Senior Product Operations Manager

ClickHouse ClickHouse · Data AI · United States · Product Management

This role is for a Senior Product Operations Manager at ClickHouse, a company specializing in real-time analytics and AI workloads. The position is a greenfield role focused on building product operations from scratch, including tooling, automation, and establishing metrics. The manager will work with PMs and Engineering to reduce operational overhead and ensure information flow. Key responsibilities include owning the PM tooling stack (Linear, GitHub, Notion), building automations, identifying AI tool applications for product operations, and managing initiative structuring and launch readiness processes. The ideal candidate has 3-5 years of experience in product operations or a related role, proficiency with Linear, GitHub, and Notion, and experience building automations. The role emphasizes translating company goals into actionable projects and improving cross-functional execution.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own and continuously improve the PM tooling stack: Linear for issue and roadmap tracking, GitHub for engineering alignment, and Notion as the team's knowledge and documentation hub.
  2. Build lightweight automations and integrations across Linear, GitHub, and Notion — syncing issue states, triggering notifications, and surfacing relevant signals and dependencies, and auto-generate roadmaps.
  3. Identify opportunities to apply AI tools to product operations workflows — from drafting status updates to accelerating research synthesis and reducing repetitive coordination overhead.
  4. Translate company priorities into structured Linear projects with defined scope, owners, milestones, and success criteria.
  5. Own a launch readiness process and checklist that coordinates pre-launch responsibilities across Legal, Sales Enablement, Support Enablement, Marketing, and other stakeholders — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks when shipping.
