Join us in the endeavor of accelerating the path to safe & useful clinical super intelligence by becoming part of our community of problem solvers, technologists, clinicians, and innovators.

The Role:

We’re looking for our founding Product Operations Manager to build and scale the systems that power Ambience’s product development. You’ll be the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Go-to-Market—ensuring predictability, clarity, and transparency across our roadmap, release timing, and success metrics.

This is a highly visible, cross-functional role where you’ll define how Ambience builds, ships, and learns. From shaping our Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC) to launching our AI Lab and Customer Early Access Program, you’ll enable our teams to move faster, learn continuously, and deliver products that delight clinicians and health systems.

Our Product roles are hybrid in our SF office 3x/wk.

What You’ll Do:

• Drive roadmap & release excellence

  Establish a predictable release operating model with Product & Engineering, ensuring roadmap clarity and visibility for all stakeholders. Lead cross-functional product education sessions and partner with Engineering on release tooling (flagging, rollback, observability).

• Turn feedback into insights

  Build structured intake channels for clinician and customer feedback, partner with PMs to translate signals into insights, and launch Ambience’s AI Lab and Early Access Program to accelerate innovation and customer engagement.

• Define the PDLC & enablement playbooks

  Create Ambience’s Product Development Lifecycle with clear gates (Discovery, Alpha, Beta, GA) and exit criteria. Develop enablement playbooks and materials to help Product Managers, GTM, and CS teams consistently and confidently bring features to market.

• Measure product success

  Build BI dashboards to track adoption, usage, ROI, and clinical outcomes—ensuring success metrics are the trusted source of truth for executives and cross-functional teams.

Who You Are:

• A systems thinker. You design scalable processes and frameworks, not one-off fixes, and bring clarity to complex, ambiguous problems.

• A cross-functional leader. You can align Product, Engineering, GTM, and CS around a shared plan, influencing without direct authority.

• A strong communicator. Whether presenting a roadmap update, explaining a process change, or sharing data insights, you tailor your message to any audience.

• Analytical and data-driven. You’re fluent in building dashboards and translating raw product data into actionable insights.

• An enablement-oriented partner. You ensure everyone—from PMs to executives—can confidently communicate and drive adoption of new releases.

• Experienced. You bring 6+ years in Product Operations, Technical Program Management, or Product Management, with a proven record of building operational systems.

Bonus points for experience in enterprise SaaS, running early access programs or innovation labs, and working in mid-sized, high-growth B2B startups.
