(USA) Senior Manager, Technical Program Management - Supply Chain Solutions
About the role
Be the first call for traceability/origin needs
Act as the primary point of contact for teams that need traceability, origin, or location signals to support operations, compliance, trade, or reporting.
Help stakeholders refine problem statements and use cases into structured requirements that can be implemented and scaled.
Own the strategy for “provenance” signals and how they show up in item data
Define how traceability, origin, and location should be represented (what it means, where it applies, how it changes over time, and how it’s joined to item identity)
Drive decisions on boundaries: what belongs as a core fact vs what should remain an event-level signal vs when to decide between signals.
Shape reusable patterns that multiple programs can plug into
Establish repeatable onboarding patterns and common definitions so teams can adopt shared provenance capabilities without reinventing them.
Partner with Product and Engineering to evolve the underlying services and data models that support consistent consumption across tools and workflows.
Drive measurable progress and adoption
Define success metrics and track progress in a way that stands up in leadership reviews (coverage, data quality, adoption in key workflows, reduced manual reconciliation)
Identify where fragmentation or conflicting sources are creating operational friction and drive alignment toward a consistent approach.
Influence how the enterprise builds with these signals
Collaborate with other Catalog Intelligent Solutions leaders on how provenance capabilities fit into the broader platform landscape.
Help shape enterprise patterns for how upstream and downstream signals are collected, validated, and used in decision workflows—balancing speed with defensibility.
