Business Operations Manager – Product, Data Insights & Reporting

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential enterprise SaaS organization in their search for a Business Operations Manager - Product, Data Insights & Reporting based in Manchester. Our client is seeking a strategic, relationship-focused leader who can serve as the operational bridge between technical data execution and cross-functional business decision-making within their Product and Engineering organization.

This is not a hands-on technical execution role. You will excel as an exceptional relationship builder, organizational navigator, and team advocate who transforms complex data into compelling narratives that drive senior leadership decisions and business outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Establish deep, trusting partnerships with engineering and product stakeholders as well as cross-functional leadership, acting as the primary strategic bridge between analytical execution and business decision-making
• Translate analytical projects into highly compelling narratives, framing roadmaps in ways that resonate with senior stakeholders and drive meaningful alignment
• Navigate organizational dynamics and competing priorities with high political acumen, ensuring data-backed recommendations are successfully adopted and operationalized
• Maintain stakeholder momentum and manage expectations gracefully during long delivery cycles, keeping partners engaged and bought into the long-term analytics vision
• Advocate passionately for the analytics function, leveraging high demand for insights to build compelling cases for expanded support
• Lead, mentor, and protect a lean team of technical analysts, providing the necessary air cover for them to focus on deep execution while actively coaching them on communication and influencing skills

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience within the technology industry
• Extensive knowledge of product operations, business insights, program management, or a related role—ideally within a fast-paced SaaS, product, or engineering organization
• Proven track record of direct people management experience, with demonstrated success hiring, developing, and leading high-performing teams
• Exceptional communication, executive presence, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and build consensus among senior leadership
• Demonstrated experience working closely with cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Finance) and successfully influencing decision-making without direct authority
• Strong storytelling and presentation skills, with proven ability to turn complex technical data into simple, actionable insights for senior leadership
• Ability to manage a high volume of incoming requests, establish clear operational triage frameworks, and comfortably manage stakeholder expectations
• Solid understanding of how product analytics and reporting structures operate (e.g., data flows, modeling, visualization tools) to effectively translate technical needs—hands-on coding/modeling is not required
• Deep understanding of modern development methodologies (e.g., Agile, SAFe) and the product lifecycle in a SaaS context
