Responsibilities

• Own the seasonal product calendar end-to-end — every milestone, stage gate, and operating cadence across the product lifecycle
• Define and enforce readiness criteria for Line Review, Investment Review, Buy, Market, and Launch
• Give leadership the confidence that the organization is truly ready to proceed at each stage
• Establish and maintain clear decision rights across the lifecycle — who decides what, when decisions are final, and how they are documented
• Prevent decisions from being revisited, overridden, or made by default rather than by design
• Act as the organizational conscience on decision finality and milestone adherence
• Own the accuracy and completeness of product data across PLM, ERP, and all downstream systems — planning, inventory, commerce, and finance
• Build the standards, checkpoints, and accountability structures to ensure clean data at every handoff
• Drive adoption, accuracy, and accountability across systems and teams
• Own the change control process post style-freeze to protect downstream teams from late disruption

• Proven ability to lead process and organizational change
• Experience building operational infrastructure from the ground up in a scaling business; you know how to sequence what gets built first so early wins create momentum for harder changes later
