Data Product Manager - Supply Chain | Onsite

Key accountabilities / essential functions

· Defines and maintains the roadmap for supply chain data products, aligning investments to service, inventory, productivity, cost and member-availability objectives.

· Runs discovery with supply chain operators and leaders in clubs, distribution centers, transportation, replenishment, fulfillment and planning to understand decisions and operational constraints.

· Owns prioritization across inventory visibility, in-stock and out-of-stock insights, replenishment, DC throughput, transportation, order visibility, exception management and network performance.

· Defines canonical business concepts, operational KPIs, business rules, event requirements, latency expectations, acceptance criteria and data quality thresholds.

· Partners with engineering, analytics and architecture to deliver governed products on Databricks that support both analytical and operational workflows.

· Builds a path from descriptive visibility to predictive and prescriptive decision support, including exception alerts, demand sensing, inventory optimization and scenario planning where justified by evidence.

· Plans launch, workflow integration, training, support readiness and adoption with operational users, recognizing that value is realized only when decisions and behaviors change.

· Makes dependencies across merchandising, clubs, finance, vendors, logistics systems and shared data visible before they affect committed outcomes.

· Measures product performance through adoption, timeliness, quality, decision-cycle improvement and the operational outcome each product is intended to influence.

Scope, impact and decision making

Owns an end-to-end portfolio of supply chain data products and makes roadmap, scope and sequencing decisions within that portfolio. Recommends trade-offs across operational domains and shared platform capacity. Products may serve corporate, distribution-center, club and field users, with impact measured through adoption, data quality, decision speed and relevant supply chain outcomes.

Problem solving and complexity

Supply chain problems are cross-functional, time-sensitive and dependent on rapidly changing inventory, order and logistics signals. The role must reconcile definitions across systems, balance real-time needs against feasibility and distinguish root causes from symptoms while designing products that work in operational settings.

Leadership and influence

Leads through product vision, evidence, facilitation and influence rather than direct authority. Creates clarity across business, data, engineering, analytics, architecture, security and change-management partners; makes trade-offs visible; and holds the product team accountable for outcomes and adoption.

Key relationships and communication

· Supply chain, logistics, replenishment, fulfillment and distribution leaders: strategy, discovery, KPI definition, prioritization and adoption.

· Club operations and merchandising: inventory availability, workflow needs and cross-domain decisions.

· Data engineering, analytics, data science, architecture and platform teams: data models, event patterns, performance, quality and delivery.

· Technology application teams and external partners: source-system dependencies, integration requirements and operational readiness.

Knowledge, skills and experience

Required qualifications

· 5+ years of relevant product management, data product, analytics product or comparable experience.

· Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

· Experience owning product vision, discovery, roadmap, prioritization, requirements, launch readiness, adoption and outcome measurement.

· Hands-on working knowledge of Databricks and modern lakehouse concepts, including governed data products, pipelines, semantic layers, data quality, lineage and self-service consumption.

· Ability to partner effectively with data engineering, analytics, data science, architecture, security, privacy and business teams.

· Ability to define product outcomes and KPIs, use evidence to make prioritization decisions and communicate complex data topics in business language.

· Working knowledge of agile product delivery, backlog management, dependency planning and change adoption.

· Working knowledge of supply chain language and strategy, including inventory, replenishment, forecasting, purchase orders, distribution-center operations, transportation, fulfillment, service levels and exception management.

Ways of working

· Keeping member and business value the deciding factor when scope pressure would cut it first.

· Building consensus across functions that have no reporting line to each other.

· Changing direction when evidence shows an approach is not working rather than continuing because of sunk cost.

· Holding commitments across concurrent workstreams and communicating early when constraints require a trade-off.

· Holding data products to ethical, privacy, security, quality and governance standards under pressure to ship.

Preferred qualifications

· Retail, wholesale club, grocery, distribution, logistics or omnichannel fulfillment experience.

· Experience with WMS, TMS, ERP, order management, inventory, robotics or automation data.

· Experience with control towers, forecasting, optimization, event-driven data products or operational AI.
