Context
Our client, a major player in retail distribution, relies on a digital entity dedicated to supply chain. This entity designs and develops digital services covering the entire supply chain: automatic ordering at points of sale, supplier management, warehouse preparation, and transport. It relies heavily on data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
You will join the Forecasting & Optimization team, an existing team of 5 to 8 people composed of a tech lead, data analysts, a developer, and a QA.
The Mission
You will manage a portfolio of 7 digital products that leverage supply chain data. These products serve internal teams for managing their activities, as well as external partners such as suppliers and points of sale.
The products are at different stages: end of discovery, pilot, deployment, evolution, or maintenance. Some are mature, others were launched without a Product Manager. Your role will be to secure them: complete their formalization, make certain data sources reliable and sustainable, and maintain a clear line of priority in the face of numerous and varied stakeholders.
You will be expected to deliver on product performance, measurement of financial gains, and respect for the entity's good product practices.
