While dedicated Product Managers own each functional area, this role is the “glue” that connects them: partnering with those PDMs as peers to own the end-to-end omni-channel roadmap, drive cross-domain initiatives and special projects, and ensure a seamless, consistent customer experience from product discovery through fulfillment, post-purchase, and return. You will collaborate with business partners, subject matter experts, analytics, and IT to review business processes, define requirements and stories, ensure delivery of new features and functionality, and identify future optimizations that scale across channels. Principal Duties And Responsibilities Drive product vision • Own and drive the omni-channel roadmap and special projects, partnering with the functional-area PDMs and business owners to assemble, sequence, and prioritize cross-domain initiatives into a unified, companywide plan. • Build an inspiring product vision that connects front-end customer experiences with back-end fulfillment, inventory, and store capabilities into a single, cohesive journey. • Define feasibility and best-practice testing components, and create supporting user stories, business requirement documents, and specifications for these projects (e.g., ROI analyses, functional specifications, use cases, usability scenarios). Cross-functional partnership • Work closely with other Product Managers, Project Managers, engineers, and IT across the current tech stack to identify interdependencies and incorporate every business line into our technology plans. • Facilitate cross-functional processes that help scale the company’s performance, serving as the liaison across Ecommerce, Order Experience, Inventory Management, Supply Chain, Store Operations, Marketing Technology, Finance, IT, and QA to align on specifications for new features and functionality. • Participate in Design, Development, Quality Assurance, and UAT cycles and sign off on features and projects before implementation across systems. • Seek improvement recommendations from key business stakeholders across channels, incorporate them into the product roadmap, and perform cost/benefit analyses to determine priority and feasibility. Technical expertise • Breadth across the omni-channel tech stack, including Ecommerce Platform, Order Management System, Store Technology, Supply Chain / Warehouse Management, and the integration points into corporate systems. • Comprehensive understanding of order-to-cash, fulfillment, logistics, order routing and routing rules for distribution through multiple locations (DCs and Stores), and post-purchase actions such as payments, refunds, appeasements, fraud, and tax. • Understanding of how data and inventory thread across platforms, enabling consistent availability, pricing, and customer experience regardless of channel. • Research and recommend “best practices” based on competitive analysis for omni-channel features and projects. Measurement mindset • Measure and track project performance and provide the organization with pre- and post-launch results analysis. • Identify metrics and key performance measures across channels, and use data to drive decisions that enhance the customer and user experience.
