Senior Product Manager - Retail Planning

About the Company

Why We Built Lyric: Supply chains are more critical and complex than ever. Every day, large enterprises navigate trillions of possible decisions that could impact the bottom line. Powerful algorithms and AI can address these problems, yet most organizations struggle to leverage supply chain AI  current SCM technologies are either rigid, limited-scope point solutions or custom solutions built in-house, which demand immense expertise and investment.

That is…until now.

Enter Lyric:
Lyric is an enterprise AI platform built specifically for supply chains, offering the best of both worlds:

• Out-of-the-box AI solutions for optimizing networks, allocating inventory, scheduling routes, planning fulfillment capacity, promising orders, propagating demand, building predictions, analyzing scenarios, and more, plus

• A platform-first approach that empowers both business and technical users with end-to-end product composability, leveraging no-code tools, their own code, or even forking our code to build and refine supply chain decision intelligence

With Lyric, enterprises no longer have to choose between flexibility and speed, they get both.

The Mission: We’re building a new era in supply chain with the team best equipped to lead it. With over 20 years at the intersection of supply chain and algorithms, we developed a deep conviction that global supply chains needed something like Lyric. Since our inception in December 2021, that conviction has been validated time and time again.

Today, a growing number of Fortune 500 companies, including Smurfit West Rock, Estée Lauder, Coca-Cola, and more, are innovating on their own terms with Lyric. We can’t wait to see what our customers, both current and future, are empowered to build with us next. Come build with us!

Retail planning is still largely built around planners navigating workflows, interpreting data, making hundreds of decisions, and manually translating those decisions into action.

We think there is a fundamentally different future.

At Lyric, we're building the next generation of Retail Planning capabilities, combining deep planning intelligence with agent-first product experiences that can reason, recommend, act, and increasingly execute planning work autonomously.

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager, Retail Planning to help build that future.

This isn't just about digitizing existing retail planning workflows. You'll help determine which decisions should remain planner-led, which should become AI-assisted, and which can become truly autonomous.

• Own product strategy and execution for major Retail Planning workflows across Hardlines and Softlines.

• Develop a deep understanding of how retailers make assortment, inventory, allocation, replenishment, pricing, and related planning decisions.

• Translate messy, interconnected planning problems into clear product primitives, workflows, and capabilities.

• Work directly with retailers and planners to understand where existing planning systems break down and where Lyric can create step-change improvements.

• Define product requirements, prioritize the roadmap, and drive products from discovery through launch and adoption.

• Challenge the assumption that planning software should simply provide better dashboards and workflows.

• Identify planning decisions and activities that AI agents can analyze, recommend, orchestrate, or execute autonomously.

• Design human-agent interactions that give planners leverage without removing the context, judgment, and control they need.

• Work with AI/ML and engineering teams on products that reason across large amounts of retail data and operate across multi-step planning…
