Join The VF Digital Technology Family!
We are looking for a talented Data Product Owner with a passion for AI and a Supply Chain background to support the delivery of VF's next-generation AI-powered Supply Chain Data Products. This role sits within our Digital Technology (DT) organisation and partners closely with Global Supply Chain business users and DT Product Owners to bring intelligent, data-driven products to life — spanning costing, quality, planning, and sourcing domains across Global Supply Chain.
How You Will Make a Difference
What you will do:
Support End-to-End Product Ownership
Contribute to the full lifecycle of AI and data products in your scope: shaping requirements, supporting design, coordinating development, testing, release, and continuous improvement.
Maintain and refine the product backlog in alignment with the Supply Chain AI Product roadmap.
Product Roadmap and Strategy
Translate business needs and user feedback into clear use cases, supporting the strategic roadmap owned by the Director, Data Product Management.
Assist in developing product concepts, value assessments, and prioritisation proposals — with a lens on business value and AI/ML feasibility.
Product Design
Plan and conduct user research and interviews with Global Supply Chain stakeholders to deeply understand workflows, pain points, and unmet needs — translating insights directly into product decisions.
Create wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes to communicate design intent and validate concepts with users before development begins; partner with technical teams to co-design AI-powered solutions that deliver the best end-to-end user experience.
Product Development
Collaborate within an Agile team framework and participate in sprint ceremonies including planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
Work closely with Product Owners, Data Scientists, Architects, Data/ AI/ Digital Engineers, and QA testers to ensure alignment on features, dependencies, and delivery timelines.
Bridge the gap between AI/ML model outputs and front-end user experience — ensuring predictions and recommendations are explainable, actionable, and trusted.
Benefits Realisation and Product Performance
Support monitoring of product KPIs and release-specific success metrics, including model accuracy, user adoption, and measurable business impact.
Work with business COE teams to support user adoption and ensure smooth experience of delivered AI products and features.
Data Governance and Quality
Ensure requirements and features align with VF's data governance policies, business definition standards, and AI ethics guidelines.
Assist in monitoring data integrity and raising issues proactively for remediation.
Product Management and Partnership
Communicate progress, risks, dependencies, and value outcomes to relevant stakeholders.
Support planning of product releases and coordinate expectations for upcoming features.
Collaborate with external partners and vendors to support delivery quality and performance.
How you will do it:
Engage with Supply Chain business users to gather product needs and translate them into clear user stories and acceptance criteria for AI-powered features.
Connect roadmap priorities to incremental product development and ensure transparency in backlog prioritisation.
Help define metrics that measure value once an AI product or feature is released — including model performance and business outcome measures.
Serve as a bridge between technical teams (data science, engineering, architecture, testing) and business teams across Global Supply Chain.
Validate product outcomes by grounding decisions in user needs, business impact, and data insights.
Foster an organised, collaborative, and Agile delivery rhythm within the team.
What success looks like:
You develop a clear understanding of VF's AI product portfolio, supply chain users, and the digital opportunities within Global Supply Chain — contributing meaningfully to the Data Product roadmap.
