Gap Inc. has embarked on an enterprise-wide Product to Market (P2M) Transformation — IndigoX — to reimagine our product engine operating model, strengthen end-to-end capabilities, and accelerate speed, creativity, and resilience across all brands. The Merchandise Planning & Inventory Optimization (MP&IO) pillar within IndigoX is focused on modernizing how Gap Inc. plans, buys, and allocates inventory — building smarter, more connected planning capabilities that link consumer demand signals to product investment decisions, reduce markdown exposure, and improve performance across channels.

The Manager, P2M Transformation – Merch Planning & Inventory Optimization will serve as a critical activation partner for the MP&IO work stream, responsible for program delivery, stakeholder engagement, and business value tracking across planning, buying, and inventory management initiatives. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution — requiring someone who can manage program complexity with precision while bringing new thinking and an AI-native mindset to how the work gets done.

This individual will report into the Director, P2M Transformation.
