Job Description:

Role Purpose

The Product Manager – Distributor Management Solution (DMS) will own the product strategy, roadmap, design, delivery, and evolution of the technology capabilities that enable the company’s Distributor and Indirect Route-to-Market ecosystem.

The role will partner closely with Global Sales, Route-to-Market, Supply Chain, Finance, Data, Technology, and local market teams to build a scalable and intelligent DMS platform that improves distributor operations, secondary sales visibility, inventory management, order fulfillment, and overall execution effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Roadmap

  • Define and own the DMS product vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap aligned with global Route-to-Market and Sales transformation priorities.
  • Translate business strategy and market needs into scalable global technology capabilities.
  • Continuously assess emerging technologies, industry trends, and evolving distributor operating models to shape the future product roadmap.

Product & Capability Ownership

  • Own end-to-end DMS capabilities including distributor onboarding, order management, secondary sales, inventory, pricing and schemes, claims, returns, credit/collections, and distributor performance.
  • Drive standardization of core capabilities while enabling appropriate localization for different markets and RTM models.
  • Own product backlog, epics, features, user stories, prioritization, and release planning.

Connected Route-to-Market Ecosystem

  • Drive seamless integration between DMS, ERP, Retail Execution/SFA, TPM, B2B Commerce, Supply Chain, Finance, and enterprise data platforms.
  • Establish reliable visibility across sell-in, distributor inventory, sell-out, retailer orders, and product availability.
  • Partner with architecture and engineering teams to ensure scalable, secure, and reusable technology solutions.

AI, Data & Intelligent Automation

  • Develop AI-enabled capabilities such as smart replenishment, demand sensing, stock-out prediction, inventory optimization, anomaly detection, and next-best-action recommendations.
  • Enable proactive exception management and increasingly automated distributor operations.
  • Establish trusted distributor data as a foundation for analytics and AI-driven decision-making.

Global Deployment & Adoption

  • Partner with regional and market teams to understand local distributor processes, regulatory requirements, and business needs.
  • Lead product pilots, market deployments, localization, and capability adoption.
  • Drive harmonization and reuse across markets while minimizing unnecessary customization.
  • Establish product governance and mechanisms for capturing and prioritizing market feedback.

Stakeholder & Partner Management

  • Act as the key technology product partner for Sales, Route-to-Market, Supply Chain, Finance, and Distributor Operations.
  • Manage relationships with technology vendors, implementation partners, and internal engineering teams.
  • Facilitate product governance and communicate roadmap, priorities, dependencies, risks, and product performance to senior stakeholders.

Key Success Measures

  • Distributor and market adoption
  • Secondary sales visibility and data quality
  • Distributor inventory accuracy
  • Product availability / reduction in stock-outs
  • Order cycle time and fulfillment performance
  • Distributor productivity and operational efficiency
  • Global solution adoption and reduction of local technology fragmentation
  • User satisfaction and product experience
  • Business value delivered through automation and AI-enabled capabilities

Experience & Qualifications

  • 8-10+ years of experience in Product Management, Sales Technology, Route-to-Market, Distributor Management, or related CPG capabilities.
  • Strong understanding of CPG indirect distribution models, including distributors, wholesalers, sub-distributors, and traditional/general trade.
  • Experience with DMS, SFA/Retail Execution, ERP, B2B Commerce, TPM, or related sales platforms.
  • Proven experience defining product strategy and managing complex global product roadmaps and backlogs.
  • Experience delivering technology products across multiple countries and diverse Route-to-Market models.
  • Strong understanding of APIs, integration, data platforms, analytics, cloud technologies, and modern product architecture.
  • Exposure to AI, GenAI, and agentic capabilities applied to Sales and Route-to-Market is preferred.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence across business, technology, regional, and market organizations.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or equivalent advanced degree preferred.

Leadership Capabilities

  • Product Mindset: Focuses on business outcomes and user value rather than technology delivery alone.
  • Strategic Thinking: Connects DMS capabilities to broader Sales and Route-to-Market transformation.
  • Global-to-Local Leadership: Balances enterprise standardization with legitimate market requirements.
  • Customer Centricity: Understands the needs of distributors, sales teams, retailers, and business stakeholders.
  • Influence & Collaboration: Leads effectively across complex global and cross-functional organizations.
  • Innovation: Identifies opportunities to leverage data, AI, and automation to reinvent distributor operations.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
