About the Role

Cox Automotive's Inventory Management Core (IMC) team builds the go-to-market products at the heart of vAuto — Provision and ProfitTime — that dealers rely on to manage, price, and merchandise their used vehicle inventory. These are the flagship inventory management solutions in the vAuto portfolio, and the decisions you make directly shape how thousands of dealers run their business every day. We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to own a portfolio of capabilities across Provision and ProfitTime from problem discovery through adoption. This role is centered on evolving our core solutions, connecting workflows across the Cox Automotive ecosystem, and driving efficiency in how dealers price vehicles using our best-in-class market data. You will define what to build and why, drive alignment across product, engineering, architecture, and UX, and ensure that what ships gets adopted by the dealers it's built for. This role is ideal for a product leader who thrives in an outcome-driven, spec-based environment, operates independently, and brings strong execution discipline along with practical experience applying AI to product development.

Responsibilities

Lead discovery for your product area across Provision and ProfitTime.
Identify and validate problems through dealer partners, performance managers, Sales, Support, and internal stakeholders.
Define personas, map pricing and merchandising workflows, build hypotheses, and test them.
Use data, customer evidence, and competitive context to build a defensible point of view on what to build.
Define and maintain a forward-looking product roadmap in partnership with product leadership.
Own Epics and Features end-to-end, including PI Planning input and backlog prioritization.
Keep AIT teams supplied with well-understood, sequenced work.
Author Discovery Specs and co-author Delivery Specs with Engineering and Design.
Define the who, why, and what, with measurable acceptance criteria and clear scope boundaries.
Maintain a product context repository as the durable record of your value stream.
Look beyond single-product features to how Provision and ProfitTime connect to the broader Cox Automotive ecosystem and to each other.
Identify opportunities to remove friction across the dealer's appraisal-to-pricing-to-merchandising lifecycle and to deliver differentiated capabilities that deepen dealer value.
Use AI tools daily for discovery synthesis, spec drafting, prototype generation, and context management.
Write prompts as a core skill.
Build or adapt custom skills for product workflows.
Bring curiosity about designing AI-powered dealer capabilities.
Anchor recommendations in data from sources like Amplitude, Tableau, and Snowflake.
Understand what the data represents and use it to inform your point of view.
Monitor product performance post-launch, identify optimization opportunities, and drive continuous improvement against defined KPIs.
Own a time horizon that extends beyond deployment.
Define what complete adoption looks like, build rollout plans with performance managers and support teams, and coordinate with Sales, Marketing, and training on launch readiness.
Track outcomes against measurable criteria.
Serve as a senior liaison across product, engineering, operations, and business leadership.
Represent customer and dealer priorities to influence product and technology decisions.
Surface status, risks, and wins without being asked.
