Principal, Product Operations, Strategic Initiatives

Our mission is to transform how people and machines work together to push the boundaries of human productivity. A leader in Industrial AI, Augury helps the world’s manufacturers leverage real-time production insights to drive new levels of efficiency. Combining predictive and prescriptive AI technology with industry expertise, production teams can proactively address alerts, minimize downtime, reduce asset costs, and maximize yield and capacity. Our customers achieve payback in six months or less, enabling global scale. We're looking for team members excited to partner with the world's manufacturers and build the future of production together.

About the Team:

Product Operations exists to make Augury’s transition from a single-product company to a multi-product platform scalable, repeatable and outcome-driven. We build and run the operating backbone for Product & R&D - from intake and prioritization through launch and post-release impact, ensuring what we build is grounded in real customer and business problems, what we ship is predictable and high-quality and what we release delivers measurable impact.

As Augury expands into new domains and markets, Product Operations improves how teams make decisions, align and execute by designing the systems and operating models that enable Product, Engineering and GTM to work effectively at scale. In addition to owning these systems, Product Operations operates as a flexible, high-leverage function, stepping into new problem spaces, supporting market expansion efforts and translating our product strategy into clear narratives for customers, partners and analysts.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a senior Product Operations leader to drive strategic initiatives that are critical to Augury’s growth, including leading our expansion into new verticals. You will translate high-level strategy into execution by building the operating models, processes and cross-functional alignment needed to successfully bring new products and capabilities to market. You will also serve as a public-facing representative of Augury’s product vision and operating approach - engaging with customers, partners and analysts to clearly communicate what we are building, how we operate and why it matters. This includes translating internal product strategy and complexity into clear, compelling narratives that support adoption, partnerships and market positioning.

In addition, you will own and evolve core parts of the Product Operations operating system, ensuring that Product & R&D can scale effectively as a multi-product platform. This includes improving how we prioritize, build, launch and learn from our products, while driving alignment and execution quality across Product, Engineering and GTM.
