  • Hire and develop a team of Product Operations Managers to support stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Design, GTM, Customer Success, Operations, and more.
  • Define PermitFlow’s Product operating system, including planning processes, PRD standards, launch processes, product metrics, customer feedback systems, and cross-functional collaboration models.
  • Do hands-on Product Operations work yourself, particularly on the systems and programs that set the quality bar for the rest of the team.
  • Own and evolve the systems that support Product planning, execution, launches, and measurement to ensure consistency, scalability, and clarity as the company grows.
  • Establish consistent quality standards and review processes across the Product organization, ensuring teams have clear goals, requirements, success metrics, and launch plans.

  • Proven experience building Product Operations teams and functions from early-stage to scale.
  • Exceptional operational judgment across planning, prioritization, product development, launches, measurement, and cross-functional execution. Systems thinking, not just strong project management.
  • Player-coach mentality with the ability to do hands-on Product Operations work while simultaneously building and scaling a team.
  • Active AI fluency, with AI tools integrated into your daily operating workflow. Strong opinions on how AI is changing the way Product Operations teams work and a track record of evolving your own process accordingly.
  • Strong experience standing up Product operating processes, including planning rituals, PRD quality standards, launch readiness, product reviews, customer feedback systems, and product metrics.
