Launching the AI-powered Product Ops Role Finder
Be part of the Beta
A core tenet of Product Ops Confidential — and why we write, speak, podcast, and share what we know about our profession — is simple: we share to support the community as a whole. This profession has been built into what it is today by a community that shares, experiments, and helps one another.
In that spirit, for the last couple of years, Antonia and I have maintained the Product Ops Jobseekers Database — a curated list of professionals looking for their next Product Ops role — as a way for us to recommend the right people for the right roles. The results have been pretty amazing.
We’re now going a step further. We’re launching an AI-powered database of Product Ops roles currently available across popular job listing sites, all in one place. If you’ve ever searched for a Product Ops role on those platforms, you’ll know the minefield it creates — a jumbled mix of product management, project management, pure ops roles, and whatever else the algorithm decides is remotely relevant. We know what Product Ops is. We know what we’re looking for.
This database routinely checks for new listings, removes roles that have closed, and does its best to extract the key information we always care about — making it easy to categorise and browse through a clean, intuitive UI. It also extends the search horizon by identifying the hiring company where possible, and surfacing broader context about the business.
Here’s where it gets interesting: the database can cross-reference what it finds with professionals in our Jobseekers Database, automatically flagging and forwarding relevant roles to individuals who look like a strong fit. All automated (but have not switched this on yet)
This is very much in Beta. We’re continuing to refine how we crawl for relevant roles — which is an ever-moving target as job boards throw up new blockers — and experimenting with how roles are matched to professionals. None of this replaces the personal recommendations we make for people we know well; this is on top of that.
And now we’re ready to share it with you.
The database is currently open to everyone. If you’re already part of the Product Ops Jobseekers Database and would like to start receiving notifications for roles that match your profile, get in touch. And if you’d like to join the Jobseekers Database to be considered for matched roles, we’d love to hear from you too.
A quick note: these are not our roles. We are not responsible for the listings, your experience applying, or any guarantee of being matched to a role — but you knew that.
