Our uncrewed systems are making ocean exploration and operations safer, smarter and more sustainable, helping unlock the vast potential of our oceans while reducing environmental impact.\nThis isn't a vision for the future. It's happening right now.\nAs we continue to push the boundaries of innovation and redefine what's possible in the maritime industry, we're looking for exceptional talent to join our fast-growing team.\nWe are looking to hire a Product Ops Lead. The Product Ops defines, communicates, evaluates and evolves the operational backbone of our technology Products & Platforms organisation: how our products are run, our governance layers, how teams work, how work is tracked and documented, how resources and finances flow through the portfolio, and how new joiners and teams are supported. The role functions as the company's de facto scrum master/agile coach, defining, trialling, and teaching agile ways of working across squads while owning Jira, Confluence, resourcing, finance administration and onboarding for the tech organisation.\nRequirements\nWhat you will do!\nWays of Working & Agile Enablement\nAct as the company's de facto scrum master/agile coach: define, trial and roll out agile ways of working across product squads, coaching teams through the change. \nOwn the ways-of-working documentation suite and role definitions, keeping them aligned with your engineering counterparts. \nOwn product performance frameworks and templates and report regular metrics to senior tech leadership. \nPortfolio Governance & Decision-Making\nDefine and maintain the portfolio operating model, working with leadership to align direction and resourcing decisions with business priorities. \nRun the technology governance process end-to-end, from discovery through development, keeping reviews, checkpoints and decision forums on cadence. \nOwn governance artifacts (briefs, decision records, review packs), ensuring investment decisions are made with rigour, documented clearly and version controlled. \nManage the pipeline of discovery initiatives from ideation through evaluation and prioritisation, challenging the quality of the thinking behind them. \nTrack portfolio milestones and health, surfacing delivery risks early and giving senior stakeholders visibility on demand. \nProduce portfolio dashboards, regular leadership updates and ad hoc reporting, including input to company R&D submissions. \nProduct Discovery\nPartner with design on the pipeline of candidate ideas and join design sprints as a strategic voice, questioning assumptions and steering on product and business logic. \nBuild and maintain a quantitative insight repository and support the wider tech team in framing robust business cases. \nProduct Delivery Support\nMaintain the product hierarchy and milestone framework and produce the materials that ready new products for handover into operations. \nOwn testing requirements templates for operational product testing, and support teams with discovery documentation, epic structuring and requirements writing. \nTooling & Documentation Systems\nOwn Jira configuration standards across product boards - field structures, story-writing conventions, epic structuring - improving tooling as product teams grow. \nOwn Confluence architecture for the tech organisation: consolidate fragmented spaces, retire outdated content and maintain plain-English documentation and guides for non-specialist audiences. \nResourcing & Finance Operations\nOwn resource planning for the tech organisation, giving leadership visibility of capacity and allocation. \nOwn finance code alignment for tech spend across the company's expense and travel systems, and review expense approvals against policy. \nDefine the budget process for product-related spend (licences, tools) and produce ad hoc financial and resource reporting as needed. \nHR, Onboarding & HSEQ / Audit\nOwn onboarding kits, how-we-work documentation and role descriptions for the tech organisation, keeping them current as the org restructures. \nOwn the org chart and its communication, along with HSEQ-related audit and documentation responsibilities for tech teams. \nWhat we look for!\nDeep experience in product or portfolio operations - process design, documentation systems and cross-functional coordination. \nPractical agile facilitation: able to define, trial and teach ways of working across teams of varying maturity. \nComfortable owning administrative systems end-to-end - Jira, Confluence, resource planning tools - not just advising on them. \nFinancially literate: expense policy review, cost-per-project analysis and cross-entity finance code alignment. \nStrong written communication - documentation that non-specialists can act on without translation. \nBilingual Portuguese/English, comfortable across Portugal- and UK-based reporting requirements. \nComfortable in ambiguity, building processes that don't yet exist rather than only maintaining ones that do. \nBenefits\n Salary Up to 90,000 EUR per annum","description_format":"text","description_chars":5210,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Portuguese","level":"Proficiency (C2)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Proficiency (C2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Geological Survey","Underwater & Marine Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T12:50:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":17,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":101026,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ocean-infinity-product-ops-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ocean-infinity-product-ops-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T09:04:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10034,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":58711},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58711"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Focean-infinity-product-ops-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Focean-infinity-product-ops-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Focean-infinity-product-ops-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ocean-infinity-product-ops-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Focean-infinity-product-ops-lead"}]}
