Best in Business, and LinkedIn Top Startups.\nYour Role\nAs a Product Operations Manager for strategic programs, you will help lead our most important cross-functional product programs, including company-critical launches and large-scale customer rollouts, while owning the operating cadence for roadmap, planning and launch enablement. You will work cross-functionally to establish clear plans, align teams, surface risks, and drive decisions.\nThis is not a status-tracking role: you will bring operational leadership needed to move complex, high-stakes initiatives from strategy through launch, adoption, and measurable outcomes. Equally, you will build the lightweight, durable systems and ways of working that let the product organization operate effectively as it scales - the operating cadence is yours to design and own, not just to run.\nYou Will\nLead the end-to-end execution of the company’s highest-priority product programs, from initial alignment through launch, rollout, and post-launch follow-through.\n\nBuild integrated program plans that clarify scope, milestones, owners, dependencies, decision points, success measures, and escalation paths.\n\nOwn the annual, half-year, and quarterly product planning cadence in partnership with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership.\n\nMaintain a coherent, current view of the product roadmap across teams, including company priorities, major commitments, capacity constraints, sequencing, and cross-team dependencies.\n\nCreate effective forums for strategy reviews, roadmap decisions, launch reviews, executive updates, and retrospectives.\n\nClose the loop between execution and improvement - capture what launches and planning cycles teach us, and turn it into better defaults for the next one.\n\nQualifications\n4-8+ years of experience in product operations, technical program management, product management, business operations, or a related role within a technology company.\n\nDemonstrated success leading complex, high-stakes, cross-functional product launches or multi-quarter programs from strategy through rollout and adoption.\n\nExperience designing or running roadmap, prioritization, and planning cadences across multiple product and engineering teams.\n\nA track record of building repeatable systems and ways of working - not just executing within existing ones.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication, including experience delivering concise, decision-ready updates to executives and senior stakeholders.\n\nExperience in enterprise B2B SaaS, complex customer implementations, migrations, or phased product rollouts is preferred.\n\nThe salary range for this role is $170,000 - $230,000. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise.\nPerks & Benefits\nAt Zip, we’re committed to providing our employees with everything they need to do their best work.\nStart-up equity\n\nFull health, vision & dental coverage\n\nCatered lunches & dinners for SF employees\n\nCommuter benefit\n\nTeam building events & happy hours\n\nFlexible PTO\n\nApple equipment plus home office budget\n\n401k plan\n\nWe're looking to hire Zipsters and that means hiring people who take ownership, communicate openly, have an underdog mindset, and are excited to increase the pace of innovation for every business in the world. We encourage all candidates to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match up to our job description. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workspace where everyone (regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more) feels like they belong. We look forward to hearing from you!","description_format":"text","description_chars":4588,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Home office"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Procurement & Spend Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-01T17:52:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":33,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.548,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":45,"expected_fill_days":60,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:late","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zip-product-operations-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zip-product-operations-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T17:45:36Z","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":227,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":38131},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=38131"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzip-product-operations-manager"},{"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%2Fzip-product-operations-manager"},{"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%2Fzip-product-operations-manager"},{"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/zip-product-operations-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzip-product-operations-manager"}]}
