Job DescriptionThe Senior Product Manager 2 is a key member of the Nordstrom Inventory Product Management team, responsible for establishing and executing the strategic capability roadmap for OmniTrace, Nordstrom's AI-powered inventory intelligence platform, delivering anomaly detection, lifecycle traceability, real-time inventory visibility, and AI-driven insights across the enterprise. This role plays a critical function in shifting inventory management from reactive reconciliation to proactive, AI-assisted prevention, improving operational efficiency, reducing shrink, accelerating issue resolution, and building the foundation for self-healing, autonomous anomaly resolution.
The Senior Product Manager 2 will define and own the OmniTrace product vision and multi-year roadmap, in partnership with executive leadership and cross-functional teams, and execute against it. To accomplish that, the product manager will plan the product roadmap and prioritize the applicable technology backlog, lead product discovery and prototyping, drive intake and use case definition across business domains, and measure and communicate results of the anomaly detection, traceability, and inventory visibility capabilities in production, all while ensuring stakeholder and strategic alignment across a highly cross-functional set of partners spanning Supply Chain, Store Operations, Merchandising Operations, Accounting, and Finance.
A day in the life...- Develop and own the strategic product vision and roadmap for OmniTrace's AI-powered anomaly detection, lifecycle traceability, and real-time inventory visibility capabilities

- Lead product discovery and rapid prototyping - driving aligned MVP scope, delivery estimates, and prioritized execution across anomaly detection and inventory visibility domains
- Own intake and use case definition, working with business partners to translate operational pain points into detection rules, decision trees, and recommended actions
- Define the roadmap toward self-healing, autonomous anomaly resolution - progressing use cases from detection, to AI-assisted recommendation, to human-in-the-loop automation, to guardrailed auto-resolution
- Partner with Supply Chain, Store Operations, Merchandising Operations, Accounting, and Finance to ground product requirements in operational and financial reality
- Support both front-end UI experiences and back-end system-to-system consumers, ensuring anomaly, stock on hand, movement, and lineage signals are equally usable by human operators and downstream automated workflows
- Build business cases with finance and business partners that quantify shrink reduction, resolution time (MTTR) improvement, and labor savings from automation
- Drive prioritization and alignment across cross-functional business and technology stakeholders, including engineering, data science, and operations
- Define product requirements, process flows, data schemas, and system integration specifications in alignment with north star architecture
- Define and measure KPIs for product features - detection accuracy, mean-time-to-resolution, automation/self-healing rate, search and dashboard adoption, and data freshness/latency - and support ongoing system health

- Execution: Proven ability to lead discovery and delivery across multiple business capability teams in parallel, drive to an aligned MVP, and manage a prioritized backlog spanning UI, search, and system-to-system consumers
- Analytical Skills: Ability to define, measure, and analyze processes and model performance to identify improvement opportunities and prioritize automation candidates
