Job Description

At Cox Automotive's vAuto unit, the Senior Product Manager will own the Inventory Management Core initiatives across Provision and ProfitTime.

Responsibilities

Discovery and Product Strategy: lead discovery for the product area across Provision and ProfitTime, validating problems with dealer partners, performance managers, Sales, Support, and internal stakeholders; define personas, map pricing and merchandising workflows, formulate hypotheses, and test them using data, customer evidence, and competitive context to build a defendable point of view.
Roadmap and Backlog: create and maintain a forward-looking product roadmap in collaboration with product leadership; own Epics and Features end-to-end, including input for PI Planning and backlog prioritization; provide AI teams with clear, sequenced work to sustain momentum without premature commitments.

AI-Fluent Product Work: regularly use AI tools (Claude Desktop, Copilot, and similar) for discovery synthesis, spec drafting, prototype generation, and context management; craft prompts as a core skill and build custom capabilities for product workflows with an eye toward AI-powered dealer solutions.
Data-Driven Decisions: ground recommendations in data from Amplitude, Tableau, Snowflake, and related sources; monitor post-launch performance and drive continuous improvement against defined KPIs.
Adoption and Go-to-Market: prioritize adoption metrics beyond deployment; define what complete adoption looks like, develop rollout plans with performance managers and support teams, and coordinate with Sales, Marketing, and training to ensure readiness; track outcomes against measurable criteria.
Stakeholder Engagement: act as a senior conduit among product, engineering, operations, and leadership; represent customer and dealer priorities to influence product and technology decisions; proactively surface status, risks, and wins with recommended paths when issues arise.
