About the Role
The Sr. Director - Product Management (Discover) is a strategic leader responsible for shaping how customers explore and find products through intuitive, AI-enhanced navigation, search, and personalization that seamlessly connect digital and in-store discovery experiences. This leader drives innovation and execution across omnichannel touch points, owning sub-areas in Wayfinding and Search, while ensuring experiences are intelligent, adaptive, and context aware.
The role leverages Generative AI and data intelligence to dynamically refine search relevance, inspire product discovery, and craft shopping journeys that increase engagement and conversion.

Additionally, this role advances the App strategy by using Generative AI to make the app a smart discovery hub — guiding both customers and associates through conversational search, adaptive recommendations, and personalized content experiences that bridge store and online interactions.

- App Experience Leadership: Advance the App as a core discovery hub by integrating AI-powered navigation, conversational search, adaptive recommendations, and personalized content for both customers and store associates; drive mobile-led discovery experiences that seamlessly integrate with in-store technology.
- Foster Cross-Functional Influence and Team Development: Build and lead a high-performing team of up to 8-12, demonstrating Influence & Leadership by collaborating with stakeholders to resolve dependencies, escalate risks, and align on omnichannel priorities; mentor reports to exhibit behaviors at their levels, focusing on observable outcomes like adoption metrics and continuous feedback loops.
- Drive Data-Driven Outcomes and Innovation: Analyze performance against KPIs to iterate on features, ensuring omnichannel coherence (i.e., in-store search syncing with digital navigation); champion experimentation, A/B testing, and AI-driven experimentation to innovate while optimizing business results.
