Senior Project and Product Manager - SQR

Are you excited to be part of our dynamic team where business meets technology? Driving Rituals' growth through innovative tools within our Tech & Data department.

Share your talents

Do you want to play a key role in keeping Rituals compliant while enabling our Sourcing, Quality and Regulatory (SQR) teams with the right technology? This is a unique opportunity to join Tech & Data and lead impactful initiatives at the intersection of compliance, supplier collaboration and digital transformation.

As PPM (Project & Product Manager) for SQR, you will be the driving force behind strategic tool implementations and the continuous improvement of SQR-related capabilities. You are not only managing delivery, you are shaping solutions that help our business work smarter, safer and more compliant.

The PPM role is part of the Tech & Data department and works closely with the SQR organization. You will report into the Head of PAS.

As PPM for SQR, you will:

• Be the primary Tech & Data point of contact for SQR stakeholders and external software vendors, owning the intake and prioritization of requests for technical improvements and innovations.
• Lead high-impact projects end-to-end, from requirements gathering through implementation and go-live, ensuring scope, planning, risks and dependencies are managed proactively.
• Drive vendor and stakeholder alignment, acting as the "spider in the web" across SQR, Tech & Data, external software vendors and implementation partners.
• Deliver complex tool implementations, such as moving supplier buying price calculations to a new PLM tool, covering:
  • Defining business and technical requirements;
  • Project governance, planning and delivery cadence;
  • Stakeholder communication and change management;
  • Defining security and access guidelines, ensuring suppliers only see what they are allowed to see.
• Own the tool after implementation, acting as Product Owner for SQR-related capabilities: roadmap management, continuous improvement, backlog prioritization and value realization.
• Ensure operational continuity, coordinating support processes and acting as escalation point for critical incidents in collaboration with support teams.
• Champion best-practice ways of working, bringing structure, transparency and a pragmatic agile mindset to teams and stakeholders.
