• Change Management: Lead the enterprise-wide change management effort for centralizing Pre-Development and 3D Digital adoption, including coordinating testing, training, and roll out plans.
• System Lifecycle & Evolution: Provide post-implementation support by triaging issues and managing release cycles to ensure long-term platform performance and continuous improvement.
• Thought Leadership: Serve as the subject matter expert for Pre-Development and Digital 3D capabilities - monitoring emerging technology trends, partnering with teams to continuously refine business processes, and driving measurable reductions in the development calendar.
• Future Scaling & Vision: Build organizational capability to scale CLO for future ownership of additional PLM functionality, including Bill of Materials, Costing, and integration with Agentic AI models.
• AI & Advanced Analytics: Proactively explore and champion advanced technologies - including AI and automation - across the full product lifecycle. Identify opportunities to streamline processes and improve decision quality through intelligent requirements gathering, predictive insights, and AI-driven post-go-live optimization.

• 5+ years specifically focused on retail technology, with deep expertise in Product Development, PLM, 3D Development, and Digital Fit Evaluations.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise PLM and 3D Design tools; experience with CLO 3D, VibeIQ, or Bamboo Rose is a strong plus.
• Proven track record with agile delivery methodologies, leading technology projects from conception through implementation.
