The Senior Product Manager, KFC.com is accountable for the vision, strategy, and measurable outcomes of kfc.com as a critical owned digital channel. This role leads an empowered cross functional product squad to discover, deliver, and continuously improve web experiences that drive acquisition, discovery, and conversion-while reinforcing the mobile app as the primary owned ordering experience. Optimize web for its distinct role in the ecosystem - balancing direct conversion with intentional app migration where it improves lifetime value.

The successful candidate is not a requirements writer or backlog administrator. They are a product leader who brings together customer insight, data, design, and engineering to solve high leverage problems and deliver compounding impact-building solutions that are valuable, usable, feasible, and viable.

KFC.com plays a distinct role in the owned ecosystem and the Sr. Product Manager must excel at:

  • Discovery & acquisition (SEO/SEM landing experiences, menu discovery, brand and product storytelling)
  • Conversion and ordering (fast, frictionless ordering flows where relevant; seamless handoff to app when optimal)
  • Account & loyalty access (sign in, enrollment, benefits visibility, cross channel continuity)
  • Resilience & trust (reliable experiences, clear messaging during outages/issues, accessibility, performance)
  • Platform alignment (identity, menu/pricing/availability, offers/loyalty, payments, analytics)

Required Qualifications

  • 6-10+ years of product management experience, including ownership of customer facing web experiences at meaningful scale.
  • Demonstrated success leading cross functional teams to deliver measurable outcomes (conversion, acquisition, retention, or experience quality), not just shipping features.
  • Strong product judgment across discovery, delivery, and go to market, with evidence of data driven prioritization and clear trade off decisions.
  • Proven ability to run discovery: translating insights into hypotheses, validating with research/experiments, and building an outcome oriented roadmap.
  • Deep comfort with analytics: funnel analysis, instrumentation, experimentation, and post launch measurement.
  • Ability to simplify and focus-consistently delivering high value with controlled complexity.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills; can influence stakeholders across marketing, ops, engineering, and leadership.
  • Enough technical fluency to understand feasibility and trade offs (web performance, APIs, SEO implications, experimentation tooling).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in QSR, retail, e commerce, or other high volume consumer environments with real world operational constraints.
  • Experience with SEO, site performance optimization, accessibility, and conversion rate optimization at scale.
  • Familiarity with modern product management principles and operating models (empowered teams, continuous discovery).

Salary Range: $148,900 - $186,500 + eligible bonus + comprehensive benefits

  • Define and own a clear web product vision and strategy aligned to company goals and guest needs.
  • Establish outcome based objectives (OKRs) for the web experience (e.g., acquisition, conversion, speed, accessibility, funnel completion) and ensure priorities reflect the highest customer and business value.
  • Translate strategy into an evidence based roadmap that balances quick wins with foundational investments (performance, reliability, SEO, instrumentation).
  • Partner with engineering, design, analytics, and marketing to deliver SEO‑strong site enhancements, scalable experimentation frameworks, and highly optimized merchandising experiences.
  • Develop end-to-end plans for features, detailing the hypothesis, timeline for testing and implementation, and results to report out to the product and executive teams.
  • Partner tightly with engineering and design to solve problems and deliver outcomes-not just ship features.
  • Drive shared accountability across the squad through clear goals, rapid learning, and high integrity commitments.
  • Create space for teams to innovate, while maintaining disciplined prioritization and measurable impact.
  • Drive continuous discovery using customer research, analytics, prototypes, and experiments to validate ideas before scaling solutions.
  • Identify and mitigate key risks early (value, usability, feasibility, viability) through iterative learning.
  • Engage regularly with customer insights and behavioral data to understand friction points and opportunities in the web funnel.
  • Define success metrics and measurement plans before build begins; ensure analytics and event instrumentation are treated as P0 requirements.
  • Forecast impact using benchmarks, prior results, and funnel analysis; measure post launch outcomes and adapt priorities based on results.
  • Maintain a clear, transparent view of performance (conversion, drop offs, latency, SEO health, and experience quality signals).
  • Ruthlessly prioritize to maximize impact-sequencing initiatives to deliver compounding value while limiting complexity and churn.
  • Consistently simplify solutions to capture the majority of value with minimal implementation effort, without sacrificing quality or trust.
  • Own delivery end to end: discovery definition build QA release adoption iteration.
  • Ensure releases meet high standards for performance, reliability, accessibility, and usability.
  • Collaborate with engineering on pragmatic technical trade offs that improve speed to value while preserving platform integrity.
  • Partner with Marketing, Brand, Ops, Legal, and Customer Care to ensure experiences are compliant, consistent, and operationally viable.
  • Coordinate with platform and mobile product partners (identity, offers, loyalty, menu/pricing, payments) to ensure end to end coherence across channels.
