Job description

Now Brewing - Technical Product Managers! #tobeapartner From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

As a Technical Product Manager, you'll identify business problems and opportunities, define success metrics, and translate needs into clear epics and user stories so engineering teams can design, build, release, and monitor solutions efficiently. You'll work in a highly collaborative environment and bring a passion for simple, engaging experiences.

As a Technical Product Manager, you will

• Define product value and direction by aligning business and technical objectives, setting clear priorities, and establishing product health/performance metrics and KPIs.
• Translate needs into buildable work by writing well-formed epics/user stories, defining acceptance criteria and non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, resilience, usability, accessibility, security, continuity), and clarifying tradeoffs, dependencies, and constraints.
• Drive delivery and outcomes through iterative Agile practices, partnering with design and engineering on sizing and planning, removing blockers, facilitating user review/acceptance, and measuring feature success post-launch to improve product health.

We'd love to hear from people with:

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience in a related field)
• 7+ years delivering complex products in a technology environment
• 5+ years using analytics/optimization tools to inform product planning and prioritization
• 5+ years partnering with design and engineering to deliver customer-facing features, including building roadmaps/backlogs and writing/refining user stories
• 7+ years of experience in Transportation Management products (preferably Oracle Transportation Management and Global Trade Management SaaS).
• 7+ years of experience in Oracle Products & Solutions (preferably Order Management & Warehouse Management).
• 3+ years of experience in domestic, international, freight audit & pay and Trade and Customs.
• 3+ years of experience in reporting tools like incorta, oracle analytics cloud and fusion transportation intelligence

Preferred qualifications

• 7+ years delivering complex products in a technology environment, including cross-team roadmaps and technically complex features
• Recent experience building for web and/or mobile, and ability to read/understand code (prior programming experience a plus)
• 5+ years of hands-on product planning: technical roadmaps, story outlines, acceptance criteria, and backlog refinement at scale
• Strong ability to influence without authority, communicate clearly, and stay organized while managing competing priorities; deep familiarity with Agile practices and tools
• Experience designing solutions/configuring planning platforms such as o9, SAP, Oracle, Anaplan or others and integrating them with ERP systems.
• Knowledge of APIs, data interfaces, ETL processes, and other integration mechanisms used to connect planning and operational systems.
• Familiarity with Databricks and experience supporting data pipelines and data validation activities.
• Ability to work closely with data engineering teams to define data requirements, validate data flows, and support initiatives.
• Experience with data mapping, data governance, interface validation, and integration testing activities.
