Principal Enterprise Architect - Product-to-Market

About Gap Inc.

At Gap Inc., we create culture as much as we create clothes. Our ambition is to become a high‑performing house of iconic American brands that shape culture. Our portfolio—Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta—each brings a distinct point of view to how we show up in the world and serve our customers. Old Navy democratizes style with quality and value for all.

Gap champions originality through essential pieces that celebrate individuality. Banana Republic is rooted in a spirit of discovery, creating modern pieces inspired by craftsmanship and travel. Athleta champions the Power of She through confidence, strength, and movement. We’re driven by a shared purpose: to bridge gaps—between people, perspectives, and possibilities—to create a better world. We’re building a team that performs at a high level—people who think boldly, take ownership, and turn ideas into impact.

If you’re ready to learn fast and help shape what’s next, you’ll fit right in.

You’re the architecture point of contact for Product‑to‑Market—the entire pipeline from consumer insights and line planning through sourcing, manufacturing, inventory, pricing, and store delivery. That’s not an org chart line on a slide. That’s the revenue engine of four global brands:
Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Athleta. You will own the architecture decisions that determine whether these brands can move faster, source smarter, price dynamically, and get product to the right place at the right time. You’re accountable for translating what the business needs into technology choices that actually work—and for killing the ones that don’t. This is a hands‑on architecture role inside a transformation.

Not a governance seat. Not an advisory board. You are in the work.

• Lead product selection and vendor evaluation, actively rationalizing a complex landscape of legacy and SaaS platforms across PLM, sourcing, inventory management, merchandising, pricing, and franchise. Run the methodology, facilitate cross‑functional evaluation teams, build scorecards, present trade‑off analyses, and drive decisions. Build vs. buy is a conversation you have weekly, not annually.
• Own the end‑to‑end solution architecture for your P2M domains—consumer insights, assortment/line planning, digital collaboration (merchants designers vendors), product design, MFP/buy planning, costing, sourcing, PO tracking, inventory visibility, replenishment, pricing optimization, and store planning. Design the target state, sequence the migration, and hold engineering accountable to the architecture.
• Drive AI and automation adoption where it actually creates value—AI‑driven inventory forecasting, attribute‑based buy models, dynamic pricing, size localization, speed‑to‑market acceleration. Identify the high‑value use cases, ensure responsible and compliant implementation, and execute in alignment with our enterprise AI strategy and Office of AI direction.
• Integrate across the enterprise—your domains don’t exist in isolation. Inventory visibility feeds eCommerce. Pricing engines drive promotions across channels. Sourcing data flows through supply chain. Design integration patterns that make systems work cohesively, not just coexist.
• Create architecture artifacts that drive decisions—CDD, SDD, impact assessments, vendor analyses, technology roadmaps. These aren’t shelf‑ware. They’re the documents that move $50M+ investment decisions through our stage‑gate process.
• Govern without being the governance police—participate in design reviews, approvals, standards discussions, and technology evaluations. But the posture is enablement, not gatekeeping. You make teams faster by giving them clarity, not slower by giving them process.
• Mentor and build…
