Who You Are

Ontic is looking for a Director of Product Operations to join our Revenue Operations organization. As part of a centralized RevOps organization, this role sits at the intersection of Product, GTM, and Revenue Operations - helping to translate Product needs, roadmap and outcomes into effective/integrated GTM processes and GTM insights into actionable Product team insights & prioritization.

Partnering closely with the Product leadership team, you'll own the systems, processes and cross-functional cadences that keep product and revenue teams aligned as we scale.

This is a highly cross-functional, high-visibility role suited for someone who can function independently, build from scratch and operate equally well in a spreadsheet, a roadmap review and a QBR. This is an individual contributor role with the potential to scale and build the function as the company grows.

Responsibilities

• Performance Reporting: Prepare regular reporting & presentations on business results & key trends to help the leadership team understand how we are tracking to our goals, where there is risk and where there are successes to be replicated - product-level ARR analysis, consumption, churn, renewal rate
• Pendo Platform Ownership: Serve as a platform administrator for product usage analytics tools (e.g., Pendo), managing vendor relations, renewals, licensing and legal/PII compliance reviews

• Roadmap ROI: Enable tracking & measurement of roadmap return on investment (ROI), including ARR coverage and feature adoption curves
• Product ARR Targets: Collaborate with leadership to set and monitor product-specific revenue targets based on historical trending and expansion analysis
• Prioritization Signals: Build a structured process for capturing and synthesizing field feedback (win/loss, CS escalations, sales objections, support tickets) into a prioritized input for Product
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Build peer support and strong inter-company relationships with other key leaders and partner with them on various projects and initiatives
• Operational GTM Readiness
• Process & Solution Building: Establish and evolve key business processes and cross-functional handoffs to drive efficiency & build for future growth. Act as the intermediary with GTM & R&D teams to help translate initiatives into actionable solutions/processes that fit into existing infrastructure
• Tool & Data Enablement: Partner with Ops & Enablement to ensure the field has the technical tools and "just-in-time" insights needed for execution
• Systems Alignment: Maintain & evolve alignment between JIRA & GTM-facing tools/data to ensure engineering efforts are directly linked to revenue outcomes
• Client Commitments: Establish tracking/reporting for feature requests & roadmap commitments made to clients/prospects & ensure a single source of truth across Product & GTM teams
