About the Role:
The Director, Product Operations owns BigPanda's product operating system end-to-end, serving as the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, and GTM (Sales, SE, CS, Support). This role translates works closely with the CPO and other engineering / product leaders to provide operational leverage for fast-moving product teams bringing Agentic products to market. The mission includes creating this leverage and building it into an AI-native operating system rather than a manual coordination layer. This role prototypes the tools that make it possible and collaboratively owns them.
What you will do:
- Own the product operating system end-to-end — Serve as the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, and GTM (Sales, SE, CS, Support): translate enterprise deal requirements and customer commitments into product requirements and help turn roadmap/launch status into clear communication to GTM teams.
- Run the AI-powered voice-of-customer & other programs — Build an automated intake/synthesis system that ingests signals from customer feedback, support, Sales/CRM, and enterprise escalations, classifies it by product, and routes prioritized themes into roadmap planning. Extend this into running structured beta / design-partner programs for new AI capabilities with tight feedback loops and clear success criteria.
- Own launch readiness across products — Support individual products in coordinating GTM enablement, launch readiness cadence, run X-functional checkpoints, pricing/packaging, and support/CS handoff so releases land cleanly with enterprise customers, spanning both AI-native features and platform capabilities.
- Build — Personally prototype internal tooling (via low-code/agent frameworks and APIs) — beta trackers, launch dashboards for AI capabilities — validating the workflow hands-on before handing it off to harden at scale.
- Unify metrics — Stand up a single automated reporting layer spanning quality/adoption metrics for AI capabilities and uptime/usage/expansion metrics, replacing manual QBR and roadmap-review prep.
- Be the org’s force multiplier for AI-native execution — Actively identify which manual cross-functional processes in Product, Business Ops, or Engineering Ops are ripe for agentic automation, ship a first working version yourself, and drive adoption.
What skills and experience you’ll bring to BigPanda:
- 5+ years in Product Operations, product management or an operational role at a high growth company
- Real grounding in both Product and Engineering — as comfortable in a sprint/architecture conversation as in a strategy/roadmap review
- Direct experience across multi-product, platform, or AI-native companies and understands the different rigor each demands
- Hands-on fluency with AI tools and agent/low-code frameworks — able to personally build automations and prototypes, not just direct others to
- Strong data fluency with the ability to turn noisy qualitative and quantitative signal into a clear executive narrative
- Enterprise SaaS background — familiarity with the pricing/packaging, SKU, and sales-cycle mechanics that come with an enterprise motion
- A genuinely high “get it done” bias — a full-stack operator who ships the first version personally rather than waiting on a team or a process to catch up, and is comfortable filling gaps wherever they show up
- Proven ability to drive alignment across teams like Product, GTM, and Engineering without direct authority, a natural bridge builder, comfortable with Ambiguity
- Executive-level communication — credible with senior stakeholders
