As a Product Manager, you will be responsible for defining and delivering capabilities across FMSA integration layer and Trustwell platform. As works toward the July 2028 compliance date for the FSMA Section 204 Food Traceability Rule, this role will translate complex business, operational, traceability, compliance, and technology needs into clear product requirements that enable reliable data exchange, efficient workflows, and effective application use across the ecosystem. You will own the product requirements and user stories for integrations from upstream and downstream systems into the middleware layer, as well as integrations between the middleware layer and the Trustwell platform. A key focus of this role is understanding how data is created, structured, transformed, validated, governed, and consumed across disparate systems, and translating that complexity into clear, actionable requirements. In addition, you will lead requirements for Trustwell application configuration, reporting, workflows, user roles, and permissions to ensure the platform supports business needs and delivers a consistent user experience. The ideal candidate combines strong product management fundamentals with platform thinking, meaningful integration experience, and the ability to understand complex data relationships across disparate enterprise systems. This person will provide stakeholder leadership and operate effectively across Engineering, Demand Chain, Merchandising, Trustwell users, and other business partners. About the Team: The Digital Product Management – Demand Chain & Logistics team is responsible for building and evolving the digital capabilities that support planning, execution, visibility, and optimization across demand chain and logistics ecosystem.

Translate FSMA Section 204 requirements and stakeholder needs into a clear delivery plan, prioritized backlog, measurable milestones, and actionable product requirements. Define and track product success metrics, adoption measures, data quality indicators, traceability-readiness measures, and operational KPIs. Develop data-backed business cases and recommendations for new capabilities, enhancements, and technical investments. Integration Layer & Middleware Requirements: Own the user stories and detailed product requirements for integrations from connected enterprise systems into the FMSA middleware layer. Define requirements for integrations between the middleware layer and the Trustwell platform, including data movement, business rules, validation, exception handling, and downstream impacts. Define requirements to capture, transform, validate, and transmit traceability-related data needed to support FSMA Section 204 readiness. Analyze end-to-end data flows across disparate systems and identify gaps in data definitions, formats, timing, ownership, quality, and availability. Define source-to-target mappings, field-level transformations, business rules, data validation, error handling, and reconciliation requirements. Partner with Engineering and architecture teams to ensure integration requirements are clear, complete, scalable, and aligned with technical standards. Document source and target systems, data requirements, integration behaviors, dependencies, and acceptance criteria. Coordinate across product teams to manage cross-system impacts, sequencing, and dependencies. Help identify and resolve data quality, integration, and process issues that affect business operations and user experience. Product Delivery & Agile Execution: Own product outcomes, requirements, prioritization, and stakeholder alignment in partnership with Engineering, architecture, UX, QA, and business stakeholders. Write, refine, and prioritize epics, features, user stories, requirements, process flows, and acceptance criteria. Participate in backlog refinement, sprint planning, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and release planning. Ensure every feature and user story is connected to a defined business outcome, user need, or product KPI. Identify and clear blockers, manage risks, and maintain delivery momentum across complex cross-functional initiatives.
