Opportunity
Kallista is a design-led luxury brand within Kohler, operating with a small-brand mindset and enterprise-scale technology capabilities. We are seeking a Digital Product Manager (Individual Contributor) to co-develop and operationalize the digital roadmap and to run the day-to-day delivery cadence for Kallista’s Adobe-based digital ecosystem (CMS, DAM, PIM, analytics).
This role translates strategic priorities into a sequenced plan of work, maintains a high-quality backlog, coordinates releases, and ensures measurement foundations support optimization and performance insights. The hiring manager owns cross-functional enterprise leadership (Kohler IT, Data/Analytics, Marketing Operations, Sales Enablement) as well as agency/vendor relationships and SEO.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1) Digital Roadmap Support & Product Planning
• Co-develop and maintain a rolling 12-month digital roadmap with the hiring manager, including milestones, sequencing, and release windows.
• Translate business priorities into epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery plans that balance platform health, quick wins, and longer-term capability building.
• Partner with stakeholders to define success metrics and ensure initiatives are measurable and tied to customer and commercial outcomes.
2) Backlog Ownership & Agile Delivery Cadence
• Own backlog operations: intake, refinement, prioritization recommendations, dependency mapping, and story readiness.
• Facilitate the working cadence (e.g., sprint planning, backlog grooming, weekly cross-functional working sessions, retrospectives) to keep delivery moving across internal teams and external delivery resources.
• Coordinate UAT, release readiness, documentation, and launch communications to ensure high-quality delivery and adoption.
• Proactively identify risks, issues, and trade-offs; provide options with impact assessment and escalate decision points to the hiring manager as needed.
3) Digital Platform Capability Ownership (CMS / DAM / PIM / Analytics)
• Drive platform capability enhancements across Kallista’s Adobe-based ecosystem:
CMS: content workflows, templates/components, performance, accessibility readiness, and governance
DAM: asset lifecycle governance, metadata standards, findability, adoption enablement
PIM: product data quality, enrichment workflows, syndication readiness, governance support
Analytics: measurement support, event/taxonomy documentation, reporting requirements
• Partner with Kohler IT and platform teams to ensure solutions are scalable, compliant, supportable, and aligned to enterprise standards.
• Monitor platform health and operational performance, coordinate incident resolution and preventative improvements.
4) Business Digital Tools Enablement
• Assist with implementation of additional digital tools and platforms that solve broader business needs beyond the website and current digital toolset (e.g., tools supporting sales enablement, customer service, lead management workflows, content operations, data sharing, or operational efficiency).
• Support discovery and requirements gathering with business stakeholders; document workflows, user needs, and success metrics.
• Coordinate delivery activities with Kohler IT and relevant platform owners, including backlog creation, UAT planning/support, launch readiness, and adoption enablement.
• Ensure new tools integrate appropriately with existing systems/processes (where applicable) and that measurement/monitoring needs are defined for ongoing optimization.
5) Measurement Enablement & Performance Insights
• Support a trusted measurement foundation by maintaining KPI definitions, event/taxonomy documentation, and data-quality checks in partnership with Data & Analytics.
• Provide performance reporting and insights (traffic, engagement, conversion signals, content effectiveness), highlighting trends and recommended actions.
• Ensure platform and measurement readiness to support marketing optimization efforts (SEO strategy and agency management owned by the hiring manager).
6) Change Adoption & Enablement
• Create release notes, user guides, and enablement materials to support adoption of new platform capabilities and business digital tools.
• Establish feedback loops with business users and stakeholders to validate delivered features to improve workflows and outcomes.
