About the Team:
At Quizlet, Product Operations focuses on how work gets done. The team partners with Product and Engineering to improve execution reliability by strengthening the systems, operating rhythms, and shared visibility that enable teams to plan, coordinate, and deliver complex work.
We are moving toward an embedded operating model, where Product Operations partners closely with product and engineering teams to execute on priority initiatives and team operations while remaining part of a centralized group that collaborates on standards, tools, and practices across the organization. As the team and operating model continue to learn and evolve, roles flex to meet the organization’s highest-priority needs, creating opportunities to work across different product areas and initiatives over time.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a Product Operations Program Manager to drive execution for complex, cross-functional product work within a product and engineering pillar. This role combines hands-on program leadership with ownership of the operational systems, rhythms, and practices that enable teams to plan and deliver work consistently.
You’ll own execution for select high impact initiatives each quarter, ensure company wide operational programs land effectively within your pillar, and partner with other Product Ops leaders to build systems and processes that scale across the organization. You’ll work closely with Product and Engineering leaders to translate complexity into clear plans, realistic sequencing, and early risk visibility.
This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations and is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks in systems, and enjoys making complex work land predictably.
We’re happy to share that this is an onsite position in our San Francisco office. To help foster team collaboration, we require that employees be in the office a minimum of three days per week: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and as needed by your manager or the company. We believe that this working environment facilitates increased work efficiency, team partnership, and supports growth as an employee and organization.
