IT Product Manager II

About the role

Established in 1977, Outdoor Cap has been servicing the headwear industry for over 40 years. This role sits on the Product team within Information Technology and is accountable for the Product Design & Development domain.

Responsibilities

• Own the product roadmap, business outcomes, and prioritization for the Product Design & Development domain.
• Serve as the primary product partner for the design, product development, and sourcing teams — deeply understanding their workflows, surfacing opportunities, and translating needs into well-scoped product work.
• Partner with the engineering team, which owns system subject-matter expertise and implementation, to deliver against the domain roadmap.
• Define product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering can build against without ambiguity.
• Operate effectively at cross-domain seams — including capability co-tenancy with adjacent product owners on shared platforms, and producer/consumer relationships where product data originates in this domain and is consumed downstream.
• Drive prioritization decisions based on business impact, stakeholder need, and delivery feasibility, in collaboration with the Sr. Manager of Product.

Qualifications

• Strong product judgment — the ability to weigh stakeholder need, business impact, and delivery cost, and make defensible prioritization calls.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to present to all levels of the organization at the appropriate depth.
• Demonstrable business acumen and a track record of working effectively across business and technology audiences.
• Comfort operating within a partnership model where subject-matter expertise for systems lives with engineering — including the ability to write meaningful requirements and have credible technical conversations without owning platform internals.
• Working familiarity with agile delivery practices and the ability to operate effectively within a sprint cadence.
• Demonstrable efficiency using common applications within the Microsoft suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive).
• Strong initiative — the ability to research new problems, develop an approach, and move forward with limited directive.
• Demonstrable ability to deliver work on time and within scope; comfort holding the line on scope when needed.
• Highly adaptable to new processes, new stakeholders, and shifting priorities.
