Manager, Enterprise Retail Capability

What You’ll Do

The Manager, Enterprise Retail Capability is primarily responsible for overseeing the end‑to‑end delivery of enterprise‑level retail capabilities that enable operational excellence and support strategic priorities. This role focuses on project leadership, execution, and coordination across business and technology teams to ensure capabilities are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to organizational needs.

The ideal candidate will lead prioritization efforts, facilitate decision‑making, manage risks and issues, and ensure smooth adoption across the organization.

Success in this role requires strong organizational leadership, exceptional communication, and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels while guiding complex initiatives from initiation through implementation.

• Collaborate with UX, Tech, and Data teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications.
• Coordinate with vendors (for SaaS) or internal teams (for in-house builds).

• Monitor product performance post-launch to gather feedback for continual improvement.
• Document enhancement requests and translate them into actionable backlog items.
• Track bug fixes, change requests, compliance updates ensuring timely resolution.
• Develop capability adoption roadmaps based on business readiness.
• Identify organizational, process, or data changes required for enablement.
• Track capability maturity across markets or functions.
• Provide regular updates to senior management on project status, risks, issues.
