About the role
- Mine operational data to surface root causes, not just symptoms, and translate findings into business recommendations that shape product and policy priorities
- Own the narrative for weekly business reviews (WBRs): explain why metrics moved, surface root causes, and drive accountability for follow-through
- Partner with Product and Engineering to influence roadmaps, represent operational realities in planning cycles, and hold teams accountable to ops readiness
- Monitor queue health, SLA adherence, and decision accuracy; escalate systemic risks before they compound
- Detect, triage, and coordinate resolution of operational breakages (bugs, routing issues, workflow failures) across cross-functional stakeholders — then own the RCA and ensure fixes stick
- Distill agent and frontline feedback into structured insights that close the loop between what's happening on the ground and what gets built
Requirements
- 5+ years in product operations, trust & safety, program management, or equivalent analytical operations role
- Proven ability to influence skeptical stakeholders using data as the primary lever. You don't just report what happened, you explain why and what to do about it
- Natural root cause thinker who asks the right questions and doesn't settle for surface-level explanations
- Experience building or managing feedback loops that translate frontline input into business change
- Strong analytical toolkit: SQL preferred, Excel proficiency required, comfort with AI tools a plus
- Project management experience (Asana or equivalent) and ability to drive accountability across teams you don't directly control
- Comfortable in ambiguity, calm under pressure, and clear in written and verbal communication with executive audiences
