A day in the life of a Staff Product Operations Manager at Calendly
As a Staff Product Operations Manager, you will manage a portfolio of R&D programs and projects, ensuring that all aspects of the program are well defined and aligned – from setting program-level objectives and success metrics to driving alignment around scope, timelines, and dependencies; and actively managing and triaging ongoing risks and decisions to remove obstacles and impediments along the way. You may also launch and oversee core PDLC initiatives that span the R&D organization.
On a typical day, you will be working on:
- Leading end-to-end delivery of a portfolio of strategic programs and projects from problem space definition to customer impact – including defining program-level OKRs, scope, resourcing requirements, milestone timelines, dependency management, risk mitigation, decision making, progress/impact tracking, health metrics, etc.
- Partnering with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders across the organization to surface underlying needs and desired outcomes, anticipate and remove obstacles, and drive progress through clear problem framing and decision-making facilitation.
- Establishing (and modeling) the standard for the Product Operations craft at Calendly – including establishing best practices for planning, prioritization, execution, governance, data-driven decision making, etc.
- Improving cross-functional collaboration and communication by creating shared understanding and alignment, and serving as a leader to the team as we navigate uncertainty and change.
- Identifying organizational problems and opportunities, then defining and leading the programs, processes, and tools needed to help the organization operate effectively and achieve its goals.
