Product Operations Manager - Valon｜Meet.jobs

Product Operations at Valon

The Product Operations team makes it possible for Valon to build, scale, and continuously improve our product and operations. They are our “swiss army knife” builders who embed into various parts of the business. Depending on the maturity of the operations that they’re embedded in, their role can vary - this can range from doing complex manual ops that aren’t ready to be owned fully by Ops to gathering business requirements to building / scaling processes to helping product prioritize the roadmap. The one common thread is that they do whatever it takes to grow and scale the business.

About the Role

We’re looking for a driven and detail-oriented individual who is passionate about building operations from the ground up and can operate in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment. The right candidate can both prioritize for the business strategically and also roll up their sleeves and get into the weeds with the operations.

• Drive process and product maturity to continuously improve operational efficiency and excellence as well as the homeowner experience
• Help successfully land new process and product launches and develop resources for the Operations team (e.g. project plans, standard operating procedures, FAQs, trainings, etc.)
• Liaise between various cross-functional teams to discover the best solution for the business
• Partner closely with the Operations to understand their needs and help drive product roadmap prioritization
• Project manage various internal workstreams to ensure team success and compliance
• Develop a deep understanding of the mortgage servicing industry

Ideal Background

• 5+ years experience working in consulting, finance, product management, or business operations roles in a fast-paced environment
