Responsibilities
- Drive the full product lifecycle for your roadmap — discovery, definition and validation, development, launch, and iteration — across the Merchandising and Owned Brands teams
- Lead the evaluation and build/buy decision for a Product Information Management (PIM) system to centralize product data, descriptions, images, and specs across channels
- Partner with the Owned Brands team to design and deploy technology solutions that replace manual, Google Sheets-based manufacturing and production workflows

- Define meaningful metrics for your space, work with data and engineering teams to surface them, and communicate their impact to the rest of the organization
- Build solutions that account for the realities of working with external vendors who cannot be mandated to standardize their processes — designing for the world as it is, not the world as you'd like it to be
- Use AI tools to accelerate discovery, prototyping, and delivery wherever possible
