About the Role

Product Operations at Ramp sits at the intersection of product and business strategy, customer delivery, and operational execution.  Product operators are responsible for delivering the customer and analytical insights that shape our product evolution, driving fully enabled and fully evaluated product releases, and leading operational processes that both “keep the lights on” and help identify improvements in how Ramp executes on its mission to save businesses their most valuable resources - time and money.

As Director of Product Operations for Spend Management and the Ramp Platform, you will lead, and build, a team of product operators to drive massive success for Ramp’s core product suite.  Our Spend Management team owns the admin controls, key workflows, employee experience, travel experience, and underlying payment transaction platforms - it is the product responsible for driving the largest part of Ramp’s revenue and growth today.  You will guide your team to develop and continuously evolve our ongoing customer listening, product enablement, product release, incident response and operational monitoring processes, and deliver one-time impactful projects as needs are identified.  You’ll work both upstream with product managers, engineers, and data scientists to represent the voice of the customer and shape product decisions, as well as downstream with customer facing teams and key operational partners and vendors to ensure Ramp is equipped to scale rapidly.  Additionally, you will be a core part of pushing forward the mission, values, tooling, processes and culture of Product Operations as we continue to invest in this team to enable Ramp to scale.

• Earn the trust of key internal commercial and operational partners including sales, customer success, account management, customer support, and risk operations, and ensure their needs are reflected in product and process roadmaps

• Coach and develop direct reports and other ProductOps team members to increase their influence and impact across their engineering/product, customer-facing, and leadership partners

• Highly strategic thinker with lots of reps setting ambitious and well-defined team goals (using OKRs, SMART goals, etc) and then delivering on them successfully

• Analytically rigorous and deeply curious about the data of the companies you’ve worked at, in ways that have driven actionable insights and product roadmap updates

• High level of financial literacy - able to understand the P&L drivers of a given product and make decisions that create win-wins for customers and Ramp’s bottom line
