Program Manager, Design & Research Operations

Location: United States

We’re looking for a Program Manager, Design & Research Operations to help our Experience Design organization work effectively at scale. You’ll manage a small Design & Research Operations team and lead a defined set of strategic programs across Design, Research, and Product.

Research Operations experience is especially important. Experience spanning both Research Operations and Design Operations is highly valued. You’ll partner with Design and Research leaders to identify operational needs, improve ways of working, and deliver programs that support the broader organization.

As our organization becomes increasingly AI-enabled, you’ll help teams adopt practical tools and workflows that reduce friction, improve access to insights, and support better collaboration.

What we’re looking for

• 8–10 years of management experience, including managing, coaching, and developing a team.
• 5+ years of focused Research Operations experience; experience across both Research Operations and Design Operations is especially valuable.
• Strong program management and operations experience in a product, design, research, or technology organization.
• An MBA or equivalent experience.
• Experience identifying high-impact opportunities and taking programs from definition through execution.
• A strong understanding of Design and Research workflows, tools, and operational needs.
• Experience building processes and programs that work across a large or complex organization.
• The ability to communicate clearly with project teams and senior leaders, including presenting progress, risks, results, and recommendations.
• Experience improving collaboration, documentation, and knowledge sharing across functions.
• Expertise in AI-enabled ways of working and sound judgment about where new tools can improve team effectiveness.
• The ability to move between organizational strategy, team leadership, and hands-on problem solving.

We’re especially interested in candidates who can help Design and Research teams adapt thoughtfully as their tools and practices evolve.
