Manager, Product Operations

The Manager, Product Operations serves as individual contributor as the product-operations and executive-support partner to the Vice President of Product Management and the Consumer PC leadership team. A central responsibility is creating the internal leadership presentations, reports, and operating materials that support executive reviews, decisions, and organizational alignment. The role develops a trusted, current view of product performance, major initiatives, budget performance, Product Life Cycle (PLC) status, and organizational objectives and key results (OKRs), then translates that information into concise, decision-ready content.

The role applies the operating discipline associated with HP Chief of Staff organizations within a manager-level execution scope. Product leaders own strategy, product decisions, budgets, and PLC commitments. The Manager, Product Operations gathers and reconciles inputs, maintains the reporting system, coordinates preparation, surfaces exceptions, tracks actions, and uses tools and automation to simplify the organization's operating rhythm.

The role helps the VP and leadership team:

• Prepare clear, accurate presentations for internal leadership forums.
• Understand business and product performance.
• Monitor strategic initiatives and OKRs.
• See budget performance, forecasts, and material variances.
• Communicate a clear, aligned narrative to internal stakeholders.

• Establish a trusted Consumer PC performance dashboard covering product performance, portfolio milestones, initiatives, OKRs, and key risks.
• Establish a repeatable plan, actual, forecast, and variance view with Finance.
• Create a weekly VP product report and recurring leadership-deck templates.
• Map recurring operating forums, deliverables, contributors, and deadlines.
• Automate the first high-frequency workflows for data collection, reminders, variance identification, and reporting.

Own the coordination, development, and quality of recurring internal presentation deliverables for the VP and Consumer PC leadership team. Leadership presentation development is a central responsibility of the role and a primary channel for reporting performance, framing decisions, and aligning the organization. Typical deliverables include:

• Weekly VP product updates.
• Staff-meeting and leadership-team materials.
• Monthly operating reviews.
• Quarterly business and product review presentations.
• Product and portfolio performance reviews.
• Budget and forecast reviews.
• Roadmap and PLC updates.
• Strategic-initiative readouts.
• Annual and quarterly planning materials.
• Executive decision decks.
• Internal partner-alignment presentations.
• All-employee and broader organizational materials, as required.

Collect inputs from multiple teams, create a coherent storyline, reconcile numbers and messages, strengthen charts and data visualization, identify pages that require decisions, and manage the review and approval cycle. Maintain reusable templates and a content calendar to improve the speed, quality, and consistency of recurring presentations. Use AI and automation to generate first-pass summaries, refresh recurring pages, identify changes from previous reviews, and validate consistency. Apply human judgment to narrative, prioritization, and executive communication.

A central mandate is to use tools to make the organization easier to operate. Identify recurring manual work in portfolio reporting, business reviews, PLC reporting, initiative tracking, OKR updates, budget reporting, and presentation preparation. Prioritize and automate the workflows with the greatest operational value. Potential approaches include direct system integrations, APIs, Power BI, Tableau, Excel and Power Query, workflow automation, Microsoft Power Platform and similar low-code tools, SharePoint and data repositories, Jira, Aha!, Productboard, scripting, and approved AI agents or assistants. Automation opportunities include:

• Collecting status updates.
• Refreshing KPI and budget views.
• Detecting missing inputs.
• Tracking schedule movement.
• Generating reminders.
• Identifying variances and milestone changes.
• Creating draft narrative summaries.
• Refreshing recurring presentation pages.
• Assembling source data for leadership reviews.

The role requires enough technical fluency to prototype straightforward automations, understand data relationships and APIs, and partner effectively with IT, data, Finance, and engineering teams on complex integrations.
