Product Operations Lead - Remote

Overview

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse Type 2 diabetes and obesity in a billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or obesity. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse type 2 diabetes and obesity through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and live diabetes-free. Join us on our mission to reverse diabetes and obesity in 1B!

We are seeking a Product Operations Lead to help us increase development velocity and hone our operating practices.

As our lead for Product Operations, you’ll play a critical role in building the operating rhythm that powers Virta’s product development organization. This role is designed for a highly motivated individual contributor who thrives at the intersection of strategy, process, and execution.

You will establish and drive our planning cadences — from Now/Next/Later roadmaps to quarterly executive readouts — and coach squads to improve their rhythms and decision-making. You’ll also take on high-impact cross-functional projects, partnering with product leadership to ensure we are not only building the right things, but building them in the right way.

This is a unique opportunity to help scale a mission-driven company by shaping how our product organization plans, aligns, and executes.

In Short

• You’ll know you’ve crushed this role if our development velocity increases, stakeholders consistently know and agree with our Now, Next, Later sequencing and everyone has clarity to the impact that we’ve shipped.
• Establish and drive Virta’s product planning rhythms using a Now/Next/Later framework, enabling continuous planning, clarity across teams, and alignment with product, design, engineering, and analytics.
• Facilitate alignment across squad and group leaders by proposing cadences for readouts and updates (e.g., twice-per-quarter stakeholder syncs, quarterly senior management reviews, and quarterly product memos that summarize progress and highlight upcoming focus areas).
• Coach squads on agile and scrum mechanics — building stronger squad-level autonomy, decision-making, and collaboration, without serving as a scrum master.
• Improve our line of sight to impact – so that individual features have sensitive, responsive metrics that also ladder up well to our longer range OKRs and KPIs.
• Lead special projects that increase product org effectiveness, such as driving agendas and outcomes for Product Development offsites, coordinating preparation of product materials for board meetings, and improving org-wide processes.
• Serve as a trusted operational partner to product and development leadership, identifying bottlenecks, surfacing insights, and driving continuous improvement in how the org operates.

Requirements

• Significant experience in Product Operations, Program Management, or a Chief of Staff capacity within a product development organization.
• Proven ability to design and drive planning cadences at the squad, group, and executive level.
• Deep understanding of Agile and Scrum mechanics, with experience coaching teams to improve rhythms, velocity, and decision-making.
• Exceptional facilitation and communication skills — able to create clarity, build alignment, and influence without formal authority.
• Strong organizational and project management skills; capable of juggling multiple initiatives and ensuring follow-through.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with product, design, engineering, analytics, and leadership stakeholders.
• Hands-on experience with JIRA, Confluence, and Google Workspace; SQL fluency a plus.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range of $199,277 - $267,000 based on experience.
• Remote-first work environment with flexible working arrangements.
• Opportunity to work in a mission-driven company focused on reversing diabetes and obesity.
• Supportive team culture that values transparency and collaboration.
• Access to professional development resources and training.
