About the Role
The Senior Product Manager 2 is responsible for establishing and executing the strategic capability roadmap for OmniTrace, Nordstrom's AI-powered inventory intelligence platform. This role focuses on delivering anomaly detection, lifecycle traceability, and real-time inventory visibility, shifting inventory management from reactive to proactive and AI-assisted prevention.
Responsibilities
- Develop and own the strategic product vision and roadmap for OmniTrace's AI-powered anomaly detection, lifecycle traceability, and real-time inventory visibility capabilities
- Own the enterprise dashboard UI experience, giving business and operations teams a single, real-time view into enterprise inventory stock on hand, movement, and transaction lineage search
- Lead product discovery and rapid prototyping — driving aligned MVP scope, delivery estimates, and prioritized execution across anomaly detection and inventory visibility domains
- Own intake and use case definition, working with business partners to translate operational pain points into detection rules, decision trees, and recommended actions
- Define the roadmap toward self-healing, autonomous anomaly resolution — progressing use cases from detection, to AI-assisted recommendation, to human-in-the-loop automation, to guardrailed auto-resolution
- Partner with Supply Chain, Store Operations, Merchandising Operations, Accounting, and Finance to ground product requirements in operational and financial reality
- Support both front-end UI experiences and back-end system-to-system consumers, ensuring anomaly, stock on hand, movement, and lineage signals are equally usable by human operators and downstream automated workflows
- Build business cases with finance and business partners that quantify shrink reduction, resolution time (MTTR) improvement, and labor savings from automation
- Drive prioritization and alignment across cross-functional business and technology stakeholders, including engineering, data science, and operations
- Define product requirements, process flows, data schemas, and system integration specifications in alignment with north star architecture
- Define and measure KPIs for product features — detection accuracy, mean-time-to-resolution, automation/self-healing rate, search and dashboard adoption, and data freshness/latency — and support ongoing system health
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years' experience in product management, technology, or operations
- Strong understanding of inventory management systems and AI/ML-driven anomaly detection concepts, including how detection models, confidence scoring, and automated recommendations are built and evaluated
- Ability to set a compelling product vision and multi-year roadmap toward autonomous, self-healing operations, and to thrive in ambiguity where requirements, ownership, and scope are still forming
- Proven ability to lead discovery and delivery across multiple business capability teams in parallel, drive to an aligned MVP, and manage a prioritized backlog spanning UI, search, and system-to-system consumers
- Ability to define, measure, and analyze processes and model performance to identify improvement opportunities and prioritize automation candidates
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to build cross-functional relationships and drive alignment across Supply Chain, Store Operations, Merchandising Operations, Accounting, Finance, and engineering — up to executive leadership
