Who We Are
Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.
Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.
About the Role
As a Product Operations Manager, you’ll work closely with Product and Engineering teams to drive launch operations and quality, ensuring teams can operate effectively as Notion scales. You’ll serve as the core liaison between Product and the go-to-market organization, helping ensure new products and features are successful.
This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days.

Your core responsibilities are:
Partner with product teams to help drive product strategy by synthesizing customer + internal signals into clear insights, framing bets/tradeoffs, and driving alignment on priorities.
Build agentic workflows, tooling and processes that drive engineering velocity and a higher bar for launch quality
Coordinate end-to-end launch of new features across teams, starting with early access programs with external customers to setting clear exit criteria for GA launches, to ensure successful outcomes.
Build evergreen feedback loops and triage + evaluation systems that allow teams build with confidence and prioritize the right bets.
Build strong relationships and drive clarity with key partner teams.

You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills that allow you to act with high agency, at multiple altitudes.

A Note on AI
You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
