Key Responsibilities:

Product & Strategy:

• Develop new products and associated business processes that enable agility in  manufacturing and supply chain, optimize factory planning, and serve as inputs into strategic decisions

• Understand business problems related to supply chain and manufacturing operations; identify and represent user needs by actively defining and aligning product requirements with stakeholder teams

• Own and maintain the product roadmap, prioritizing features against measurable business outcomes rather than request volume

• Frame ambiguous problems quantitatively — size the opportunity, define the success metrics, and make build decisions, along with deciding what not to build

Technical:

• Translate business goals and customer needs into technical product requirements engineers can act on

• Closely collaborate with SW engineers to design scalable and reliable data pipelines and systems. Evaluate technical trade-offs and influence architecture decisions

• Work within agile development methodologies across planning, design, development, testing and pilot phases

• Comfort with SQL and python to independently test problem hypothesis, simulate effect scenarios and check data quality rather than waiting on someone else’s report

Stakeholders & Execution:

• Own the delivery of the overall technical and/or workflow solution with minimal effort and input from others; be the first person to identify and speak out when new program risks arise

• Build consensus across teams with competing priorities — earn alignment through listening and evidence, not escalation

• Establish a constructive working relationship with partner teams and manage the product lifecycle including requirements, algo/SW development, testing and pilot phases

• Become the single point of contact for the product, communicating effectively with cross-functional teams on a regular basis

Desired Qualifications:

• Degree in quantitative field (Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, Statistics or equivalent)
