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. 
Roadmap Source of Truth  
  • Maintain the portfolio roadmap system of record by enforcing Airtable/Beacon hygiene: data completeness, taxonomy, ownership, and update cadence. 
  • 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). 
  • Establish metric definitions and governance like metric dictionary, calculation logic, refresh cadence, and ownership. 
  • 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). 
  • Drive readiness criteria and evidence
