About The Position

We are seeking a Product Operations Manager to join our Emerging Technology organization, supporting AI Solution Engineering and AI R&D teams. This is a newly created role with the opportunity to define, build, and scale the product operations function from the ground up. You will own the end-to-end operational lifecycle for a portfolio of AI-driven products—from early-stage sandbox environments through MVP, production launch, and ongoing support. This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations, ensuring that innovative AI applications are effectively operationalized, maintained, and scaled. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and brings a strong mix of operational rigor, technical fluency, and strategic thinking. This is a hands-on role requiring direct involvement in building, deploying, and supporting systems – not just managing others. You will actively contribute to implementation efforts, including working with engineering teams on infrastructure, deployment workflows, and operational tooling. You will play a key role in shaping processes, establishing best practices, and building a small but highly effective team to support multiple productionized applications.

Strong experience with agile methodologies, Jira, version control systems, and modern engineering environments
