Job Description

ComResource is looking for a Product Manager, Commerce.

Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate and Reconcile System Capabilities
    • Deeply evaluate how ERP, OMS, and eCommerce platforms behave out of the box, including default configurations, standard workflows, and platform constraints.
    • Conduct structured gap analysis between out-of-the-box system capabilities and the current eCommerce state, identifying what can be adopted as-is, what requires adaptation, and what represents a true gap requiring custom development or process change.
    • Document findings in clear, business-readable formats that allow stakeholders to make informed decisions without needing deep technical backgrounds.
    • Serve as the authority on what good looks like for commerce technology configuration, informed by both industry best practices and organization-specific requirements.
  • Define and Drive Business and Technical Requirements
    • Partner with business stakeholders across eCommerce, Trade, Store Operations, and Finance to elicit, validate, and prioritize requirements.
    • Translate business needs into well-structured business requirements documents (BRDs) that serve as reliable input for technical requirements and SI delivery teams.
    • Own the requirements backlog for commerce technology workstreams, maintaining prioritization, managing change, and ensuring traceability from business need to delivered capability.
    • Apply product ownership discipline to backlog management, including writing clear acceptance criteria, facilitating trade-off conversations, and making sequencing decisions that maximize value delivery.
  • Support SI Partners Across Transformation Programs
    • Act as the primary product and requirements counterpart for SI partners on commerce technology workstreams, ensuring they have what they need to build correctly.
    • Review SI-proposed solutions and configurations against requirements, flagging deviations and driving resolution before they become delivery issues.
    • Maintain active engagement across transformation programs, connecting the dots on decisions that affect shared commerce capabilities.
    • Represent the eCommerce perspective in cross-program forums, ensuring that decisions made on ERP and OMS programs do not inadvertently constrain or compromise the digital commerce experience.
  • Lead Commerce Product Strategy and Roadmap Thinking
    • Develop and maintain a clear view of the commerce technology landscape, including current state, near-term delivery commitments, and longer-term evolution.
    • Bring a product management mindset to roadmap planning by identifying capability gaps, sequencing initiatives logically, and building a case for investment based on business impact.
    • Serve as a strategic thought partner to business and IT leadership on how commerce technology can enable growth across eCommerce, Trade, B2B, and omnichannel selling.
    • Help build internal commerce technology competency by establishing practices, templates, and ways of working that extend beyond any single project.
  • Build Trust with Business Stakeholders
    • Operate as a trusted, proactive partner for business teams, taking the time to understand commercial realities and translating them into technology decisions.
    • Create and maintain feedback loops that keep business stakeholders informed, engaged, and appropriately involved in technology decisions that affect their domains.
    • Navigate ambiguity and competing priorities with transparency, bringing structure and clarity.

Essentials:

  • 8+ years of experience spanning product management, product ownership, and/or business analysis in a commerce technology context.
  • Demonstrated experience evaluating enterprise commerce platforms, including how out-of-the-box capabilities map to real business requirements in a retail, direct-to-consumer, or omnichannel environment.
  • Experience working alongside SI partners on large-scale ERP, OMS, or eCommerce platform implementations with direct accountability for requirements and product decisions.
  • Proven track record writing high-quality BRDs and user stories that are clear, complete, and usable by both business and technical teams.
  • Familiarity with order management, product catalog management, pricing and promotions, and customer experience workflows in a retail commerce context.
  • Fluent in both business and technology language with the ability to move between executive conversations and detailed functional specifications.
  • Strong analytical instincts, including comfort with gap analyses, structured trade-off recommendations, and decision documentation.
  • Naturally collaborative with the credibility and communication skills to become a trusted partner for business stakeholders.
  • Comfortable operating across multiple programs simultaneously with the organization and judgment to keep multiple workstreams moving.
