Digital products are central to how we create value, serve customers, and shape consumer experiences. Our product organization empowers small, agile teams to move with clarity, speed, and purpose, making digital a core advantage. We’re raising our standards across product, design, and engineering, deepening user connection, and rebuilding our foundational systems end‑to‑end.

We are building an in‑house engineering capability from the ground up, establishing the technical backbone for our digital products and platforms. This team will define the architecture and build resilient, scalable systems that accelerate value delivery and enable our product vision. If you are an engineering leader who has built modern, product‑led organizations and wants to do it again at a meaningful scale, we want to meet you.

The Head of Engineering & Platforms is the senior leader responsible for building and scaling the product management team for core customer and commercial experience platforms and the engineering capability that powers digital products for North America.
