Requirements
  • Process design experience. You've built or significantly improved operational processes in a product or tech environment. You think in systems, not tasks.
  • Cross-functional influence. You know how to align people who don't report to you. You bring clarity to ambiguous situations and can drive decisions across teams.
  • Metrics-driven. You track adoption and satisfaction as seriously as any product team tracks conversion. You know how to set a baseline and measure change.
  • Bias toward scalability. You distinguish between fixing a one-off problem and building something the whole team can use. When both paths are possible, you ask: will this still work when the team doubles?
  • Full ownership of your domain. You take accountability for outcomes, not just tasks. Blockers are your problem to solve — not someone else's.
  • AI automation fluency. You've used AI tools to automate workflows or processes — and you can identify where automation creates real leverage vs. where it's noise.
  • Fluent English (C1+). We're a mixed company — the product team works in Russian, but you'll have English-language meetings daily and work with English documentation constantly.
  • 2–3 years of experience in People Management. You'll be managing a small team with plans to grow, so hands-on experience leading and developing people is essential.
Job Responsibility

  • Be the primary entry point for new Product Ops initiatives — prioritize them, decide what gets resourced, and route what doesn't fit.
  • Lead major cross-team process changes: design the frame, align stakeholders, and drive adoption.
  • Own cross-team processes across the Product department (Product, Design, and Analytics) where central coordination is required — quarterly planning, goal decomposition, metrics alignment.
  • Build and maintain shared frameworks and artifacts (prioritization logic, metrics models, decision templates) that improve clarity and consistency across the product team.
  • Identify and escalate systemic process problems that require cross-team or leadership-level decisions.
  • Drive AI automation of product workflows — identify high-leverage opportunities, build or oversee solutions, measure against baselines, and decide what scales across the team.
  • Manage Product Ops focus and load: ensure the team works on things that move the needle, not reactive noise.
