In this leadership role, you will be the bridge between our complex operational challenges and cutting-edge data solutions. You will be responsible for identifying high-impact opportunities where data, AI and automation can revolutionize our planning, logistics, and decision-making processes. Your expertise will be in understanding the business, the data, and the possibilities of AI to define a compelling product vision and guide our AI, data and engineering teams to build solutions that deliver immense value.

As a Lead, you will also play a key role in mentoring other product managers and shaping the product culture within the team.

What You'll Do

• Own the Data & AI Product Vision: Develop and champion a clear product strategy and roadmap for Data & AI-driven initiatives within the supply chain domain.

• Identify Opportunities: Collaborate closely and build relationships with supply chain stakeholders to deeply understand their processes, data challenges, and automation pain points.
