Director, Product Strategy and Operations

LiveRamp•Little Rock, AR

1d•$235,000 - $363,000•Hybrid

About The Position

LiveRamp's product organization is a cross-functional force — working in close partnership with Engineering, Commercial, Product Intelligence, Corporate Development, & Finance to drive how we build, ship, and grow. As the ambition and complexity of that work scales, so does the need to run it exceptionally well. This role exists to make that happen. We're looking for a Head of Product Strategy & Operations to serve as the CPO's right hand — and the operational backbone of the product org. You will be the reason our leadership team spends its energy on the hardest decisions, the most important priorities, and the biggest opportunities. The best way to describe this role: you are the COO of our R&D and Go-to-Market functions. You are an execution machine with strong product instincts — someone who can think strategically, move fast, go deep, and galvanize people and teams to create positive momentum and progress.

Requirements

8–12+ years of experience in product management, strategy, or a high-execution operator role in a technology company
Direct experience owning or deeply influencing a business rhythm: planning, OKRs, business reviews, cross-functional alignment
A track record of making complex organizations move faster and with more clarity
Strong strategic instincts — you can go from "here's the problem" to "here's the plan" quickly
Entrepreneurial energy — startup experience or a founder mindset is a strong plus
The interpersonal range to influence without authority across every function in the company

Nice To Haves

You are equal parts product thinker and execution machine.
You've either led Product yourself, built something from scratch, or both — and you bring that builder's instinct to how you operate.
You know that great process is a means to an end.
You don't let the absence of a perfect process get in the way of progress — and you fix the process along the way so the org doesn't have to solve the same problem twice.
You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and resolving it quickly.
You are not precious about your lane. You will pick up a shovel on whatever dimension the work requires.
You are a credible voice in any room — with product leaders, engineers, commercial partners, finance, and HR — and you earn that credibility through sharp thinking and follow-through, not title.
You are very effective at building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders across functions, regions, and levels of seniority.

Responsibilities

Own the rhythm of the product org: planning cycles, OKR-setting, business reviews, and cross-functional operating cadences
Ensure every team has clear outcomes, unambiguous ownership, and a shared understanding of what they're working toward each quarter
Identify where things are stuck, where decisions are needed, and where accountability is unclear — and drive resolution
Act as a force multiplier: take the hardest cross-functional problems and drive them to resolution.
Help formulate strategies, frame tradeoffs, and build the plans that translate direction into action
Prepare the CPO for key moments — leadership forums, board conversations, org decisions — with the clarity and structure needed to move fast
Champion the shift to a culture where teams own outcomes, not just outputs
Lead the OKR process end-to-end: help teams debate the right metrics, set ambitious but grounded goals, and hold themselves accountable to measuring progress
Continuously improve how we operate — not by imposing structure for its own sake, but by building habits that make us faster, clearer, and more aligned over time
You may directly lead our Technical Program Management team — and at a minimum, you will define what TPMs and teams need to produce to run our business well and drive the outcomes we care about
