Overview:

As the Group Product Manager of the Search & Discovery team in our eCommerce portfolio, you will drive the overall vision, product strategy, roadmap and execution of a more thoughtful and engaging experience for searching, finding and learning about the products Athletes seek. From the journey of Athletes, with varying experience-levels and preferences, and our breadth of categories and sports we serve, the eCommerce product experience is where DICK’S Sporting Goods can bring trusted expertise and inspired storytelling to life online. 

In this highly visible role, you will lead the Search & Discovery group, comprised of several teams, including our core search, browse, product selection, reviews and merchandising capabilities and experiences. You will collaborate with teams representing the complete eCommerce journey online and in-app. Additionally, you will partner with teams from our Marketing, Merchandising and Loyalty domains within DICK'S Sporting Goods Tech, not to mention an integrated relationship with teams leading Personalization and our eCommerce business. 

A successful candidate will lead with vision, with deep understanding of the retail consumer landscape and eCommerce capabilities, be a self-starter, and demonstrate breadth while overseeing an end-to-end platform and experience. If this sounds like you, your next role may be at DICK'S Sporting Goods Tech, delivering technology and experiences as a trusted outfitter for Athletes on any journey. 

 

As a Group Product Manager, you provide direct oversight in the organization and delivery of high-quality products while balancing people management and opportunities for development. Your influence and expertise enable you to promote the value of the product model as you continue to build partnerships in support of the products you manage. Focus areas may include: 

  • Strategy & Communication - How you understand and plan within a product team that solves customer problems and drives market impact: Lead a team of product managers within a portfolio. You will be accountable for organizing and communicating a cohesive strategy with the business and your technology peers across those products. You will provide a macro view of priorities as well as executive-friendly updates on team successes, value delivered, and lessons learned. 

  • Investment, Prioritization, Planning & Development - You are an enabler to your product teams to deliver against their planned roadmaps and set of outcomes aligned back to the portfolio goals. You will work with teammates and peers to assess capacity to meet commitments on a regular basis to drive alignment ensuring your teammates are clear on organizational priorities and investments. 

  • Leadership & People Management - How you expand your influence through strategy, decision-making, coaching, and management: You may manage up to six product managers and or analysts working across multiple product domains within a given portfolio. You must develop a deep understanding of cross-product domains and support the overall strategy of the portfolio including enlisting and enabling stakeholders. As a Leader of People, you will support ongoing career development and growth opportunities for your team of product managers.

  • Feedback - How you support and provide oversight to the design and delivery of solutions to our customers: As a product leader, it is essential to provide the appropriate forums to seek feedback and understanding amongst your teams, stakeholders and leadership in order to aggregate and activate this feedback in meaningful ways. When conflict arises, it is critical to resolve quickly to minimize churn. It is necessary to know how to execute on the key services and deliverables when necessary; however, your primary focus in this space is to support and enable your teammates to complete their day-to-day activities.
