Responsibilities
Own the product master data strategy and operating model; how data is created, validated, governed, and evolved across the product lifecycle and I2C stage gates.
Build and lead a centralized Product Data & Analytics team that assumes ownership of core product data inputs (transitioning routine data entry away from merchants) and ties those inputs explicitly to GTM stage‑gate requirements.
Establish a center of excellence (CoE) for seasonal product data and reporting processes, with clear decision rights, stewardship roles, and change control.
Elevate data integrity through audit mechanisms, lineage and taxonomy management, and well‑documented change management; including complex issue triage and root‑cause resolution.
Partner with Master Data, Product Management, and Technology to maintain a single source of truth across PLM/PIM/ERP and adjacent systems; recommend and prioritize systems upgrades or design changes where needed.
Develop and maintain reporting & BI tools for Product Creation and cross‑functional partners; create training, guidelines, and adoption plans for end users.
Deliver KPI reporting and analytics capabilities mapped to the I2C calendar; drive adoption of KPIs and BI tools across senior leadership and functional teams.
Monitor key seasonal deliverables for completeness and accuracy; anticipate risks and enable faster decisions with proactive insights.
Analyze data trends to surface actionable opportunities that improve product creation quality, speed, and commercial outcomes.
Integrate with enterprise reporting and business intelligence, promoting leading practices in information management, protection, and application.
Requirements
12+ years in data & analytics or product data domains within a global consumer or apparel business, including 6+ years leading teams; 8+ years working directly in product, product data, or product transformation.
Deep understanding of the product lifecycle and I2C/GTM rhythms, including stage‑gate design, calendar dependencies, and cross‑functional roles.
Proven ability to synthesize and interpret data, spot trends, draw conclusions, and develop clear recommendations.
Expertise in product master data (architecture, integrity, migration), governance, decision rights, and information access policies.
Knowledge of best‑practice merchandising hierarchies and the ability to translate and enforce them across cross‑functional teams.
Track record building reporting and analytics solutions, optimizing legacy systems, and establishing enterprise standards for data quality and usability.
Experience delivering and enhancing KPI reporting and analytics capabilities; driving adoption of BI tools along the I2C/GTM calendar.
You thrive in a fast‑growth, entrepreneurial environment; you inspire breakthrough thinking and build mechanisms that scale beyond any single season.
Exceptional influential leadership; you communicate a compelling vision, align teams around common objectives, and drive outcomes in a complex matrix.
