Open role
[Remote] Product Strategy & Operations
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Vercel is hiring a leader to build and run its Product Strategy & Operations function. The role will establish operating rhythms, product launch and measurement systems, planning processes, and cross-functional alignment across EPD, GTM, and Finance.
Responsibilities
- Own the EPD rhythm of business: weekly operating reviews, monthly business reviews, planning cycles, and roadmap processes — building minimum viable process for each
- Run the ShipOps function to enable Launch Calendar reviews and Vercel’s high velocity “You Can Just Ship Things” approach
- Establish a "product landing" framework — a structured post-launch process that goes beyond the ship date to ensure new features and products are actually adopted, drive the intended business outcomes, and generate learnings that feed the next iteration
- Partner closely with Sales and Marketing teams to set targets, make plans and execute tactics that drive deal pipeline creation, and user launches and ramps
- Develop and maintain competitive intelligence systems that give product leaders a continuously updated view of the market landscape
- Partner with Data Engineering and Data Science to ensure the analytical infrastructure (data pipelines, warehouse models, tooling) supports the speed of analysis our business requires
- Partner with EPD leads to maintain team health, capacity visibility, and resource allocation so that the right bets are properly staffed and execution risk is surfaced early
Skills
- 8+ years in product operations, business operations, strategy, or a closely adjacent function inside a high-growth technology company
- Ability to understand complex, technical products and articulate their value to non-technical audiences
- Deep familiarity with the full software development lifecycle — you understand how EPD teams plan, build, and ship, and have experience improving those processes
- Passion for structuring and solving highly ambiguous strategic problems and owning end-to-end execution of solutions
- Experience leading complex, cross-functional projects with multiple functional stakeholders
- Past experience working at the intersection of product and go-to-market teams in a software company
- Strong oral and written communication skills, with a proven ability to work effectively with multiple, cross-functional stakeholders, including users
- Background in developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, or platform products — you understand the Vercel customer and can speak credibly about the space
- Frequently build your own agents to support workflows and data analyses
Benefits
- Equity as part of the compensation package
- Inclusive Healthcare Package
- Mentorship and events that help you build your network and skills
- Flexible Time Off
- The gear you need to do your role
- A WFH budget to outfit your space as needed
- Eligibility for a company bonus or variable pay program, depending on the role
