I've been seeing more and more roles for 'Product Operations Manager' popping up lately. It got me thinking - what's the real difference between a Product Manager and a Product Operations Manager?
From my understanding, a Product Manager is typically responsible for guiding the success of a product and leading the cross-functional team that's responsible for improving it. They set the strategy, prioritize features, and coordinate with other teams to deliver a complete product.
On the other hand, a Product Operations Manager seems to focus more on the operational aspects of bringing a product to market, like coordinating between different teams, managing resources, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
But I'm curious - for those of you who have worked with or as a Product Operations Manager, what's been your experience? How do you see the role differing from that of a traditional Product Manager?
