About the Role
We’re looking for an outstanding Product Operations Manager to help Float’s Product org operate with clarity, consistency, and speed. We have five product teams, and Product Ops is the connective tissue that keeps team rituals, roadmap hygiene, initiative tracking, and performance reporting running smoothly and in a consistent format across the org.
This role also supports product decision-making by building systems to gather customer signals (surveys/NPS, sales feedback, support insights), turning them into actionable insights, and helping PMs prioritize what to build next. You’ll partner closely with the Growth product team on cross-functional initiatives—launching campaigns, improving onboarding, and measuring promos—using strong analytics and experimentation discipline.
This role is intentionally scoped for a high-slope operator: highly coachable, adaptable, and comfortable learning tools on the fly (including AI).
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Run Product operating rhythms: team rituals, cadences, MBR inputs, roadmap hygiene, and initiative tracking across product teams.
Own monthly Product performance reporting and MBR preparation, including narrative, insights, and executive-ready materials (memos and decks).
Build and maintain consistent, trusted sources of truth for product initiatives, milestones, and outcomes across teams.
Create systems and processes to capture customer signals (surveys/NPS, support tickets, sales feedback), synthesize themes, and translate them into prioritization inputs for PMs.
Partner deeply with Growth product to support cross-functional initiatives (Product, Risk, Support, PMM, Lifecycle Marketing) including campaign launches, onboarding improvements, and promo strategy.
Design and analyze experiments with clear success metrics and guardrails; move fast while explicitly managing risk in a fintech context.
Use SQL, dashboards, and AI tools to automate reporting workflows, speed up analysis, and increase insight velocity.
Proactively identify operational gaps, risks, and misalignment; propose solutions with clear trade-offs and next steps.
What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)
Customer feedback signals are centralized, regularly synthesized, and visibly influencing product prioritization.
Growth initiatives ship with clear measurement plans (success + guardrails), and post-launch learning is captured and reused.
Meaningful portion of manual reporting is automated via SQL + dashboards + AI-assisted workflows.
Stakeholders describe Product Ops as “the person who creates clarity and momentum” across cross-functional work.
What We’re Looking For
You Put Customers First, Always. You anchor operational decisions in customer outcomes and real-world behaviour, not wishful thinking.
You Act Like an Owner. You take end-to-end responsibility, escalate risks early with options, and drive to outcomes.
You Think Big and Move Fast. You’re comfortable building systems from scratch, iterating quickly, and learning as you go.
You Constantly Learn and Grow. You’re highly coachable, adaptable, and excited to evolve how you work, especially with AI.
You Raise the Bar. You care about quality, consistency, and clarity, and you improve how teams operate.
You Win as a Team. You bring people together, handle opinionated stakeholders well, and create alignment across functions.
In addition to living our values, you...
Have 3–6 years experience in strategy & ops, product ops, growth ops, consulting, or similar roles in high-growth environments.
Are deeply data-fluent: advanced SQL (required) and strong Excel/Sheets modeling.
Are comfortable with CRM tools (Salesforce preferred) and strong reporting hygiene.
Can lead cross-functional initiatives and communicate crisply through memos and decks.
Have an experimentation mindset: you define success metrics, guardrails, and learnings, then scale what works.
Are AI-forward: you actively use AI tools to speed up analysis, automate workflows, and synthesize feedback, while validating outputs.
This may not be the role for you if…
You’re not comfortable being hands-on with data (SQL) or owning reporting end-to-end.
You prefer senior-level autonomy without coaching or feedback.
You move fast without defining guardrails, risks, and stop conditions.
You struggle to translate messy customer signals into practical, prioritized actions.
