Product Operations Manager, Jetpack

Remote

We’re looking for an experienced Product Operations Manager to help the Jetpack organization ship more consistently, with fewer surprises and less drag. Jetpack is a broad, integrated set of products and services spanning security, performance, growth, and creator tools, delivered through a plugin experience and powered by cloud services.

You’ll partner with Product, Engineering, Design, Data, Support, Marketing, and Partnerships to improve how we plan, coordinate, and execute work across Jetpack’s broad surface area, including shared infrastructure, pricing and packaging, connection and identity, and multiple product lines that ship on different cadences.

This is a foundational, high-leverage role with significant autonomy. You’ll build and evolve the operating system that helps distributed teams stay aligned, make decisions faster, and deliver measurable outcomes across a portfolio of offerings. 

What You’ll Do

  • Own the Jetpack operating cadence: Design and run the rhythms that keep teams aligned (planning cycles, weekly execution check-ins, launch readiness), optimizing for async collaboration and clarity.
  • Portfolio coordination across a suite: Keep multiple product lines moving by defining milestones, sequencing work across teams, and helping leaders make tradeoffs across competing priorities.
  • Cross-team dependency management: Proactively surface and manage dependencies across the plugin UX, cloud services, identity and connection, billing, and shared infrastructure.
  • Release and launch operations for a multi-surface product: Coordinate launches that may span WordPress admin UX, wordpress.com touchpoints, emails, mobile surfaces, and cloud services, ensuring rollout plans, safeguards, and communication are crisp.
  • Operational ownership for packaging and change management: Improve how we introduce, bundle, migrate, and deprecate features across plans, including internal readiness for Support, Docs, and Marketing.
  • Status, visibility, and reporting: Translate complex work into clear stakeholder updates, including dashboards that reflect portfolio health, delivery confidence, risk, and impact.
  • Risk and incident-adjacent coordination: When reliability or support spikes happen, help organize response and follow-through (root cause visibility, ownership, postmortem actions, prevention work).
  • Governance and lightweight process: Develop and institutionalize scalable program practices (intake, kickoff templates, risk tracking, decision logs, retros) that fit how Jetpack teams actually work.
  • Facilitation and alignment: Lead high-signal working sessions when needed (kickoffs, pre-mortems, decision reviews, retros), so teams leave with clarity and momentum.
  • Continuous improvement: Identify recurring execution pain points in a broad portfolio and turn them into durable systems, templates, and playbooks, then teach and scale them.

What You Bring

  • 6+ years of experience in Product Operations, Program Management, Technical Program Management, PMO, BizOps, or similar roles in a product-led organization.
  • Proven success driving complex, cross-functional initiatives from ambiguity to delivery, across multiple teams and time zones.
  • Strong understanding of software delivery practices (SDLC, Agile, Kanban), and the judgment to apply them pragmatically.
  • Experience operating in a portfolio environment where multiple products, services, or offerings share infrastructure, teams, and constraints.
  • Excellent written communication and stakeholder management skills. You can turn chaos into crisp plans, decisions, and updates.
  • Strong analytical instincts. You know what to measure, how to interpret it, and how to turn insights into action.
  • Comfort operating in a distributed, asynchronous environment, with a bias toward documentation, clarity, and momentum.
  • Tools fluency (for example: Linear or Jira, GitHub, docs, dashboards, spreadsheets) and a preference for simple systems that scale.

Nice to Have

  • Experience operating product or program ops for a suite of products (not a single app), especially where releases touch both UI and backend services.
  • Experience coordinating work that spans pricing and packaging, connection and identity, billing, support readiness, and go-to-market.
  • Familiarity with WordPress, plugins, SaaS services, and ecosystems with third-party integrations and compatibility constraints.
  • Experience improving reliability workflows (incident follow-through, postmortems, preventative initiatives) in a customer-facing product.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
