• Bring strong understanding of retail/grocery business processes, including store operations, sales, pricing, inventory, fulfillment , and omnichannel processes.

• Facilitate discussions and workshops with business and technology stakeholders and ensure decisions and action items are clearly documented.

• Review solution approaches at a high level and ensure appropriate engineering, testing, documentation, and support practices are followed.

• Drive continuous improvement across delivery predictability, quality, productivity, and operational/support processes.

• Provide clear executive-level communication on project status, risks, dependencies, recommendations, and required decisions.

• Support transformation assessments, roadmap development, and prioritization of initiatives based on business value and feasibility.

Required Skills Experience

• 812 years of experience in technology delivery, consulting, or transformation programs.

• Strong experience managing data, analytics, digital transformation, or retail technology programs.

• Good understanding of retail/grocery operations and omnichannel business processes.

• Experience managing offshore or distributed technology teams.

• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to work across business, product, architecture, and engineering teams.

• Working understanding of Databricks/data engineering concepts and modern data platforms; deep hands-on development expertise is not mandatory.

• Strong delivery management skills with experience managing scope, timelines, risks, dependencies, and quality.

• Ability to translate technical challenges into business impact and management-level recommendations.

• Strong communication, presentation, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

Preferred Profile

Candidates with experience in retail/grocery organizations, retail consulting or enterprise digital transformation programs will be preferred. Exposure to Databricks-based transformation or migration programs would be an advantage.

• Predictable delivery with improved quality and reduced rework.

• Proactive identification and resolution of risks and dependencies.

• Better alignment between GFH business priorities and technology delivery.

• Increased stakeholder confidence through clear communication, transparency, and consistent execution.
