Product Operations Manager (Technical Focus)
This is a remote position.
We’re seeking a highly organized and technically fluent Technical Program Manager to support cross-functional execution across product, engineering, and operations.
This role is ideal for someone who combines strong project management skills with a solid technical understanding of how digital systems work. You will not be coding, but you must be comfortable discussing APIs, backend/frontend architecture, deployments, and technical workflows with engineering teams.
This is a hands-on operational role. Beyond managing timelines and tracking deliverables, you will work directly with tools such as CMS platforms, analytics dashboards, and other digital systems to support execution.
You will play a key role in ensuring initiatives are delivered on time, aligned with product goals, and executed with operational excellence.
Responsibilities:
-
Build and manage project timelines across cross-functional teams
-
Ensure on-time delivery of product and operational initiatives
-
Coordinate closely with engineering, product, and operations teams

Translate business and product requirements into actionable execution plans
-
Work directly with tools such as CMS platforms and analytics systems
-
Monitor progress, identify blockers, and proactively drive solutions
-
Maintain clarity and alignment across stakeholders
