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 s
