Director, Product Operations
Dooly
Responsibilities of a Director, Product Operations:
- Establish and own frameworks, rituals, and tools that improve consistency, transparency, and accountability across the product organization.
- Mentor two Sr PMs, helping them prioritize effectively, communicate clearly, and deliver meaningful outcomes.
- Enforce a unified “rulebook” for PRDs, discovery briefs, and other product artifacts. Ensure everything lives in the right place, follows the right format, and tells the right story.
- Build repeatable systems for how work moves from idea to delivery — including how we plan, track, and review progress.
- Champion tools like Productboard, Confluence, and Jira to drive cross-functional clarity.
- Keep the trains running on time. Coordinate dependencies, track timelines, and help teams anticipate and unblock risks before they slow momentum.
- Work closely with Design, Engineering, and GTM to make sure everyone understands priorities, status, and the “why” behind decisions.
We would love to meet you if you have:
- 8+ years in product or program management, with at least 2 years leading teams.
- Previous experience working in a SaaS company, ideally in a product operations or product management function.
- Deep experience building scalable processes for product planning, documentation, and release management.
- A knack for simplifying complexity and creating structure without bureaucracy.
- Strong communication skills — able to align executives and empower ICs alike.
- Familiarity with tools like Productboard, Jira, and Confluence, and the judgment to know when a process helps (and when it hinders).
Success Looks Like:
- Every product initiative has a clear owner, definition of success, and consistent documentation.
- The team knows what’s next, what’s blocked, and where to find information — always.
- Leadership can trust that roadmaps, PRDs, and metrics are complete, standardized, and up to date.
- Product Managers and cross-functional partners feel empowered, supported, and aligned.
