Product Operations Associate

The short version:

Who we’re looking for

People who love fixing things and making systems run smoothly. You’re the one who spots errors quickly, enjoys improving everyday workflows, and feels oddly satisfied when a messy sheet becomes a clean, automated system. If you think in terms of processes and product, enjoy solving operational puzzles, and take pride in creating tools that make everyone faster and better — you’ll thrive here.

What this role is about

You’ll be at the core of how Kraftshala’s programs operate — building automations, stabilizing academic processes, and ensuring accurate data across attendance, evaluations, dashboards, and scheduling. Whether it’s saving teams hours of manual work, maintaining reliable dashboards, or fixing issues before anyone notices, you’ll be the person keeping our systems clean, fast, and dependable.

Why you should apply

Your work will have immediate, visible impact — smoother classes, faster results, accurate dashboards, and PM/Academic teams who can focus on student learning instead of operational chaos. You’ll learn how scalable systems are built, how real-world automations work, and how to solve operational problems at scale — skills that open doors to product, analytics, ops leadership, and tech-enabled consulting roles. You’ll also work closely with PMs, academics, tech partners, and experts — building a network and discipline most people only gain much later in their careers.
