Job Description
We’re looking for a Director of Product Management to lead our Identity & Consent team. You’ll lead a team of product managers focused on our digital “front door” – the front- and back-end elements that allow our digital customers to register, login, setup and manage their profile including consent & privacy preferences, and identify themselves at our restaurants.
Through these experiences, we aspire to help customers more easily get value from every McDonald’s interaction and feel confident that we are safeguarding their personal data and respecting their preferences. This team is integral to enabling McDonald’s marketers to deliver a more personalized experience, while ensuring our products align with evolving global regulations. To achieve these outcomes, you’ll collaborate with multiple McDonald’s teams, including other Product teams, Experience Design, Engineering, Strategic Insights, Marketing, and Legal.
The ideal candidate for this role:
What you’ll do (key responsibilities):
Strategic Product Leadership: Define and execute the product domain vision, strategy, and roadmap for Identity & Consent, focusing on the most valuable customer and marketer problems to solve, while aligning with evolving global regulations.
Team Leadership: Coach and develop a team of product managers, including evangelizing and role modeling product ways of working that empower the team to make data-driven decisions and be accountable for results. Partner with Engineering, Experience Design, and the Agile Center of Excellence to steer the combined team. Work closely with your product peers to achieve product goals and unblock product teams that need support from other areas.
User Experience: Partner with Experience Design to develop a holistic, user-centric view of our Identity & Consent experience that is intuitive, reliable, trustworthy, and reflective of brand values.
Cross-Functional Stakeholder Management and Collaboration: Develop relationships with Data, Marketing, Legal, Market (country) teams, and others to understand current and future needs. Help product teams resolve and prioritize competing needs by navigating across these stakeholders.
Resource and budget management: Ensure that product teams have the necessary funding, tools, and support to achieve their goals. Align resources with strategic priorities and optimize for maximum impact.

Effectively communicate your vision, strategy, and progress to drive alignment across the organization, to both technical and non-technical audiences
Thrive in a cross-functional world where you closely partner with your technology, design, and other counterparts, and you know how to keep everyone working together toward a common goal
