Product Manager, In-Store Media
Role Overview
The Contractor Product Manager, In-Store Media will help define, drive, and operationalize product strategy across Kroger’s evolving In-Store Media ecosystem. This role goes beyond traditional product execution and requires a highly independent product leader who can operate across a complex landscape of hardware, software, data, measurement, operations, and external vendor capabilities.
This individual will serve as a key product owner for a foundational, business-critical in-store media platform, partnering across a broad network of internal and external stakeholders to deliver scalable, measurable, and customer-centered solutions. The role requires strong product judgment, systems thinking, technical fluency, and the ability to establish structure in a space that is still maturing in its product operating model.
The ideal candidate is comfortable leading through ambiguity, creating clarity where processes are undefined, and serving as the connective tissue across business, technology, commercial, and operational teams. They must be able to balance near-term execution with longer-term strategic thinking, while acting as a steward of Kroger’s in-store media product vision.

- Experience creating clarity, structure, and operating models in environments where product processes are still being established.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority and align teams around shared outcomes.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and prioritization skills.
- Experience evaluating new product opportunities, shaping concepts early, and partnering with business stakeholders on strategic direction.
- Ability to manage business priorities alongside customer needs, technical constraints, and long-term platform sustainability.
