Purpose of Role

The Principal, Technical Product Management is accountable for the strategy, roadmap, and end-to-end value realization of a Product Creation and Merchandising value stream.

Working across business leaders, Global Process Owners, Engineering, Architecture, Data, and AI teams, the Principal Technical Product Manager leads through influence to align investment and delivery decisions from discovery and rapid experimentation through production, adoption, and scale. The role focuses technology investment on the highest-value opportunities and delivers scalable products that improve line planning, assortment decisions, and go-to-market readiness with measurable business outcomes.
