Translate organizational strategy into scalable product capabilities for the APD Assortment space: own roadmaps, intake, prioritization, dependency management, and reporting; operationalize platform strategy and communicate roadmap direction to senior stakeholders. Lead continuous planning and enablement for APD Assortment by balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform sustainability and technical-debt management; manage risk-based prioritization to protect platform reliability and maintainability. Lead APD Assortment product initiatives end-to-end: run discovery and hypothesis validation, author PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria, conduct sprint planning, oversee delivery, and drive iterative improvements with engineering, design, data, operations, and vendor partners.

Manage and mentor a team of product managers and drive cross-functional execution: set vision, define OKRs and delivery plans; run regular 1:1s and performance conversations; lead hiring (panel interviews and candidate evaluation); coordinate program governance, cross-team planning, and backlog prioritization; and communicate trade-offs and timelines clearly at all levels. Define capacity and network planning requirements for enhanced assortment models: develop capacity models, throughput objectives, operating windows, inventory and assortment eligibility, and assortment tiers to ensure solutions meet market-level operating constraints.

Own vendor and merchant DSD integrations at scale for APD Assortment: establish standardized technical interfaces, sandbox and test plans, and rollout criteria; streamline partner onboarding, versioning, and verification to reduce integration risk. Define and own market-aware eligibility models and enforcement: specify assortment, weight/size, and inventory constraints; implement capacity-aware eligibility tied to throughput and operating windows and promised-speed tiers; build eligibility evaluation pipelines, A/B test eligibility rules during pilots, and instrument drift/failure metrics so rollouts scale reliably.

Lead item data governance for APD Assortment: own schemas and mappings (GTIN, Tempzone, dimension attributes), validation and reconciliation processes, vendor sync/onboarding rules, and data-quality SLAs; build dashboards and alerts for item health (mapping errors, missing attributes, freshness) and run remediation playbooks with engineering, data, and vendor partners. Contribute to the evolution toward intelligent, automated, and agent-enabled product workflows for APD Assortment: define roadmap initiatives and pilot automation/agent capabilities to reduce manual operations and enable smarter decisioning.

Lead adoption, launch, and scale of assortment changes: partner with business teams on enablement strategy, change management, positioning, pricing/fees, promo strategy, CRM/notifications, and in-app education; create launch playbooks, SOPs, and self-serve guides to support site launches and handoffs.
