What you'll do

Drive Delivery Execution

• Own delivery outcomes for technology initiatives across DC and Fulfillment domains,

partnering with engineering, architecture, and offshore delivery teams.

• Hold delivery partners accountable to business results, not just project completion, track

impact on operational KPIs like throughput, labor efficiency, and order accuracy.

• Manage and coordinate contractors and offshore delivery teams, ensuring alignment on

priorities, quality, and pace.

• Maintain and refine the established technology roadmap, sequencing initiatives to

maximize value and minimize operational disruption.

Build and Deepen Business Partnerships

• Develop trusted, working relationships with leaders in Distribution Center and Fulfillment

Center operations, as well as GTS engineering and architecture teams.

• Represent the portfolio in stakeholder meetings, planning sessions, and cross-functional

forums as the operational PM lead for these domains.

• Translate operational needs into technology requirements and translate technology

trade-offs back to business leaders in terms they can act on.

• Establish GTS product management as a valued, embedded partner in organizations

that are operationally fast-moving and results-oriented.

Evaluate and Advance Automation & AI

• Assess and prioritize automation and AI opportunities across warehouse management,

labor management, robotics, and fulfillment workflows.

• Work with Manhattan Associates platforms and warehouse automation systems to

identify integration, optimization, and modernization opportunities.

• Evaluate where emerging capabilities create genuine operational value and where

they're premature given the current technology foundation.

• Partner with Gap Inc's Office of AI and architecture teams on initiatives with automation

components.

Manage and Evolve the Technology Portfolio

• Maintain visibility across a dual-WMS environment, a legacy Retail WMS supporting

store replenishment and a Manhattan Associates WMS supporting online fulfillment,

along with LMS, robotics/automation platforms, and related systems.

• Support the path toward WMS consolidation: understand the current-state complexity,

manage technology decisions that don't create further lock-in, and lay the groundwork

for eventual platform replacement on the roadmap.

• Identify cross-domain opportunities where investments in DC or fulfillment technology

can create broader supply chain value.

• Build business cases for new investments, using data and operational context to

prioritize effectively.

Who you are

Execution-Oriented Delivery Leader

You thrive in environments with an established roadmap and a mandate to deliver. You know

how to hold delivery partners, internal teams, contractors, offshore, accountable to business

outcomes without micromanaging. You track the right metrics and escalate early when things

drift.

Business Relationship Builder

You've built GTS/IT partnerships with operational business organizations that run fast and

measure everything. You earn trust by understanding the business before proposing solutions.

You're comfortable in a DC or fulfillment environment where the language is throughput, labor

efficiency, and uptime, not product backlogs. You have strong communication skills and can

articulate technology trade-offs to both operational and executive audiences.

Enterprise Domain Depth

5 + years in enterprise product management or business analysis, with meaningful experience

in DC, fulfillment, or supply chain operations. You understand warehouse workflows well

enough to ask the right questions and challenge assumptions. Experience with agile product

development and large-scale enterprise platforms is required.

Offshore Delivery Experience

You've coordinated with offshore or nearshore delivery teams and know how to structure work,

manage handoffs, and maintain quality across time zones. You don't need to be in the same

room to keep delivery on track.

Automation & AI Fluency

You understand warehouse automation and robotics at a conceptual and practical level, enough

to evaluate vendor claims, challenge integration assumptions, and spot where AI or automation

creates real versus superficial value. You also use LLMs and AI tools as daily working

accelerators for analysis, communication, and synthesis.

Operational Tempo

Two active domains, concurrent delivery streams, active stakeholder management. You self-

prioritize, communicate trade-offs clearly, and stay effective without waiting for perfect clarity.

STRONGLY PREFERRED

• Direct experience in DC, fulfillment center, or supply chain operations technology.
• Retail or CPG industry background, ideally in a multi-site enterprise environment.
• Experience managing offshore or nearshore delivery models.
• Hands-on experience with Manhattan Associates WMS or comparable warehouse

management platforms (online/e-commerce fulfillment context preferred).

• Familiarity with legacy or on-premise Retail WMS environments and the complexity of

managing platform transitions or replacements.

• Familiarity with robotics or warehouse automation deployments (Boston Dynamics or

similar).

• Experience with Labor Management Systems (LMS) and workforce optimization

technology.
