PM – F&F Planning Apps
Role Summary
This role supports the expansion of the F&F technology team and backfills the current PM as they move into a newly created role. It focuses on the apps and back‑end systems that underpin F&F’s planning, buying, and product lifecycle processes.
The PM will work across a highly interconnected ecosystem where changes in one area can impact multiple others. This requires someone who is comfortable navigating complexity, collaborating across product teams, and driving clarity in a tangled landscape.
What Makes This Role Distinct
- Highly interconnected systems: nothing exists in isolation; every change has downstream impact.
- Greater autonomy than the MyProduct Range role — fewer programme structures around it today.
- Deep domain complexity: planning, buying, branching, ordering, and product lifecycle flows.
- Ideal for a PM who thrives in ambiguity, can self‑start, and can shape direction independently.
Core Responsibilities
- Own the product strategy for F&F Planning Apps, spanning both appsandback‑end systems.
- Develop a clear understanding of today’s complex landscape and define the future‑state vision.
- Work closely with other product teams to manage dependencies and avoid system breakage.
- Drive alignment across teams where processes and systems are tightly intertwined.
- Lead discovery, prioritisation, and roadmap creation with a high degree of autonomy.
- Partner with engineering to ensure solutions are scalable, stable, and aligned to long‑term goals.
Experience & Skills Needed
- Strong PM experience in complex, multi‑system environments— ideally with back‑end exposure.
- Ability to understand and work with big data, complex data flows, and legacy systems.
- Comfortable operating with less programme structure and driving progress independently.
- Excellent collaboration skills — this role interacts with many product teams.
- Strong strategic thinking: able to map today’s reality and chart a path to the future.
Nice to Have
- Experience in clothing, fashion, or retail product lifecycle— helpful but not essential.
- Understanding ofend‑to‑end retail flows: product development → branching → buying → ordering.
- Experience in environments whereapps and back‑end systems are tightly coupled.
