Role overview:

As a Sr Product Manager –  Properties Design Capabilities, you will lead the development and maintenance of the custom tools and systems that enable teams to translate company strategy into physical spaces. These design capabilities support a wide range of formats—including new Prototypes, New Stores, Remodels, and Special Projects, all with the goal of elevating the guest experience and bringing joy to all guests. The outputs of these tools not only guide how we build and maintain our physical assets but also power downstream operations across the enterprise. 

This is a unique opportunity to drive meaningful transformation as we move from a fragmented set of legacy systems to a unified, modern platform that integrates 3D modeling and data management. Your leadership will streamline workflows, improve cross-functional collaboration, and ensure high-quality, consistent data—unlocking efficiencies throughout the entire location lifecycle.

You will develop a comprehensive product strategy, related roadmap, and set key business objectives (OKRs) for your respective product, and ensure business alignment.  You will need to leverage the knowledge of your product, as well as customer feedback and establish other relevant data points to assess value, develop business cases, and prioritize the direction and desired outcomes. You will work in unison with Engineers, UX designers, Data Scientists / Data Engineering teams and business partners to deliver outcomes.

You will be the “voice of the product” to key stakeholders to ensure that their needs are met, and that the product team is getting the direction and support that it needs to be successful. You will develop and actively understand the market, maintain a product roadmap and backlog outlining the customer themes, epics, and stories while prioritizing the backlog to focus on the highest impact work for your team and stakeholders.

You will encourage the open exchange of information and viewpoints, as well as inspire others to achieve challenging goals and high standards of performance while committing to the organization's direction.
