__________________________________________________________
The Merchandising Capabilities team uses data science, technology, and AI to help Kroger merchants make better, faster decisions across pricing, promotions, assortment, and space optimization. Our portfolio spans multiple products, platforms, and cross-functional teams working together to deliver capabilities that shape how merchandising decisions are made across the enterprise.
As our teams increasingly leverage AI-enabled planning, documentation, and delivery practices, we have an opportunity to further elevate how we execute across the portfolio. We are looking for a leader who can strengthen delivery excellence across multiple teams while helping the organization translate strategic priorities into successful outcomes.
As Lead Agile Delivery, you will serve as both a delivery leader and a strategic execution partner for the Merchandising Capabilities portfolio.
You will support multiple cross-functional product, engineering, and data science teams while helping leadership drive alignment, execution, and organizational effectiveness across a complex portfolio of initiatives. This role is accountable for delivery excellence, enabling teams and leaders to execute with clarity, transparency, and focus.
While Product leaders define strategy, priorities, and outcomes, this role ensures the organization has the operating mechanisms, delivery discipline, visibility, and coordination required to successfully execute against those priorities.
Success in this role requires equal strength in Agile delivery leadership, cross-functional influence, strategic planning, and operational execution. You will operate comfortably at both the team and portfolio level, coaching product teams on empowered team practices that help them connect discovery, delivery, decisions, and measurement to meaningful outcomes while improving efficiency across how work gets planned and executed.
