  4. You will make the appropriate trade-offs to select the right inventory allocation systems, balancing engineering feasibility with financial constraints to ensure sustainable and scalable solutions.
  5. You will bring a strong technical product management background, with experience in scalable inventory and reverse operations systems.
  6. You will thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, overcoming ambiguity and balancing competing priorities.
  7. As a Principal PMT, you will anticipate bottlenecks, manage escalations, make trade-offs, and balance the needs of the business with technical constraints.
  8. The ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable components, develop functional specifications, and deliver them on time is crucial.
  9. Success in this role requires maturity, sound judgment, negotiation skills, analytical capabilities, and leadership.
A day in the life

You'll engage with customers and regional leaders across continents to define requirements, balancing global fulfillment needs with regional nuances. Coordinating with external technical teams is key, as you develop and execute a comprehensive plan to meet technical deliverables on time. Your role is a blend of technical oversight and cross-functional collaboration, ensuring that each aspect of the global fulfillment strategy is ready for launch and optimized for success.
