About the Role:

The Associate App & Retail AI team at ACI is building the internal associate-facing application used by 200,000+ employees across 2,300+ stores. The app is a critical operational tool covering scheduling, time-off management, benefits, and an AI-powered onboarding chatbot — available across both mobile and iPad. We are looking for a Senior Digital Product Manager to build product strategy and execution for this platform from our Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bangalore, working in close partnership with US-based product, engineering, UX, and business leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

Product Strategy & Ownership:

• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle — from discovery and strategy through delivery and continuous iteration.
• Define and evolve product vision, strategy, and roadmap aligned with business goals and operational needs.
• Identify high-impact opportunities through user insights, data analysis, and stakeholder inputs.
• Balance short-term delivery with long-term platform scalability and innovation.

AI & Data-Driven Product Development:

• Define and drive AI-powered product capabilities, including conversational AI, automation, and intelligent recommendations.
• Partner with Data Science and ML teams to translate models into usable, valuable product experiences.
• Ensure AI features are user-centric, measurable, and aligned with responsible AI principles (transparency, trust, feedback loops).
• Leverage product analytics, experimentation (A/B testing), and behavioral data to inform decisions and optimize outcomes.
• Stay current with emerging AI trends, tools, and product patterns to continuously evolve the roadmap.

Execution & Delivery:

• Lead feature prioritization across scheduling, time-off, benefits, and AI-driven experiences.
• Write clear product requirements, PRDs, and user stories with well-defined acceptance criteria.
• Own backlog management, sprint planning, and prioritization in Agile environments.
• Partner closely with Engineering and Design to ensure high-quality execution and timely delivery.

User-Centered Product Development:

• Collaborate with UX researchers and designers to deeply understand associate workflows and pain points.
• Advocate for user-centric solutions, especially for frontline retail employees with diverse digital literacy levels.
• Ensure usability, accessibility, and simplicity remain core to all product decisions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with Workforce Management (WFM), Retail Operations, Supply Chain, and HR stakeholders.
• Align cross-functional teams around priorities, tradeoffs, and outcomes.
• Act as the central point of coordination across business, design, engineering, and data teams.

Metrics, Insights & Impact:

• Define success metrics (KPIs, OKRs) and track product performance post-launch.
• Use dashboards, analytics tools, and user feedback to drive continuous improvement.
• Communicate progress, insights, and tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders and leadership.

Leadership & Communication:

• Present product strategy, roadmap, and business impact to senior leadership and executives.
• Drive alignment across global teams (GCC and US-based stakeholders).
• Mentor junior product managers and contribute to building a strong product culture.

Risk Management & Operational Excellence:

• Identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks early; proactively drive resolution.
• Ensure product decisions consider scalability, reliability, and operational constraints in retail environments.

Experience Required:

• 8–10 years of product management experience, with demonstrable ownership of mobile or enterprise application products.
• Proven track record of end-to-end Agile product delivery — from discovery through launch and iteration.
• Experience working across distributed, cross-functional teams including engineering, UX, data, and business stakeholders.
• Familiarity with Retail, Supply Chain, or Workforce Management domains is strongly preferred.
• Exposure to AI/ML product features, chatbot flows, or conversational AI integrations is a plus.
• Strong executive communication skills — ability to present clearly to senior leadership and influence decisions at all levels.
