- Work with the CPTO and the product & engineering leadership team to form the product strategy, and then facilitate portfolio planning, quarterly investment trade-offs, and outcome measurement via OKRs
- Run the PD&E operating rhythm (QBRs/MBRs, release governance, risk/dependency reviews, post-launch impact)
- Build unified product health and ROI dashboards with Data and Finance (adoption, engagement, NRR impact, NPS, cost to serve)
- Translate research, Sales/CS insights, and support data into clear bets, experiments, and decision memos
- Orchestrate cross-functional launch readiness with GTM, CS, Security, and Legal; tighten handoffs from discovery to adoption
- Serve as Chief of Staff to the CPTO (staff cadence, offsites, ELT/board materials, tracking strategic initiatives)
- Lead and grow a small but experienced Product Ops team (3 existing team members); own the product tooling stack and data quality standards
What you’ll bring- Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or related advanced degree preferred
- 10+ years in B2B SaaS across product strategy/operations/management, including multi-product or platform scope
- Proven portfolio and investment planning with quantified outcomes (e.g., NRR, adoption, cost to serve)

- Cross-functional execution with GTM and CS from discovery through launch and post-launch measurement
- Ability to simplify processes, drive adoption, and maintain a high bar on execution quality
- Proficiency with roadmap/work management and product analytics tools; comfortable querying or partnering on data
What makes you stand out- You’ve owned a portfolio with clear ROI, showing how trade-offs improved NRR, adoption, and cost to serve.
- You’ve acted as a true Chief of Staff to a product/tech leader—driving cadence, decisions, and board-level storytelling.
- You turn noisy data into crisp narratives and dashboards leaders actually use.
- You’ve simplified a complex operating model and increased speed without adding bureaucracy.
- You’ve launched cross-functional initiatives that stuck—GTM alignment, launch readiness, and measurable post-launch impact.
