Job Description
Director, PreSales Operations
Amplify
Role Description Amplify Education is building a new function at the intersection of Product, Marketing, and Supply Chain — and this role sits at its heart. The Director, PreSales Operations is a newly created position within the Inbound team, established to address the absence of a formal cross-functional planning function between Product and Supply Chain, resulting in misaligned forecasts, late-stage product changes, and avoidable inventory fulfillment risk. This role is scoped to build the governance structures, planning infrastructure, and cross-functional operating rhythms that ensure product decisions and supply chain realities stay connected from the start, preventing operational losses across the organization. This Director will own the cross-functional planning architecture that connects product decisions to supply chain realities — before those decisions become costly commitments. They will design and institutionalize governance processes and serve as a key partner to Product, Marketing, and Supply Chain leadership in ensuring that programs are planned, launched, and transitioned with operational discipline. This is a process architecture and strategic planning role that is primarily focused on designing and scaling cross-functional operating systems, with ongoing responsibility for governance, coordination and execution oversight of those systems. Reporting to the Vice President of Inbound Operations, this Director will own the end-to-end pre-sales planning architecture — governing product launch readiness, change control, lifecycle management, and cross-functional alignment across all physical materials for Amplify Education, Inc. Essential Responsibilities - Cross-Functional Process Design & Governance - 35% - Design and implement an operational readiness model, and own ongoing governance once operationalized, ensuring no program advances without supply chain sign-off at defined development milestones. - Establish and manage a change control framework that ensures all product changes — errata, version revisions, and scope adjustments — are evaluated for operational and financial impact before execution. - Continuously improve the processes and governance structures that connect Product, Marketing, and Supply Chain decision-making, replacing informal communication with repeatable, accountable operating rhythms. - Define escalation paths and decision ownership across Product, Marketing, and Supply Chain so that issues surface and are resolved at the right level before they become costly commitments. - Launch Readiness & Commercialization Planning - 20% - Lead end-to-end launch readiness planning for new programs and editions, coordinating across Product, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Go-To-Market to ensure all operational criteria are met prior to commercialization. - Drive a launch readiness framework that synchronizes product timelines, demand forecasts, manufacturing capacity, inventory build, and distribution readiness for every release. - Ensure all product launches meet defined operational readiness criteria, including supply chain capacity, inventory availability, and distribution alignment, before customer commitments are made. - Product Lifecycle & Obsolescence Strategy - 20% - Own the product lifecycle register and govern formal version transition and end-of-life planning for all active programs, ensuring transitions are planned with enough lead time to prevent avoidable write-offs and customer disruption. - Partner with Finance and Supply Chain to support tracking and reduction targets, with progress reported quarterly to executive leadership. - Manage inventory drawdown strategies for sunsetting programs, coordinating customer migration timing with supply chain positioning to minimize excess and shortage risk. - Identify and flag lifecycle risks early — including version overlap, demand uncertainty during transitions, and end-of-life timing misalignment — and drive cross-functional resolution before exposure accumulates. - Data Architecture & Operational Alignment - 10% - Define business requirements for operational product data — including item hierarchies, BOM structures, launch planning attributes, demand driver logic, and lifecycle designations — and partner with Technology and BizSys teams to implement within ERP systems. - Champion data standards that enable accurate demand planning, sourcing strategies, and fulfillment execution, reducing manual reconciliation and assumption-driven decisions across teams. - Collaborate with BizSys and Technology Management to ensure data requirements are correctly implemented in ERP and planning systems, and that system configurations support modular product architectures. - Produce and maintain a monthly data quality report surfacing gaps, error rates, and trends, reviewed at the cross-functional planning sync. - Stakeholder Management - 10% - Serve as the central point of accountability for cross-functional operational alignment. - Facilitate monthly tactical syncs and contribute to quarterly strategic reviews, ensuring active program gate status, open change control requests, and escalating risks are visible to the right stakeholders. - Translate complex operational risk into clear, decision-ready language for senior leadership — from coordinator-level execution to EVP-level visibility. - Build and sustain trusted partnerships across Product, Marketing, Finance, and Supply Chain so that cross-functional alignment is the default, not the exception. Qualifications - Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience - 8+ years of experience in supply chain operations, product operations, program management, or a closely related field - Demonstrated experience designing or significantly improving cross-functional business processes - Strong track record of building governance frameworks, change control systems, and structured planning cadences in complex organizations - Experience working across Product, Marketing, and Operations teams — able to translate between strategic intent and operational execution - Excellent communication and facilitation skills — comfortable running senior leadership meetings and presenting structured recommendations - Intermediate financial acumen: able to frame cost/benefit trade-offs, quantify operational risk, and communicate impact in business terms Preferred Qualifications - Experience in education technology, publishing, or curriculum/materials-based businesses - Familiarity with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred) and CRM platforms (Salesforce) in a supply chain or operations context - Background in inventory planning, demand forecasting, or product lifecycle management - Experience with modular or configurable product architectures — understanding how product design decisions impact fulfillment complexity - PMP, APICS CPIM, or equivalent certification - A track record of leading small, high-accountability teams in a matrixed organization.
