What You’ll Do - Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Strategic Vision: Develop a clear roadmap for BrandsMart’s point-of-sale platform and future retail systems. Partner with stores, IT, and our POS vendor to plan and communicate upcoming changes before they hit the floor.
• Vendor & Release Management: Track our POS vendor's release cadence and vendor-driven changes, assess their impact on stores before rollout, and manage the day-to-day relationship with our POS vendor.
• Requirements Definition: Translate the retail systems roadmap into detailed requirements and acceptance criteria that internal IT and our POS vendor can implement against.
• Issue Triage & Resolution: Own the end-to-end process for how POS issues are reported, triaged, and resolved — from store-level detection through internal IT diagnosis to vendor escalation when needed.
• Non-Functional Requirements: Ensure the roadmap accounts for the security, reliability, and scalability our stores depend on, not just new features.
• Store Enablement: Champion the in-store experience by understanding how associates and managers use the POS day-to-day, and work to reduce friction and workarounds caused by system gaps.
• Roadmap Communication: Maintain and communicate a clear roadmap of upcoming POS changes to stores and internal stakeholders, so teams aren't caught off guard by vendor-driven updates.
• Systems Expansion: Build the foundation to expand product ownership beyond POS into other BrandsMart business systems over time.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with store operations, internal IT, and BrandsMart’s leadership to align priorities, gather insights, and keep everyone informed as changes roll out.
• Performance Metrics: Define and monitor key metrics related to POS health and support, such as issue volume, time to resolution, vendor SLA adherence, and store-reported downtime. Use data to prioritize fixes and improvements.
• Business Acumen: Develop a deep understanding of BrandsMart’s store operations, customer experience, and retail business model.
• Stakeholder Leadership: Lead without direct authority across stores, internal IT, and our POS vendor, building the trust and relationships needed to keep a fast, collaborative, results-oriented triage process running.

What We’re Looking For – Qualifications and Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field.
• At least 5+ years of experience in product management, ideally with retail systems, POS platforms, or enterprise software supporting store operations.
• In-depth knowledge of retail systems and store operations, with an understanding of how POS platforms support day-to-day business.
• Familiarity with enterprise POS platforms, vendor management, and third-party system integrations.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and make data-driven decisions.
• Experience with Jira or similar incident tracking and ticketing tools.
• Proficiency in Agile methodologies and product management tools.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
• The ability to meet the physical demands for this position, which frequently includes remaining in a stationary position, moving freely inside and occasionally outside of the office, and the operation of mechanical controls, such as a keyboard. 

Nice to Haves – Preferred Qualifications and Skills

• Strong problem solver with a willingness to roll up your sleeves to get the job done.
• Comfortable moving forward with less than perfect information, especially useful when triaging urgent store issues.
• Skilled at managing and resolving conflict through influence rather than reliance on direct authority.
• Courageous change leader, willing to challenge the status quo in how stores, IT, and vendors work together.
• Growth-minded, with a passion for learning and continuous improvement.
