Overview

Verizon is undergoing a strategic transformation, building a world-class product and revenue organization committed to driving sustainable business growth and long-term customer value. The CXO Core Product & Delivery (CPD) function serves as the primary product execution engine within the digital ecosystem, taking accountability for the vision, performance, and usability of customer-facing digital experiences. Operating as the commercial distribution layer that converts strategic business intent into high-performing customer reality, this function manages fast-moving digital product roadmaps, including  scope assessment, upfront requirement formalization, user story creation & test acceptance, post-launch optimization, defect management, and platform scaling.

In equal partnership and with shared accountability alongside Strategy, Experience Assurance (XA), Design, and PRO, the Senior Director leads a team that formulates the tactical execution roadmaps for web and mobile channels, focusing on maximizing transaction velocity and conversion health. The team is structured to eliminate functional fragmentation across direct digital tracks, establishing the programmatic guardrails that ensure daily market operations execute seamlessly while safeguarding the overall business viability of the build.

We are seeking a commercially sharp, execution-tested product executive to lead this function. You will direct a high-velocity product management organization structured into cross-functional aligned PODs, optimizing workforce capacity against strategic corporate demands, managing continuous product life cycles, and ensuring all shipped digital capabilities drive absolute line-of-sight revenue and customer value realization.
