Senior Product Manager, Enterprise Inventory Services

Within Cox Automotive's Enterprise Inventory Services platform, this role focuses on shaping enterprise-ready inventory capabilities for a wide range of internal and external users. Based on site in Exton, PA, you will own discovery, strategy, specifications, backlog health, cross-functional alignment, adoption, and go-to-market plans to deliver measurable platform impact.

Responsibilities

• Lead problem discovery and strategy for your product area by engaging internal stakeholders (operations, support, business units) and external clients (dealers, integration partners) to identify and validate opportunities. Develop personas, map workflows, formulate hypotheses, and test them, grounding decisions in data, customer evidence, and competitive context.
• Draft discovery specs that clearly define audience, rationale, and solution, including measurable acceptance criteria and defined scope boundaries. Provide sufficient context for feasibility assessment and ensure the quality of work entering the development pipeline.
• Maintain a forward-looking pipeline of meaningful work for engineering teams, ensuring teams understand what comes next and why. Balance planning horizons to avoid waste in an AI-driven development environment while keeping enough runway to sustain momentum.
• Navigate a matrixed organization to build consensus by presenting evidence and clearly framed tradeoffs. Collaborate daily across product, UX, engineering, architecture, business leadership, and solution delivery, communicating headlines first and providing context second to enable decisive action.
• Define what complete adoption looks like for platform capabilities, craft rollout plans with implementation partners and operations, and track progress against measurable criteria. Treat internal customers with the same rigor as external ones.
• Surface status, risks, and wins proactively. Keep your manager and cross-functional partners informed at the appropriate cadence and level of detail. When an initiative is off track, present the issue along with a recommended path forward.

• Understanding of modern product development practices and the ability to drive multi-team initiatives forward.
• Proficiency with AI tools integrated into product workflows.
