SR. MANAGER, PROJECT MANAGEMENT & SCRUM – DIGITAL PRODUCTS
CORPORATE
COTY, United States, New York
We’re Coty, a global leader in beauty. We’re World #1 in Fragrance, World #2 in
Professional Hair Care and World #3 in Colour Cosmetics. Our iconic portfolio of more than 77 brands are sold in over 150 countries around the world. We believe in beauty with a purpose and brands that inspire, no matter where they are in the world.
THE ROLE
The Sr. Manager, Project Management & Scrum – Digital Products:
• Manages the global digital portfolio management and intake process in partnership with Digital Product and Digital IT Teams
• Directly manages a team of Scrum Masters and is responsible for driving overall Sprint and Agile process efficiency amongst the Digital Product team as our Digital Products are fluid and this role will set new ways of working and processes for a growing team
• Drive process innovation in all areas of the Digital Product team in order to exceed expectations while building efficiencies and scale across the business
• Reports directly into the VP, Digital Product – New Technology and is part of wider team responsible for enabling and driving the global digital products across COTY.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Manage the Global Digital Product Intake & Portfolio Process. Managing and refining the intake process is a cornerstone to the success of the Digital Product team and its effectiveness within COTY. The intake process, planning, and Digital Product teams within COTY are new and as such, fluidity and constant refinement are expected around capturing, evaluating, and prioritizing ideas for Digital Products, services, and operational activities.
• Be an Expert in the Digital Product Domain. Digital Product Management teams already exist but equally important is a shared understanding of the Digital Product Domain around technology platforms such as DTC, B2B, DAM, PIM, DMP, CRM, etc. Project Management & Scrum processes and ways of working will need to be tailored to the types of product teams and technology platforms in place. Demonstrated understanding of platforms and team processes within and across these platforms is paramount to the success of the role. You will be bridging many discussions across teams and domain knowledge is incredibly important. Your team’s goal will be to remove barriers and create efficiency (not to create more work).
• Be an expert on the Agile/Scrum domain, the market, and the trends. Evangelize the vision constantly so all stakeholders are aligned, have context, and understand where we are going.
• Represent the customer in the Project Management & Scrum process.Be the champion and voice of customers. Customers may be consumers, internal COTY employees, your peers, external COTY partners, and anything in between depending on the Digital Product. Build impactful personal customer relationships. Bring the customer’s voice into the creation process. We are in this for the customer, not to add process for process’ sake.
• Measure success. A completed Sprint does not indicate a success. Define what success means for each Sprint before it begins. Develop ways to constantly define and monitor success. Most importantly, share successes amongst the team.
• Collaborate with Stakeholders to ensure alignment. We win or lose as a team. Agile & Scrum plays a critical role in creating alignment between Sprint Teams and stakeholders. A collaborative attitude is essential to the job.
• Communicate clearly and efficiently. Coordinate across Digital Product teams, Digital IT, and other teams. Close alignment, setting clear expectations, and frequent communication are key for success.
• Design and refine Coty’s Agile/Scrum landscape. Understand key business digital priorities globally and within divisions and key markets to balance present-day needs with future evolution needed to advance Coty’s business ambitions digitally pertaining specifically to the Agile/Scrum processes.
