About The Position

Analog Devices (ADI) is a global leader in solving the toughest engineering challenges. As we shift from a project-centric execution model to a product-led growth strategy, we are seeking a Product Operations Manager to spearhead this transformation. In this role, you won't just manage tasks — you will be the "Product Architect" for our internal teams. You will bridge the gap between high-level strategic goals and the daily execution of our engineering and project teams. Your mission is to "teach product" to our project-oriented talent, standardize our toolkits, and ensure our technical breakthroughs translate into seamless customer outcomes.

Requirements

4+ years of experience in product management, management consulting, or an operational capacity within a high-growth technology environment.
Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field preferred.
A proven track record of moving teams from "output-focused" (completing tasks) to "outcome-focused" (solving customer problems). You think in outcomes, not activities.
Comfortable working alongside engineers, data scientists, and hardware teams. Ability to translate technical complexity into clear product narratives.
Deep understanding of stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint planning, and retrospectives — with the ability to adapt these ceremonies for a hardware/software hybrid environment.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority and align diverse stakeholders around a common vision.

Nice To Haves

Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), SAFe Agilist, or PMP certification.
Prior experience in the semiconductor, IoT, or embedded systems industry.
Formal training or hands-on experience in organizational change management (e.g., Prosci, Kotter).
Familiarity with product analytics platforms (e.g., Amplitude, Mixpanel) and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).

Responsibilities

Serve as the subject matter expert to transition project managers into product-thinking leaders.
Develop frameworks, onboarding guides, and training programs to upskill teams in Agile, Scrum, and modern product discovery methodologies.
Refine and create processes that accelerate time-to-outcome, enabling the team to course-correct quickly when data suggests a strategic shift is needed.
Champion data-driven decision-making across product and engineering.
Manage the end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional projects involving multiple stakeholders — from ideation through launch.
Own roadmap execution cadences, OKR tracking, and release planning.
Lead internal "Product Studios" and cross-functional forums to facilitate knowledge sharing across the organization, fostering a culture of trust, transparency, and continuous learning.
Evaluate, implement, and govern the product operations tech stack (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Aha!, ProductBoard) to ensure consistency, visibility, and scalability across teams.
