- Connect strategic roadmap priorities to incremental delivery, maintaining transparency and stakeholder confidence in backlog decisions.
- Define and track metrics that demonstrate value from Data and AI-driven insights and capabilities once shipped.
- Serve as the primary bridge between technical teams (engineering, data science, architecture, testing) and business teams across your domains.
- Ground decisions in user needs, business impact and data — validating outcomes with evidence.
- Champion an organised, collaborative and Agile delivery culture within the team and across partners.
What success looks like:
- You are recognised as the domain authority for Supply Chain Data Products across Planning, Logistics and Quality — with a clear, well-socialised roadmap that stakeholders trust.
- You ship reliable, trusted and well-adopted Data and AI products that deliver measurable impact on supply chain performance.
- Senior stakeholders view you as a strategic partner who brings clarity, rigour and decisive recommendations.
