Role Overview
The Principal Product Manager (PPM) for the Commercial Technical Innovation (CTI) stream leads the strategy and execution for rethinking how we manage key commercial processes: starting from assortment management through pricing up to promotions and negotiation. You will oversee a team of Product Engineers and work closely with leadership of commercial teams to bring innovations moving the commercial department and company to the next level and replace manual workflows with intelligent, AI-powered solutions.

Drive scalable rollouts across multiple countries and commercial teams
Coordinate with Engineering and Business stakeholders to ensure impactful delivery
4. Data-Driven Decision Making

Lead pilots and A/B tests, validate hypotheses, and rapidly iterate toward excellence
5. Stakeholder & Change Management
Act as the voice of the Commercial stream towards product colleagues, tech and other departments
Coordinate change management including documentation, enablement, and rollout
Ensure all countries and platforms users benefit from a unified and intuitive experience
