What You'll Do
Own the operational processes that help developers bring apps, plugins, and integrations to market, from submission and review through launch, appeals, and ongoing monitoring.
Manage external review partners and policy operations workflows, helping teams apply standards consistently while identifying areas where guidance, process, or quality expectations need to improve.
Partner with Product, Engineering, Policy, Legal, Security, Developer Experience, and Go-to-Market teams to turn platform goals and requirements into clear, effective operating processes.
Lead high-priority partner reviews and escalations, balancing speed to launch with user trust, and consistent standards.
Create feedback loops across product, policy, tooling, and developer experience teams to reduce friction for developers and improve the quality of integrations over time.
Lead automation and AI-driven initiatives, such as agentic workflows, to improve the speed, consistency, and scale review and support processes.
Serve as a senior cross-functional partner, using operational expertise and platform insights to help shape product strategy and improve how the ecosystem works.

Exercise strong operational judgment and can balance speed, safety, and business priorities when making decisions.
Bring structure to ambiguous, cross-functional problems and drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Policy, Legal, Security, and Operations.
Think in systems rather than individual cases, identifying recurring patterns and building durable processes instead of one-off solutions.

Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, translating complex requirements into practical guidance.
Care deeply about developer and partner experience while maintaining consistent standards that protect the platform and its users.
