Responsibilities
- Own the technology roadmap for product lifecycle management, collaborating globally across Planning, Allocation, Buying, Pricing, Merchandising, Supply Chain, Master Data, PLM, Engineering, and external vendors to improve how foundational product information is managed, what inventory is purchased, and how it is allocated.
- Develop and maintain a multi-quarter Merchandise Planning & Allocation roadmap spanning allocation, merchandise planning, forecasting, pricing, product data, and supply-chain change workflows.
- Define product outcomes, success measures, scope, sequencing, and tradeoffs, while keeping the roadmap current and ensuring delivery work stays visible.
- Prioritize investments using business value, user impact, risk, effort, technical dependencies, and regional readiness.
- Partner with planners, buyers, pricing, merchandising, supply chain, master data, and technology teams to understand workflows, pain points, controls, and opportunities.
- Translate discovery into clearly defined problem statements, process flows, user stories, acceptance criteria, release plans, and UAT approaches.
- Define and monitor product, operational, quality, and adoption metrics, using qualitative and quantitative evidence to refine priorities.
- Act as the accountable business-product counterpart, coordinating delivery across internal engineering teams and enterprise software vendors.
- Facilitate backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily delivery coordination, UAT, release readiness, and post-launch measurement.
- Identify risks and dependencies early, escalate decisions with clear options, and maintain a transparent decision log.
- Reset roadmap governance through focused stakeholder forums, defined decision rights, purposeful user-feedback sessions, and reusable standards for intake, prioritization, documentation, training, release communication, and vendor issue management.
- Improve stakeholder participation by tailoring forums and communications to the decisions each audience needs to make.
- Work closely with Engineering, enterprise application owners, data teams, and vendor partners on data quality, attribute mapping, integrations, regional business variation, vendor release cycles, and operational change management.
