As the Product Owner, RGM & Sales Digital Transformation, you will play a central role in shaping and delivering the RGM Tech Strategy and Digital Roadmap. You will own the Assortment and Price Pack Architecture (PPA) product domain while ensuring it connects seamlessly with Pricing, Promotion, consumption and demand intelligence, and the broader Integrated RGM ecosystem. The role will translate business priorities into scalable digital products, data capabilities and AI-enabled decision support that drive sustainable category growth, not a narrow margin or market-share outcome. Working across business and technology, you will help enable our four-layer analytics strategy: a governed enterprise data foundation; specialized intelligence and agents; an Integrated RGM Orchestrator that evaluates trade-offs across RGM levers; and an always-on KHAI (Kraft Heinz Artificial Intelligence) experience that supports persona-specific missions and end-to-end enterprise decisions. You will define the product vision and roadmap, manage dependencies and strategic partnerships, ensure high-quality requirements and delivery, and remain accountable for adoption, business value and measurable category-growth outcomes.

• Translate user, customer and market needs into prioritized product capabilities, user stories, acceptance criteria and requirements, maintaining a delivery-ready backlog three to four sprints ahead
• Manage dependencies across RGM products, data foundations, agents and enterprise platforms, and build effective partnerships across business, technology, data science, design and external solution providers
• Lead product discovery, release planning, stakeholder alignment, weekly demonstrations and feedback loops to ensure the roadmap delivers value iteratively and at scale

• Integrate user research, usability testing and adoption insights into product decisions to create intuitive, trusted and customer-driven experiences
