Customer Support/Operations: Ensuring support teams have the documentation and tools needed to assist clients post-launch.
Build and scale a standardized NPI playbook for Gracenote, defining clear phases, gates, deliverables, and ownership for all future launches.
Proactively identify bottlenecks, dependencies, and risks across all workstreams. Develop mitigation plans and escalate critical issues to executive stakeholders with proposed solutions.
Host regular cross-functional syncs. Provide clear, concise executive reporting on program health, launch readiness, and post-launch metrics.
- 7+ years of program management, product operations, or GTM management experience, preferably within the B2B tech, SaaS, or data/entertainment industries.
Proven ability to "speak the language" of diverse departments—from deeply technical engineering constraints to complex legal compliance and nuanced marketing strategies.
Exceptional leadership skills with the ability to drive alignment, accountability, and momentum among stakeholders who do not report to you.
Deep understanding of software development lifecycles (Agile/Scrum) and traditional project management frameworks. PMP, PgMP, or Agile certifications are a plus.
Hyper-organized with a keen eye for detail. Capable of managing multiple, complex product launches simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
