A Day In The Life
You will spend your time working backward from the needs of pricing analysts and category managers, understanding their pain points and goals. You will partner with PM-Ts to define and prioritize the features that drive the most business value. You will run alignment meetings with leadership, write crisp product documents, and track progress against goals. No two days are the same; you might review a UX prototype in the morning and present a roadmap to senior leadership in the afternoon.
About The Team
Your morning starts with a stand-up alongside engineers reviewing forecast model performance, followed by a deep-dive with a Category Merchant to understand how they're using your tools to plan an upcoming seasonal event. After lunch, you're writing acceptance criteria for a new promotional forecasting feature, then joining a cross-functional working group with Supply Chain and Operations to align on planning handoff requirements. You close the day reviewing forecast accuracy dashboards.
