• Define and monitor product KPIs (delivery NPS, reschedule/cancel rates, cost per stop, contact rate) and iterate based on performance.
• Standardize digital and process experiences for home delivery, white glove setups, exchanges/returns, and in‑home service visits across all markets.

Innovation in Last Mile & Technology

• Drive innovation in delivery scheduling, capacity management, self‑service tools, and driver/technician apps that are purpose‑built for furniture and décor.
• Evaluate and integrate technologies (TMS, telematics, routing optimization, SMS/email/app notifications, photo documentation, AI‑based ETA prediction).
• Partner with data science and analytics teams to leverage AI/ML for demand forecasting, route optimization, and exception management.

Stakeholder & Partner Management

• Build strong partnerships with Transportation & Logistics, Supply Chain, Stores, E‑Commerce, Customer Care, Finance, and IT to ensure aligned priorities and integrated execution.
• Collaborate with 3PLs, delivery partners, and service providers to ensure Ashley’s product experiences are supported in the field.
• Present product strategy, roadmap updates, and results to Ashley senior leadership, influencing decisions with clear customer and financial impact.

Team Leadership

• Lead and grow a high‑performing product team (Product Managers, Product Owners, Analysts) focused on last mile experiences.
• Establish product operating rhythms (prioritization, planning, discovery, retrospectives) that promote accountability, speed, and quality.
• Foster a culture of customer obsession, collaboration, and continuous improvement across Product, UX, Engineering, and Operations partners.

Financial & Business Impact

• Build robust business cases and ROI models for new last mile products and enhancements (e.g., new service tiers, self‑service flows, automation).
• Influence investment decisions by articulating the impact on revenue, cost, NPS, and repeat rate.
