excellent written and verbal communication; you can operate with sophisticated external partners, internal engineering teams, and executive stakeholders with equal ease
- Proven ability to ship cross-functional initiatives quickly, measure their impact, and iterate in a fast-moving environment
Nice to Have, But Not Mandatory
- Experience operating inside a product org shipping cards, payments, or cross-border fintech products
- Exposure to stablecoins, crypto, or smart contract ecosystems
- Previous startup or hypergrowth environment experience
- Experience standing up product ops as a function from early days
