About the Role

This Product Operations Manager role is for a senior IC. Our ideal candidate has deep experience in Product Operations at one or more scaling tech companies, working very closely with Product/Engineering and XFN partners, on both central systems (e.g. launch calendar / launch readiness) and bringing specific products to market by running betas and launch activities.

• Leverage SQL and data visualization tools to monitor product metrics, understand customer feedback trends, and support product optimization.

• Establish and lead ongoing programs and systems that provide leverage for all of Applied and sub-groups of Applied (examples: Feedback loop programs to synthesize the top needs of customers from a range of input channels, running ongoing execution sync meetings).

• Partner with product leaders to manage org cadence programs like planning, goal setting, and mid-cycle check in processes.

• Foster strong partnerships across Product, Engineering, GTM, and Support to align goals, streamline communication, and support business priorities.

• Assist in building the Product Operations function at OpenAI .

• Can build systems/tools (via code / no-code / AI) to facilitate internal processes with a great user experience for those who need to use them.

• Are fantastic at building cross-functional relationships and having empathy for the many roles involved in bringing products to market and supporting them.

• Are able to move fast to get initial versions of solutions up, and then iterate them to improve the experience and scalability.

• Are a great communicator across written, presentation, and visual forms. You are highly influential with people who don’t report to you.

• Are engaged and curious about the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

• Can build a fun, inclusive, driven team culture.

• Are able to understand our products and models to determine appropriate solutions to user problems.
