Head of Product Strategy and Operations

Overview

Who We Are

At Apptegy, we are more than a SaaS company; we are partners dedicated to transforming how schools communicate and shape the future of education. Your work here will directly empower districts to share their stories, engage their communities, and celebrate student success.

We're a team of thoughtful, high-performing individuals committed to making a tangible impact. If you're looking for a dynamic environment where you'll be supported with exceptional mentorship and resources to grow your career, come build with us.

The Role

You will be the operating engine for Product & Engineering — turning strategy into outcomes. You’ll connect our vision to what ships : working with the team to set a clear product strategy, and then running a crisp operating cadence, and turning data and customer signal into the right portfolio bets. Day to day, you’ll make it easier for teams to do their best work — and you’ll see the impact in faster delivery, cleaner launches, and products that meaningfully serve schools.

You’ll also serve as Chief of Staff to the CPTO, keeping leaders aligned, decisions unblocked, and our roadmap tied to business results. If you love simplifying complexity, telling a clear story with numbers, and rallying product, engineering, and go-to-market around measurable goals, this role is for you.

What you’ll do

• Work with the CPTO and the product & engineering leadership team to form the product strategy, and then facilitate portfolio planning, quarterly investment trade-offs, and outcome measurement via OKRs
• Run the PD&E operating rhythm (QBRs / MBRs, release governance, risk / dependency reviews, post-launch impact)
• Build unified product health and ROI dashboards with Data and Finance (adoption, engagement, NRR impact, NPS, cost to serve)
• Translate research, Sales / CS insights, and support data into clear bets, experiments, and decision memos
• Orchestrate cross-functional launch readiness with GTM, CS, Security, and Legal; tighten handoffs from discovery to adoption
• Serve as Chief of Staff to the CPTO (staff cadence, offsites, ELT / board materials, tracking strategic initiatives)
• Lead and grow a small but experienced Product Ops team (3 existing team members); own the product tooling stack and data quality standards
