About PeopleGrove
PeopleGrove is a B2B SaaS company focused on higher education alumni engagement and career outcomes. We partner with colleges and universities to help their communities connect, grow, and thrive — through two product lines: CORE (ELMS, CompMS, MyCred, Readiness, Recruit) and HUBS (Engagement Hub, Experience Hub, PathwayU). We're a remote-first team that moves fast, builds with purpose, and cares deeply about the institutions and students we serve.
The Opportunity
We're building a Product Operations function from the ground up, and this is the person who builds it.
PeopleGrove is at an inflection point. Our product and engineering teams are executing well, but the operating system that connects what we build to the rest of the company — Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Marketing — needs an owner. Release process, internal readiness, cross-functional coordination, and data hygiene are all areas where we know we can do better, and where doing better will directly accelerate growth.
This role reports directly to the VP of Product and has cross-company scope from day one. You won't be maintaining a process someone else built — you'll be designing and enforcing it.
Why This Role, Why Now
Release process dysfunction is one of the most visible and solvable problems on our roadmap right now. The person who fixes it will have direct, measurable impact on Sales trust, CS readiness, and product team effectiveness — and will help build a function that scales with the company. This is a high-visibility role at a company that's growing intentionally and investing in the infrastructure to do it well.
What You'll Own
Release Process & Internal Readiness
- Own the end-to-end release process: calendar, release notes, stakeholder communications, and enforcement.
- Ensure every release is accompanied by internal readiness across CS, Support, and Sales before anything ships.
- Define and hold the standard for what "ready to release" means at PeopleGrove, and build scalable processes from the ground up to support that. You are not just maintaining quality, you are defining it. This includes but is not limited to:
- Coordinating and running a monthly New & Next meeting to review new and upcoming releases.
- Managing bi-weekly product releases, including attending bi-weekly release lock in and communicating upcoming releases to stakeholders.
- Coordinating release notes production across product managers and ensuring consistent quality.
Cross-Functional GTM Coordination
- Serve as the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Sales, Support, and Marketing for every release cycle.
- Partner closely with the AVP of Product Marketing and Solutions Engineer on internal-to-external handoffs.
- Own cross-functional working rhythms: release meetings, RACI maintenance, and process documentation. This includes but is not limited to:
- Managing GTM logistics, including attending cross-functional working groups pre-launch for large releases.
- Defining set of GTM materials based on release tier, and ensuring execution across team.
Product Team Operating Rhythms
- Establish and maintain the processes, templates, and tools that help the product team operate consistently and at high quality.
- Own Jira hygiene, sprint health, and reporting cadence.
- Support quarterly planning rhythms and cross-team alignment rituals. This includes but is not limited to:
- Maintaining jira roadmap boards, catching outdated or inconsistent tickets, and tracking progress toward goals.
- Identify and escalate at risk and missed deadlines.
- Plan, schedule, and run quarterly roadmap planning sessions.
Data Hygiene & Reporting
- Build and maintain the data and reporting infrastructure that gives the product team clear signal on product quality, delivery, and outcomes.
- Define and track key product health metrics in partnership with Engineering and Analytics. This includes but is not limited to:
- Review Mixpanel events and implement consistent naming conventions and standardize prompts for querying data.
- Set up and report out on data dashboards for product KPIs and goals.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves
- 5–8+ years of experience in product operations, program management, or a senior product role at a B2B SaaS company.
- Has built or significantly improved a release process in a cross-functional environment — knows what "good" looks like and how to get there.
- Comfortable holding people accountable across teams without being adversarial — can follow up, push back, and enforce standards while keeping relationships intact.
- Strong working knowledge of standard B2B SaaS tools: Jira, Confluence, and similar.
- Finds genuine satisfaction in making systems work well — not looking to own a product roadmap, but to make the whole team more effective.
Strong differentiators
- Experience standing up a Product Ops function from scratch.
- Has operated at or alongside Director level with cross-company scope.
- Familiarity with higher education, edtech, or similarly mission-driven SaaS environments.
What This Is Not
This is not a coordinator role. It's not a project manager role. It's not a support function for a single product team. This person will walk into any team in the company, represent product's operating standards, and be taken seriously. They need to have done this before — or something close enough that the ramp is short.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Product Operations Manager
Verify your degree field matches the role
USCIS requires a direct relationship between your degree and the Product Operations Manager duties. A business, industrial engineering, or information systems degree maps clearly. A mismatch triggers an RFE, so document how your coursework aligns to your specific job description.
Check employer LCA filings on Migrate Mate
Search Product Operations Manager LCA filings by employer on Migrate Mate to identify which companies have an active H-1B sponsorship track record for this role specifically, not just tech or operations hiring broadly.
Target cap-exempt employers to bypass the lottery
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government research organizations are cap-exempt under USCIS rules. Product operations roles exist at these employers, and your petition can be filed at any time without waiting for the April registration window.
Use OFLC Wage Search before negotiating an offer
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your location and job level. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC code 11-3021 before your offer conversation so you understand the floor your employer must meet.
Align your job description to O*NET criteria early
USCIS evaluates whether your role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Pull the O*NET profile for General and Operations Managers and ask your employer to mirror its degree requirements in your offer letter and the I-129 supporting documentation.
Request premium processing if your start date is fixed
Standard I-129 adjudication can run months past October 1, the earliest H-1B cap petitions take effect. If your employer has a firm start date tied to a product launch or fiscal year, file with premium processing to get a decision within 15 business days.
H-1B Visa Product Operations Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Operations Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided your employer's job description requires a specific bachelor's degree or higher in a field like business administration, operations management, industrial engineering, or information systems. Roles written as 'any degree accepted' can fail specialty occupation review. Your employer's offer letter and the I-129 support documents need to explicitly tie the position's duties to a theoretical and practical body of knowledge in that degree field.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for Product Operations Manager positions?
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filing history filtered by role, so you can see which companies have actually sponsored Product Operations Manager or closely related titles rather than relying on a company's general reputation for sponsorship. LCA data is publicly filed with DOL and reflects real hiring activity.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Product Operations Manager role changes significantly after I'm sponsored?
A material change in duties, job location, or employer entity requires your employer to file an amended I-129 with USCIS before the change takes effect. If you move to a new office in a different metropolitan statistical area, a new LCA is also required. Failing to amend puts your status at risk, so flag role changes to your employer's HR or immigration counsel immediately.
Can I switch employers mid-H-1B if I get a better Product Operations Manager offer?
Yes, H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer as soon as they file a new I-129 on your behalf, provided your current petition has been approved and was properly filed. You don't need to wait for the new petition to be approved. Your new employer must file before your current authorized period ends, and the new role must also qualify as a specialty occupation.
Does the SOC code my employer uses on the LCA affect my H-1B approval?
It can. The Standard Occupational Classification code selected on the LCA determines the DOL prevailing wage level your employer must meet and signals to USCIS how they'll evaluate specialty occupation status. For Product Operations Manager roles, SOC 11-3021 is most commonly used. If the code doesn't match the actual duties described in your offer letter, USCIS may issue an RFE questioning whether the role qualifies.
