Senior Manager, Product Management – Inventory & Supply Chain (Hybrid - Seattle)

Job Description

Nordstrom’s Inventory and Supply Chain organization is seeking a Senior Manager of Product Management to lead the strategy, development, and execution of intelligent, data-driven capabilities that power how Nordstrom manages, governs, and optimizes inventory across its end-to-end network.

This role sits at the intersection of technology, operations, and business strategy, focusing on real-time visibility, data accuracy, and automated decisioning across supply chain and inventory systems. The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who can connect the dots between business priorities, data insights, and scalable technical solutions — driving measurable impact on efficiency, financial performance, and customer experience.

You’ll lead a team of talented Product Managers focused on building enterprise-level capabilities that improve how Nordstrom tracks, analyzes, and acts on its inventory — from vendor to customer.

A day in the life…

• Lead and develop a team of Product Managers responsible for the design, delivery, and optimization of enterprise-wide inventory health and control capabilities — including reconciliation, anomaly detection, and end-to-end visibility across Nordstrom’s supply chain network.
• Collaborate with peers and leaders across the enterprise — including Finance, Merchandising, Transportation, and Technology — to define product vision, align on priorities, and ensure outcomes support Nordstrom’s enterprise goals.
• Define and execute a multi-year roadmap for intelligent systems that enhance visibility, control, and accountability across the inventory lifecycle.
• Translate ambiguous business challenges into actionable product frameworks and measurable KPIs tied to accuracy, automation, and financial performance.
• Partner with Data Science and Engineering teams to design intelligent systems and data models that enable proactive monitoring, exception detection, and data-driven decision-making.
• Maintain a strong understanding of emerging technologies and apply them thoughtfully to improve efficiency, reliability, and customer benefit.
• Monitor and identify customer and operational needs, staying current on industry trends and translating them into product innovation and roadmap adjustments.
• Review operating practices and procedures, identifying opportunities for automation, process simplification, and performance improvement.
• Define and monitor key performance indicators for product performance, ensuring continuous improvement through data-driven insight.
• Hire, coach, and supervise an efficient and high-performing team, fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and collaboration.
• Champion the development of enterprise product standards, governance models, and best practices that scale across multiple domains.

You own this if you have…

• 8+ years of product management experience, including 4+ years leading and managing teams in technology, retail, or supply chain environments.
• Proven success delivering large-scale, data-driven or operational systems that improve accuracy, efficiency, or automation.
• Deep understanding of inventory, supply chain, or fulfillment systems, with the ability to translate operational complexity into scalable platform solutions.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, using data and metrics to drive decisions and measure success.
• Technical fluency — comfortable collaborating with Engineering and Data Science to shape solution design and performance standards.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills; able to simplify complexity and align executive stakeholders around a shared vision.
• Demonstrated ability to manage ambiguity, define frameworks, and lead teams through change.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field (MBA or advanced technical degree preferred).

Bonus if you…

• Have experience with intelligent automation, AI/ML-assisted decisioning, or data governance frameworks.
• Have built or led platform products connecting operational, financial, and analytical systems.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment where technology, process, and business priorities intersect — and where your work has visible enterprise impact.
