About the role
Position Summary...
The Product & Launch Operations role drives the operating cadence, tooling hygiene, and cross-functional readiness required to plan, deliver, and launch a product portfolio predictably and efficiently. This role owns portfolio planning operations and roadmap governance within Airtable/Beacon, ensures KPI alignment and tracking across teams, surfaces portfolio risks and tradeoffs, and leads readiness management for major initiatives across Product, TPM, Engineering, Launch Ops, and key cross-functional partners (PMM, Sales, CS, Analytics).What you'll do...
Portfolio Planning Operations & Cadence- Own the planning operating model for the portfolio (annual/quarterly cadences), including timelines, templates, and required inputs/outputs.
- Run portfolio forums (e.g., planning reviews, prioritization checkpoints, execution health reviews) to drive alignment and decision-making.
- Standardize planning artifacts and ensure teams follow consistent processes for intake, prioritization, and sequencing.

- Define and manage roadmap governance (required fields, definitions, validation rules, and change controls).
- Ensure roadmap data is reliable for downstream reporting, launch planning, and executive communications.
KPI Alignment and Tracking
- Ensure KPIs are defined, instrumented, and aligned across teams (delivery, adoption, quality, reliability, customer outcomes) during the beginning of the planning cycle (before launch readiness).

- Build and enable reporting that provides leadership-ready visibility into portfolio performance and launch outcomes, with consistent and reliable tracking metrics.
Portfolio Management
- Proactively surface portfolio risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs; drive mitigation plans and decision points.
- Coordinate dependency mapping across teams and functions, and maintain escalation paths and resolution timelines.
- Provide clear, concise narratives for leadership on impacts to scope, timeline, resourcing, and customer outcomes.
Roadmap Change Management
- Own the process for roadmap changes (scope shifts, sequencing changes, date changes), including intake, impact assessment, approvals, and communications.
- Ensure changes are reflected consistently across Airtable/Beacon and communicated to impacted stakeholders.
- Maintain a decision log and change history to support transparency and reduce churn.
Major Initiative / Project Readiness Management
- Manage readiness for major projects across PM, TPM, Engineering, Launch Ops, and XFNs (PMM, Sales, CS, Analytics).
