Director, Product Operations

Denver, CO, Atlanta, GA

About Procare

For over 30 years, Procare Solutions has been dedicated to empowering early childhood educators by providing products and services that enable them to focus on the care, safety and education of children.  We recognize the responsibility that comes with nurturing and educating children, which is why our child care management solutions are designed to automate business processes, help ensure safety and compliance, communicate with families and provide educational resources and training to help teachers and children thrive.

Over 40,000 satisfied customers have chosen Procare Solutions as their trusted partner in providing exceptional care for young minds.   

A Little About the Role

Procare Solutions is the leading software platform for the early childhood education (ECE) market, serving tens of thousands of child care programs across the country. As we execute an ambitious AI-native platform strategy, we are at an inflection point: we move faster than 
Brightwheel, we outbuild Playground, and we earn the trust of enterprise customers who depend on us. The Director of Product Operations is the connective tissue that makes all of that possible.
In this role, you will own the infrastructure that connects product investment to business outcomes. You will drive cross-functional execution across our four platforms Online, Desktop, SCW, and ChildPlus ensuring that what we ship is measured, communicated, and tied to retention, revenue, and customer value. You will build the operational systems that let a fast-growing product organization stay coordinated, move quickly, and prove that its work is working.
This is a high-visibility, high-impact role reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer. You will be the single owner of the execution infrastructure our AI strategy depends on and the person who helps Procare move from output-driven to outcome-driven.

What you’ll do:

Cross-Platform Coordination & Operational Infrastructure

  • Own the release calendar across all four platforms (Online, Desktop, SCW, ChildPlus), ensuring coordinated launches that minimize customer disruption and support cross-platform initiatives
  • Establish release rhythms, launch readiness criteria, and post-launch review processes that scale as the product team grows
  • Own the operational backbone of the product organization: cross-functional meeting cadences, decision logs, escalation paths, and inter-team coordination
  • Drive the adoption of tooling and AI-driven workflows that accelerate the team's ability to understand customer behavior and make faster decisions

Outcome Metrics & Business Intelligence

  • Build and maintain an outcome scorecard connecting each major product initiative to a specific business metric, target, and timeline-replacing output tracking with impact measurement
  • Track and report on value realization for launched products: did the investment move the metric it was supposed to move?
  • Partner with CPO, Finance to align product investment modeling with TAM expansion priorities

Stakeholder Communication & Reporting

  • Own the internal communication of product decisions ensuring that sales, customer success, and support teams are equipped to represent what is built and when
  • Partner with the cross-functional readiness to connect operational readiness to launch execution
  • Identify and close the gaps between product, engineering, marketing, and customer success particularly around launches, rollouts, and customer-facing commitments

Our ideal candidate will have:

  • Outcome orientation: You connect every process you build to a business result. You measure what matters and relentlessly close the loop between investment and impact.
  • Cross-functional leadership: You earn trust across engineering, product, finance, and customer-facing teams without direct authority. You know how to align stakeholders who have competing priorities.
  • Operational rigor: You build systems that scale release calendars, prioritization models, metrics frameworks and you hold the organization to the processes you put in place.
  • Data fluency: You are comfortable with quantitative analysis, can build models in Excel or equivalent tools, and can turn raw data into a clear story for executive audiences.
  • Bias for action: You are scrappy. You solve problems with the resources available and do not wait for perfect information or perfect conditions to move.
  • Customer-centric thinking: You understand that every operational decision ultimately affects a childcare director, a teacher, or a family. You keep that context front of mind.
  • Empowered communicator: You can write clearly, present to executives, and run effective meetings synthesizing complexity into crisp, actionable outputs.
  • 7+ years' of experience in product operations, program management, business operations, or a closely related role within a software product company
  • Demonstrated experience owning cross-functional execution programs involving engineering, product, and go-to-market teams
  • Experience building outcome-based metrics frameworks and connecting product investment to business results
  • Strong analytical skills with proficiency in data tools (Excel, SQL, or BI tools) and operational tooling (Jira, Confluence, or equivalent)
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Operations, Computer Science, Product Management, or related field
  • Experience at a B2B SaaS company with multiple product lines or platforms
  • Background in the early childhood education, K-12, or adjacent vertical software markets
  • Experience working alongside an AI strategy or in organizations that are actively adopting AI-driven development workflows

Physical Requirements:

  • This position works most of the time in a fixed office location and may involve sitting and/or standing for prolonged periods
  • Frequently required to communicate verbally and in writing (mostly email) with customers, prospects, and other employees
  • Use of computer, telephone, and other office equipment for the greater part of the workday
  • Occasional travel may be required for this position

Why Procare?

  • Excellent comprehensive benefits packages including: medical, dental, & vision plans
  • HSA option with employer contributions

  • 401K Plan with employer match and immediate vesting

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

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.
