Role Overview
As a Senior Product Operations Manager for Partnerships, you own the strategy for how Housecall Pro engages with our largest franchise and enterprise partners. You are responsible for deeply understanding partner business models, identifying product opportunities, and driving strategic alignment between partner needs and our product roadmap.
You use AI to build — not just to optimize your own workflows, but to prototype and ship product solutions for partners. Whether it's an AI-powered insights dashboard for franchise operators or an automated gap analysis tool, you move from partner problem to working prototype quickly. You're as comfortable prompting an LLM as you are presenting to a partner executive.
You serve as a trusted advisor to both partners and internal Product leadership — translating complex partner requirements into strategic product recommendations and conducting research that shapes where we invest. You work closely with Product, Engineering, and Business Development leaders to ensure we're building the right solutions for our most strategic accounts.
Our team is passionate, empathetic, hard working, and above all else focused on improving the lives of our service professionals (our Pros). Our success is their success.
What you do each day:
Own Partnerships Strategy
- Define and drive the strategic approach for engaging with franchise and enterprise partners
- Build frameworks for evaluating partner requirements, assessing business impact, and prioritizing investments
- Identify patterns across partners to surface strategic opportunities that inform product direction
- Use AI to analyze partner data at scale — and when you spot an opportunity, prototype a product solution to validate it
- Develop metrics to measure partnership health, product delivery effectiveness, and business impact
Research & Influence Product Direction
- Conduct market research on franchise, distributor, and supplier models to identify product opportunities
- Perform competitive analysis to understand how partners evaluate solutions and where gaps exist
- Leverage AI tools to accelerate research synthesis — turning large volumes of partner feedback, meeting notes, and market data into actionable insights
- Synthesize partner feedback and market insights into strategic recommendations for Product leadership
- Partner with Product Managers and Directors to translate research into roadmap priorities
Lead Partner Engagement
- Serve as the senior technical point of contact for strategic partners, managing executive-level relationships
- Lead discovery sessions to deeply understand partner business requirements, operational challenges, and growth objectives
- Use AI to build partner briefing docs, account intelligence summaries, and meeting prep — so you walk into every conversation with full context
- Present to partner executives on product roadmaps, integration capabilities, and strategic solutions
- Handle escalations and complex technical challenges, providing strategic guidance on solutions and timelines
Drive Cross-Functional Execution
- Lead cross-functional teams across Engineering, Product, Legal, and Business Development to deliver partner solutions
- Coordinate API integrations and technical implementations with Engineering teams
- Identify where AI can solve partner problems directly — and build prototypes to prove it before handing off to Engineering for production
- Manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects from requirements through delivery
- Ensure seamless handoffs between Business Development, Implementation, and ongoing Account Management
Scale the Function
- Build scalable processes, SOPs, and playbooks that enable the partnerships function to grow
- Build and deploy AI-powered tools and workflows — from partner-facing prototypes to internal automations that scale the team's output
- Establish escalation workflows, communication protocols, and prioritization frameworks
- Mentor team members and develop best practices that elevate partnerships capabilities
Qualifications:
- 5+ years experience in technical account management, product operations, product management, or strategy consulting
- 1+ years experience leading and mentoring others
- Bachelor's degree in related field or equivalent work experience
- Demonstrated experience building with AI — you've used tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar to create working prototypes, product demos, or tools (not just prompting for personal productivity)
- Comfort going from partner problem to working prototype without waiting for Engineering — no CS degree required, but you should be a builder
- Experience working with enterprise software integrations and APIs
- Strong understanding of SaaS business models and franchise/enterprise operations
- Proven ability to conduct market research and translate findings into strategic recommendations
- Ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across senior stakeholders
- Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects
- Willingness to travel as needed to support partners (typically 15-20% annually)
What will help you succeed:
- Experience in B2B SaaS or enterprise software environments, particularly with franchise or multi-location businesses
- You've built something with AI that people actually used — a prototype, an internal tool, a product feature — not just experimented
- Strong communication skills with ability to present to executive audiences (internal and partner)
- Strong affinity for product strategy — you can connect partner needs to product opportunities
- Excellent organizational and project management skills
- Deep understanding of how Product organizations operate and make prioritization decisions
- Analytical mindset with ability to synthesize qualitative and quantitative data into insights
- Experience with product management tools (Jira Product Discovery, Confluence) and automation platforms (Claude, n8n, Zapier)
- Comfort with ambiguity and ability to translate complex partner challenges into actionable problem statements
- Customer empathy with ability to balance partner advocacy with business priorities
- Our interview process includes building a working prototype with AI — you should be excited about that, not intimidated
