senior technical product manager, Supply Chain Planning (Seattle, WA)

Now Brewing – Sr. Technical Product Manager! #tobeapartner

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

As a Technical Product Manager, you’ll identify business problems and opportunities, define success metrics, and translate needs into clear epics and user stories so engineering teams can design, build, release, and monitor solutions efficiently. You’ll work in a highly collaborative environment and bring a passion for simple, engaging experiences.

You will help build the next generation of Starbucks’ integrated planning capabilities, bringing together supply chain planning, data, analytics, optimization, and enterprise technology into a cohesive product ecosystem. This role requires both deep planning-domain expertise and the technical fluency to partner with engineering teams building differentiated capabilities in-house, while integrating effectively with commercial and enterprise platforms where appropriate.

As a Technical Product Manager, you will…

• Define product value and direction by aligning business and technical objectives, setting clear priorities, and establishing product

  health/performance metrics and KPIs.

• Translate needs into buildable work by writing well-formed epics/user stories, defining acceptance criteria and non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, resilience, usability, accessibility, security, continuity), and clarifying tradeoffs, dependencies, and constraints.
• Drive delivery and outcomes through iterative Agile practices, partnering with design and engineering on sizing and planning, removing blockers, facilitating user review/acceptance, and measuring feature success post-launch to improve product health.
