Role Overview

As the Product Manager for Distribution, you are the "Full-Stack" owner of the value stream connecting our suppliers to our customers. You will move beyond tactical ticket-writing to drive the "Why" and "What" for both customer sales and supplier purchasing capabilities. This role is part of our Functional Product Stream, focused on solving pervasive market problems to drive adoption and revenue.

Core Responsibilities

Your work is structured around the Product Management Lifecycle (PMLC), focusing on outcome-based decision gates rather than feature output.

1. Discovery & Strategy (The "Why")

• Market Sensing: Conduct biweekly customer and supplier interactions to validate that identified problems are urgent and pervasive.

• Problem Validation: Use data from Win/Loss reports and Customer Advisory Boards (CAB) to build evidence-based business cases.

• Opportunity Canvasing: Define the market driver, competitive landscape, and economic impact (ROI) for new distribution initiatives.
