Per Scholas is seeking a Senior Manager, Product Operations (Contractor) to strengthen operational rigor and execution reliability across the Product Services department. This role establishes the operating systems that enable curriculum products to move from intake through planning, delivery, launch readiness, and performance reporting with consistency and accountability.

The Senior Manager, Product Operations (Contractor) owns portfolio execution operations during the engagement, including intake workflows, sprint and milestone cadences, dependency and risk management, launch readiness standards, documentation and decision-trail governance, and KPI (Key Performance Indicator) reporting infrastructure. The role partners closely with Product Management, Training Delivery, Revenue, and Research & Evaluation (R&E) to ensure shared visibility and disciplined follow-through.

This role does not own product strategy, curriculum direction, evaluation methodology or analysis, or direct people management. It enables operational excellence so Product Managers can focus on roadmap and content decisions and Learner Evaluations can focus on study design, analysis, and learning impact.

Final prioritization and tradeoff decisions sit with the VP, Strategy & Design. The contractor is expected to surface options, impacts, and recommendations to support timely decisions.

This engagement will transition ownership of the operating cadence, tooling governance, and reporting workflows to the full-time Senior Manager, Product Operations at the end of the contract term.
