This role is systems-driven and technically oriented, owning research operations, analytics tooling, experimentation enablement, and cross-functional program execution. You will also provide interim UX/UI PM coverage during defined periods to maintain delivery continuity.

• Standardize workflows and playbooks to make research, growth analytics, and VoC outputs discoverable, actionable, and reusable.

• Serve as programmatic owner for behavioral analytics platforms, including rollout planning, governance, tagging strategy, enablement, adoption, and success metrics.

• Partner with UX, Product, Engineering, and Analytics to embed insight tools into discovery, validation, and optimization workflows.

• Support quarterly and annual planning by translating leadership priorities into roadmaps, milestones, and capacity models.

• Design and implement processes, templates, and operating models to improve predictability, visibility, and execution quality.

• Manage vendor relationships and tooling investments in partnership with DesignOps.

• Maintain operational tooling and reporting across systems, delivering executive-ready dashboards, reports, and communications that clearly articulate program health, risks, and outcomes.

• Provide interim UX/UI PM coverage during leave periods to maintain momentum on active initiatives and manage dependencies.

• Cultivate strong cross-functional partnerships with PMO, Digital Success Ops, and Analytics to ensure alignment, resource efficiency, and consistent program delivery.

• Champion inclusive, ethical, and insight-driven practices across Digital Success and the Customer Success organization.

Experience

• 7+ years of program or operations management experience, including 4+ years supporting UX, Research, Growth, Analytics, or DesignOps organizations.

• Proven success managing complex, cross-functional programs involving research, analytics platforms, or experimentation frameworks.

• Strong understanding of UX processes, research operations, VoC systems, and behavioral analytics.

• Experience leading tooling implementations, governance frameworks, and operational rollouts.

• Skilled at influencing without authority and aligning senior stakeholders.

• Experience managing vendors, external partners, and tooling investments.

• Proficiency with Asana, Jira, Smartsheet, or similar tools, including dashboards and reporting.
