The Product Stream Operations Manager (PSOM) is a governance, orchestration, and enablement function that operates at the intersection of business strategy and technology execution within the Product Oriented Enterprise Transformation model. This is not a delivery manager role. Instead, the PSOM creates the conditions in which delivery teams can perform at their best — by running governance forums, maintaining financial visibility, and resolving cross-team friction that would otherwise slow delivery. The PSOM is the operational right hand of the Product Stream Lead, co-chairs the Product and Platform Councils, leads the Scrum of Scrums, and acts as the financial steward of the product stream managing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) visibility, investment allocation tracking, and performance reporting across all product groups and platforms within the stream.
Manage the operating rhythm of the product stream — ensuring reviews, planning sessions, and governance meetings run to schedule and are substantively productive.
