📋 Description

• Co-design and steward the cross-functional planning calendar for the Product organization — coordinating annual planning cycles, aligned artifacts, delivery expectations, and planned moments of alignment with Sales and GTM. • Resolve the misalignment that exists today — inconsistent work planning methodologies across suites, mismatched planning timeframes (platform, digital product, and suites all on different cadences), lack of backward planning for cross-team dependencies, and rolling release cycles out of sync with the school year — by introducing the lightest framework that genuinely solves the problem. • Maintain dynamic business unit and cross-product roadmaps and ensure alignment across all other planning functions, building shared visibility into where the portfolio is headed and how dependencies fit together. • Design the standardized end-to-end launch process across business units — including launch readiness checklists, health checks, cross-stakeholder touchpoints, release documentation, and clean flow of data from product to supply chain. • Co-develop the launch playbook with Go-To-Market, Sales, Customer Experience, Marketing, and Supply Chain — building it with the functions executing against it, not imposing it on them. • Codify ready-to-launch protocols that ensure pricing is finalized, manufacturing and distribution are confirmed, market collateral is approved, and Sales and CX teams are fully enabled — every time, regardless of which suite is launching, and without adding meaningful overhead to the teams doing the work. • Steward and continuously evolve the five-gate stage gate process that the organization is currently rolling out — including the differentiated tracks (e.g., new programs, new markets, in-market management) so that gating is right-sized to the investment and not a one-size-fits-all forcing function. • Partner with Finance & Analytics to link funding and resourcing decisions to gate readiness, helping deliver against the 2026 KPI that 60% of 2027 R&D spend is vetted through stage gates or an independent strategic framework.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of progressive experience in business operations, program management, process design, or product operations leadership — ideally in technology, education, media, publishing, or another product- and content-driven business. • Demonstrated track record of building lightweight, well-adopted process: frameworks that teams actually use rather than binders that gather dust. • Proven experience designing and rolling out core operating processes at scale — stage gates, planning cadences, launch readiness frameworks, scope change governance, or analogous frameworks in complex, multi-product organizations. • Strong bias toward partnership and co-creation: you have designed and rolled out processes by listening first, prototyping with operators, and iterating publicly. • Track record of leading cross-functional product launches end-to-end — including the GTM, Sales, CX, Marketing, and Supply Chain coordination that turn a “ready to ship” product into a successful one in market. • People management experience — you have built and led teams of process designers, program managers, or business operators, and you’ve grown talent in those roles. • Comfort with both strategy and execution — you can articulate the “why” of a new process to senior leadership and the “how” to the program manager building the template. • K–12 or education context preferred — familiarity with curriculum development, the school adoption cycle, or the general complexity of the American education system is a meaningful advantage. • Educational foundation: Undergraduate degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.

🏖️ Benefits

• Salary is only one component of the Amplify Total Rewards package, which includes a 401(k) plan • competitive health insurance and mental health options • basic life insurance • paid time off • parental leave • access to best-in-class development programs.
