Product Engineering Sr. Manager - Digital Commerce

Product Engineering Manager – Digital Commerce Intelligence (Nova)

At Pepsi Co's International dCommerce team, we are shaping the future of Digital Commerce by building innovative products and capabilities powered by emerging technologies. Our mission is to accelerate business growth, regain market share, and create outstanding digital experiences for consumers across global markets.

While closely connected to the wider Pepsi Co ecosystem, the dCommerce team operates with a strong start-up mindset: entrepreneurial, fast-moving, and impact driven. Here, you will have the opportunity to influence strategic decisions, build products from the ground up, and see your work make a tangible difference at scale.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Product Engineering Manager to lead the evolution of Nova, our flagship Digital Shelf Intelligence product. Nova brings together a rich ecosystem of Digital Commerce signals — spanning sales performance, digital shelf analytics, performance marketing, and more — enabling commercial teams to identify high-impact actions, win in digital channels, and delight consumers.

Having successfully completed our first foundational year, Nova is entering an exciting growth phase. This role offers a rare opportunity to scale an internally incubated product from early development into a global cornerstone of Pepsi Co's Digital Commerce strategy.

You will shape the engineering team, define the technical architecture, and determine how and when to evolve from BI-led solutions into a fully end-to-end application. Partnering closely with Product Management, you will translate vision into reality while balancing innovation, scalability, and delivery.

Product Delivery & Execution

• Partner with the Product Manager to translate product vision into a clear and achievable technical roadmap
• Own the end-to-end delivery of Nova, from data ingestion and modelling to user-facing features
• Define delivery cadence, rituals, and ways of working for a newly formed, multi-disciplinary squad (data engineers, BI engineers, data scientists, and software engineers)
• Balance short-term feature delivery with long-term investments in architecture and platform foundations

Technical Leadership

• Set the technical direction for Nova, collaborating with Data and Solution Architects on key design decisions
• Evaluate and recommend the platform evolution strategy, including the transition from Power BI to custom-built applications
• Ensure technical choices support the long-term product vision, including automation, "next best action" capabilities, and cross-functional integrations
• Define how Nova's technology stack integrates with the broader Pepsi Co Digital Commerce and enterprise ecosystem

Engineering Excellence

• Establish and embed engineering best practices across coding standards, data modelling, testing, CI/CD, documentation, and release management
• Ensure data pipelines, models, and applications are designed for scalability, reliability, and performance
• Promote reuse of existing platforms and components across Pepsi Co, reducing duplication and increasing efficiency
• Actively manage technical debt, balancing speed to market with long-term platform health

Talent & Team Development

• Build, lead, coach, and develop a high-performing, multi-disciplinary engineering team
• Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, technical excellence, and continuous improvement
• Grow team capability and capacity to support ongoing product and business expansion

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as the primary technical partner to the Nova Product Manager, sharing accountability for product success
• Work closely with Data Architects, Solution Architects, BI and Data Engineering leaders to ensure alignment and shared standards
• Collaborate with Platform and Infrastructure teams to address scalability and operational needs
• Engage with business stakeholders to understand needs, showcase progress, and validate technical feasibility
• Maintain strong collaboration with US-based Product and Engineering counterparts, sharing knowledge while respecting local autonomy
