Platform Vertical

Overview

Deel is looking for a Senior Product Operations Manager to own the operations, planning, and cross-functional alignment for platform frameworks that power multiple product teams across our organization. You'll be the central connector between product, engineering, and internal stakeholders, managing a framework that's used by teams across Deel. This role requires excellence in communication, project management, and driving execution across organizational boundaries.

About The Role

In this role, you'll own the operational side of a critical platform framework used across Deel. You'll manage requests from internal teams who want to integrate the framework, coordinate with product and engineering on timeline commitments, and ensure smooth execution. You'll work across 2–3 product teams, serving as both an accountability partner and a bridge between multiple stakeholder groups.

This is a high-impact position that sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations. You'll be the person other teams turn to for clarity, coordination, and forward momentum.

Key Responsibilities

Framework ownership & alignment

• Own the operational health of platform frameworks. Manage communication with internal teams who report issues or want to integrate new features. Coordinate between stakeholder groups to ensure everyone's priorities are understood and addressed.

Project & initiative ownership

• Own projects end-to-end. Drive execution across product, engineering, and operations teams. Follow up on commitments, chase dependencies, and keep initiatives moving forward. This requires strong project management skills and the ability to push without being pushy.

Cross-org communication & planning

• Plan quarterly cycles and roadmaps across multiple teams. Synthesize requests from different stakeholders and create clear, actionable direction. Balance competing priorities and ensure everyone understands the plan and their role in it.

System thinking & automation

• Build systems to scale your impact. Create documentation, automations, and processes that reduce manual work and let you handle high volumes of questions efficiently. Think about how to answer recurring questions at scale rather than one-off.

Driving action & accountability

• Get commitments from other teams. Own follow-ups and make sure due dates stick. Be the person who ensures work gets done across organizational lines.

What We're Looking For

Communication & alignment skills

• You're an exceptional communicator who can synthesize complex information and distill it into clear, concise direction. You can influence without authority and build alignment across teams.

Ownership mentality

• You own what you touch. When you commit to something, it happens. You're proactive, you follow up, and you don't let things slip.

Planning & project management

• You're excellent at planning, breaking down large initiatives into manageable pieces, and managing timelines. You anticipate blockers and plan accordingly.

Business acumen & analytical thinking

• You understand how business metrics drive decisions. You're analytical and data-informed. You can sit at the table with stakeholders and contribute to strategic conversations about what to prioritize.

System thinking & automation mindset

• You think about how to build systems and processes that reduce toil. You're comfortable with AI and automation concepts and want to leverage them to scale your impact.

Cross-org influence

• You can drive initiatives and hold teams accountable without being their direct manager. You're skilled at navigating complex stakeholder relationships.

Experience & Background

• 5+ years in product operations, product management, or a similar operations-heavy role

• Proven success managing cross-functional initiatives or acting as a 

## Requirements

5+ years in product operations, product management, or a similar operations-heavy role. Experience working in platform, infrastructure, or internal tooling (beneficial but not required).
