PM – F&F Planning Apps

\n

\n

Role Summary

\n

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.

\n

\n

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.

\n

\n

What Makes This Role Distinct

\n

\n
• Highly interconnected systems: nothing exists in isolation; every change has downstream impact.

\n

• Greater autonomy than the MyProduct Range role — fewer programme structures around it today.

\n

• Deep domain complexity: planning, buying, branching, ordering, and product lifecycle flows.

\n

• Ideal for a PM who thrives in ambiguity, can self‐start, and can shape direction independently.

\n\n

\n

Core Responsibilities

\n

\n
• Own the product strategy for F&F Planning Apps, spanning both apps and back‐end systems.

\n

• Develop a clear understanding of today’s complex landscape and define the future‐state vision.

\n

• Work closely with other product teams to manage dependencies and avoid system breakage.

\n

• Drive alignment across teams where processes and systems are tightly intertwined.

\n

• Lead discovery, prioritisation, and roadmap creation with a high degree of autonomy.

\n

• Partner with engineering to ensure solutions are scalable, stable, and aligned to long‐term goals.

\n

Experience & Skills Needed

\n

\n
• Strong PM experience in complex, multi‐system environments — ideally with back‐end exposure.

\n

• Ability to understand and work with big data, complex data flows, and legacy systems.

\n

• Comfortable operating with less programme structure and driving progress independently.

\n

• Excellent collaboration skills — this role interacts with many product teams.

\n

• Strong strategic thinking: able to map today’s reality and chart a path to the future.

\n\n

\n

Nice to Have

\n

\n
• Experience in clothing, fashion, or retail product lifecycle — helpful but not essential.

\n

• Understanding of end‐to‐end retail flows: product development → branching → buying → ordering.

\n

• Experience in environments where apps and back‐end systems are tightly coupled.
