A day in the life…
Solid practitioner of the following competencies, operating independently on assigned workstreams:

• Own a defined set of product objectives within the Customer Orders portfolio, prioritizing features based on business goals, UX, and stakeholder feedback
• Establish and monitor success metrics (OKRs and KPIs) for assigned workstreams
• Prioritize and maintain the product backlog for assigned workstreams, ensuring engineering teams are unblocked and moving forward against delivery targets
• Support tactical prioritization and ensure alignment across business and technical stakeholders
• Support requirements definition inclusive of wireframes, process flows, user stories, and other supporting artifacts

• Partner with UX, Research, and Engineering on feature design and development to ensure objectives are maintained
• Act as point of contact for assigned stakeholders — providing updates, gathering feedback, and fostering communication across teams
• Drive root cause analysis on KPI performance for assigned workstreams

 
You consistently demonstrate the following strengths:

• You bring energy and ownership to your work, showing genuine passion for your product and, most importantly, your customers.
• You approach challenges with a can-do attitude — understanding both stated and unstated issues, proposing thoughtful solutions, and owning them through resolution or clear hand-off.
• You comfortably shift between complex strategic thinking and routine execution, often within the same day.
• You effectively evangelize your ideas, vision, and roadmap to stakeholders at all levels — from managers to engineers to end users.
• You ask insightful questions, listen actively, and seek to deepen your understanding — a lifelong learning mindset.
• You align technical and non-technical stakeholders through clear, persuasive communication.
• You build trust across organizational levels through strong interpersonal, oral, and written communication.

 
You own this if you have…

• Minimum 3+ years of product management experience; physical store, fulfillment, or supply chain experience preferred
• Proven ability to take well-defined requirements and drive them through to development and delivery with minimal ramp-up time
• Ability to define, measure, and analyze processes to identify improvement opportunities
• Experience working across matrixed organizations with multiple stakeholder groups and third-party system dependencies
• Technical background and understanding of software development principles, Agile development, and testing methodologies
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
• Ability to build cross-functional relationships with teams such as Analytics, Engineering, and UX
