• Implement a naïve benchmark to quantify forecast performance and track improvements
• Develop and maintain a product roadmap linking data investments, model improvements, and operational outcomes
• Prioritize features, data pipelines, and model upgrades (e.g., capturing unconstrained demand, adjusting forecasts for promotional lift, improving cold start logic for new items, etc.)
• Ensure forecast logic aligns with customer assignment model, enabling accurate prediction of future demand
• Partner closely with analytics, marketing, and operations to deliver roadmap milestones and improve business KPIs
• Own the feature development lifecycle from ideation to testing and impact measurement
• Communicate forecast performance, operational results, and business implications clearly to stakeholders (including operations leadership)

Experience

• 4-7+ years in Product Management, Supply Chain, or Operations, with practical experience in forecasting & replenishment (food/perishables strongly preferred)
• Strong product skillset – ability to operate independently in a complex, technical domain
• Hands-on analytical capability and a deep inquisitive nature – you’re comfortable diving into datasets, understanding model behavior, and diagnosing issues
• Strong SQL and self-serve analytics skills, with the ability to build simple visualizations in tools like Looker
• Understanding of forecasting concepts, accuracy metrics, and how forecasts translate into ordering and procurement decisions
• Experience working with supply chain, forecasting, production planning, or replenishment systems is highly preferred
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills – able to bridge technical and non-technical teams and drive alignment

The Way You Work

• Think holistically about end-to-end operational outcomes – from forecast inputs to customer experience and financial impacts
• Bring structure to ambiguous, complex problems and simplify them into clear strategies
• Communicate crisply and inspire confidence across engineering, analytics, and business leaders
• Have a strong bias toward action, rapid learning, and continuous improvement
• Care deeply about building products that deliver real value – for users, customers, and the business
