Sr. Product Operations & Strategy Manager

At Instructure, we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives. Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their education and careers.
We do this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome. And that's where you come in:

We're looking for a Senior Manager of Product Operations & Strategy to lead the systems that help Instructure's product organization move faster and smarter. You'll own board reporting, drive process automation across the organization, and manage the cross-functional projects that connect strategy to execution.

What You'll Need

• Five to ten years of experience in product operations, program or project management, strategy, management consulting, or a closely related field, including experience leading cross-functional initiatives.
• A proven record of managing board-level or executive reporting. You've built materials for quarterly and annual financial and product performance updates.
• Strong project management skills. You can run a team's operating cadence, keep cross-functional projects on schedule, and hold people accountable to deadlines.
• Hands-on experience automating processes. You've built, configured, trained, and monitored adoption of processes enabled through agents and agentic workflows, not just run experiments.
• Experience facilitating workshops with VP-level and senior leaders, driving decisions and building alignment in a room.
• Strong design thinking skills. You know how to take a messy problem, run a structured process, and turn ambiguity into action.

Onsite Collaboration Requirement: This role requires working onsite on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Thursday strongly encouraged as part of our company’s in-person collaboration model.
