Senior Product Operations Manager

Guidewire Software, Inc. is hiring a Senior Product Operations Manager to run operational rhythms for its Core Applications portfolio. The role manages governance, release support, reporting, dashboards, tooling, and process improvement to keep the product organization aligned and execution reliable.

Responsibilities:

• Own operations for a product domain. Manage the recurring operational rhythms of Core Applications end to end — reporting, release support, documentation, onboarding, planning coordination, and tooling administration
• Run the governance rituals. Operate the mechanics of the portfolio cadences — the Monthly Executive Portfolio Review, Biweekly Capability Review, and Quarterly Vision Council — including scheduling, pre-reads, decision logs, action tracking, and follow-through
• Keep the release cadence reliable. Maintain backlog hygiene, portfolio reporting, and SDLC/GPR governance evidence so roadmap status and commitments stay accurate, and Core Applications ships a steady rhythm of updates that sustains market leadership and customer satisfaction
• Turn signals into insight. Create and manage domain product-health dashboards and analyze feedback to surface risks early, highlight variances, and recommend corrective action
• Improve how the domain operates. Drive continuous process improvement across operational workflows, and support PM enablement and AI-fluency logistics as the operating model evolves

Requirements:

• 5+ years in product operations, program/project management, PMO, or a comparable operational role, ideally in an enterprise B2B SaaS or product organization
• Strong operational discipline and program-management skills — you build order out of many moving parts and reliably drive work to closure
• Demonstrated ability to apply AI to operational work and familiarity with Agentic SDLC
• Analytical fluency with reporting and dashboards, and the judgment to connect operational data to outcomes
• Proficiency with planning and tracking tools (e.g., Aha!, Jira, Confluence) and comfort administering and improving them
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to work across product, engineering, design, and go-to-market partners
• The ability to work with growing independence, manage competing priorities, and surface risks proactively
• Experience supporting portfolio governance, planning cadences, or leadership operating rhythms
• Exposure to P&C insurance or another highly regulated, enterprise software domain
• Product Management experience in a SaaS organization
