Insight Global's client is looking to hire a Product Manager to join their team to focus on their internal tools used for Space Planning of their retail stores. For some background, they have hundreds of space planners and their jobs are to plan out where retail items are being placed and displayed in the stores. There is both Macro planning (birdseye view) and Micro (which is the street view of google maps for example). This person will be working on the internal tools that these teams use in order to accomplish space planning. There is an existing tool that they use where this Product Manager will be doing enhancements and then there is also a 3rd party tool that is being built for these Space Planners to log into and do their jobs better and more efficiently. This person will be both managing the enhancements of the existing tool and how they can fix issues and helping with the new tool that is being built, asking the right questions etc.

On a day to day basis, this person will be managing and executing on the backlog. There are a lot of internal stakeholders, so stakeholder management skills are very important. There are also a lot of downstream dependencies on these tools and understanding how a change can open a can of worms within pricing, data team, etc. Someone who can anticipate these changes. This role will have a lot of ambiguity, so being independent and able to tackle issues.
