About the Opportunity

About the Opportunity

Salsify’s Network team is on a mission to grow and scale the world’s most trusted, open, and complete product data network. As a Senior Network Strategy and Operations Associate, you will own the end-to-end process of bringing new network channels to market and launching needle-moving network growth strategies. You will own, build and facilitate a delivery framework that ensures a seamless journey to provide our brand customers with new syndication destinations, while also creating success and value for our retail customers – a true opportunity to impact both sides of our network.

We are looking for a self-motivated individual who is:

  • Passionate about delivery processes and driving cross-functional collaboration, including Retail Success, Customer Success, R&D, Professional Services, Support, and go-to-market functions
  • Equally adept at building and optimizing delivery processes as well as shepherding initiatives through those processes to achieve results and measure outcomes
  • Skilled in balancing a strategic delivery vision with meticulous attention to detail and follow-up

How You'll Make an Impact:

  • Maximize customer value for both sides of our network by facilitating new destination releases through effective program planning frameworks and tools
  • Enable future-facing Customer and Support teams by clearly communicating the roadmap and driving change and release communications.
  • Enhance cross-functional collaboration and clarity for all new, migrated, and improved channel releases
  • Create innovation and production capacity by organizing strategic programs for the Retail Strategy & Operations team

You'll Enjoy This Role If You Have:

  • Structured Thinker: You enjoy shaping vague or complex questions and hypotheses into organized, structured analyses and frameworks (i.e., untangling the knot).

  • Outcome-Oriented: You focus on insights that compel action, not just interesting findings.

  • Evidence-Guided: You back recommendations with thorough analysis, balancing attention to detail with efficiency.

  • Curious & Resourceful: You delight in learning, exploring new ideas, collaboratively brainstorming, and proactively seeking out information or experts.

  • Proactively Collaborative: You excel at working independently, but also actively build relationships to foster healthy dialogue and gain stakeholder buy-in or feedback.

  • Agile: You adjust quickly to changing priorities while maintaining high quality standards, and enjoy operating with some degree of ambiguity.

Must have:

  • 3+ years of experience in a Program Manager, Traffic Manager, Milestone Manager, or similar role leading multiple product or program initiatives
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage numerous tasks and stakeholders effectively
  • Demonstrated experience driving cross-functional team results and addressing misalignment
  • Ability to anticipate risks and challenges in programs, and take a proactive approach to problem-solving
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to synthesize information from multiple sources and simplify complex materials
  • Experience in reporting status and risks to executive leadership and managing change communications across teams.
  • Demonstrated aptitude for problem-solving, including the ability to break down a problem, logically structure thoughts, identify key questions, challenge assumptions, and recommend solutions.
  • Ability to empathize with diverse stakeholders and adapt strategies to align with their perspectives while achieving project objectives.
  • Comfortable operating with high energy and resilience in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment.

Bonus Points If You Have:

  • SaaS experience
  • Proficiency in JIRA and Confluence
  • Experience developing and rolling out process frameworks and managing change effectively
