Description
Description
Background
The Commercial Product team sit within the International Retail Global CoE with a core purpose to champion retailer needs into the wider business in order to drive an improved value proposition to market through retail first positioning and product.
As an experienced commercial professional, the Retail Strategic Portfolio Development Manager is the key interface between the Retail division and our Commercial and Tech & Product Management functions; supporting the definition of future Retail products, ensuring retailer needs are constantly represented and considered in technology ecosystem planning and development, and that the Retail vertical benefits from a fair share of support resource and focus.
The role holder will focus on the now but also have a keen eye on the future, and direct how we get ahead of the curve as a retail vertical in evolving our offer, owning a programme of activity that will allow us to close the gaps in the portfolio, be on the front foot in our direction and drive innovation in our offer – taking resources we have in house and building from them, testing new ideas with clients, defining the growth investments of the future and also having that eye on the market to understand and give options on how we may close gaps in our offer (Build, Buy, Partner).
While the role is predominantly internal, client awareness and centricity is hugely important. A strong understanding of the retail sector and our role within it, with a 'retailer first' mindset of how data is used, is critical to succeed. Direct client and partner contact will be key for authenticity, maintaining and using internal and external feedback loops for validation of thinking against end user needs as needed, but ultimately taking the call on how we deliver value.
As a cross-functional global role in a global company, they will work across a wide variety of teams, cultures, and legacy positions. Prioritising the wide array of competing needs with be critical - variances based on legacy, country, region, culture, language and more must be understood and addressed, but assumptions based on local experiences may be challenged; not all requirements are equal, and the status-quo can and should be tested. .
The role holder balances the needs of both the client and business in the short term with the needs of the future, and is able to clearly communicate a plan of action to strike this balance.
