As the channel scales, your function and team will scale with it. Main Responsibilities Roadmap Ownership: Own the product roadmap for the app and online platform, balancing customer value, commercial return, and operational fit. CX Design: Design and continuously improve the customer experience across ordering, click-and-collect, catalogue browsing, and account self-service (grain, fuel, and credit). Release Management: Manage the end-to-end release cycle by specifying features, prioritizing the backlog, and coordinating development partners and internal IT through to launch. Testing & QA: Plan and run functional QA, user acceptance testing, and A/B experiments to ensure quality releases and evidence-based design decisions. Drive Growth: Own and improve growth metrics, including adoption, active users, conversion, basket size, retention, and channel revenue against clear targets. Cross-Functional Integration: Work across Supply Chain, Finance, Credit, Marketing, and branch operations to integrate the platform with ERP and account systems for a seamless omni-channel experience. Vendor & Budget Management: Manage development partners, vendors, and budgets while building out the digital function as the channel grows. Minimum Requirements Education: Relevant degree (e.g., Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Marketing, or a related field). Experience: 3+ years in digital product, e-commerce, or app product management, with demonstrable ownership of a live platform. Product Lifecycle: A proven track record across the full product lifecycle (roadmap, UX/design input, build oversight, testing, and post-launch growth). Technical Savvy: Working knowledge of e-commerce platforms, analytics tools, agile delivery, and UX principles, with comfort briefing and managing technical partners. Mindset: Commercially minded, customer-obsessed, and a self-starter capable of translating data into decisions and building a function from the ground up. What will give you an edge (Advantageous): Experience in retail or agri-retail. Experience with account-based or credit-linked customer platforms. Exposure to ERP integration.
