OVERVIEW:
Welcome to Product Management at DICK’S Sporting Goods, where we specialize in delivering retail excellence along every aspect of the customer journey.
Our mission focuses on crafting intuitive, easy-to-use products that span across our business. We are looking for a new team member to join our technology team, partnering with product teams to bring product-market viability ideas that inspire, innovate and deliver elevated experiences for our teammates, customers and products.
The Product Analyst will support the development and optimization of upstream merchandising systems, including assortment planning, assortment management, assortment optimization, new store assortment planning, and store group management. This role focuses on ensuring these systems effectively support merchandising decision-making while delivering intuitive and efficient user experiences.
Because these capabilities rely on extensive integrations with foundational and adjacent systems, the Product Analyst will play a key role in understanding and managing the flow of data across platforms. The analyst will help ensure that data inputs, structures, and workflows are accurate, well-governed, and designed to enable seamless system interactions.
A strong understanding of end-to-end business processes is critical to success in this role. The Product Analyst must understand the full user journey—from upstream merchandising inputs through downstream operational and reporting impacts—to ensure changes are thoughtfully designed and do not create unintended system or process disruptions.
Working closely with product, engineering, merchandising, and analytics teams, the Product Analyst will translate business needs into clear requirements and workflows, while ensuring users have access to the insights and data necessary to make informed merchandising decisions.

This role is a critical enabler to ensuring the data moving through the system is governed and accurate within data domains.

The Senior Product Analyst role partners closely with product managers to understand the strategic vision and roadmap of a product. You will work with several product managers across several product teams to identify and document functional and technical specifications for product development. You will work with software engineering, data engineering and architecture to determine how to develop the solution to meet the product and customer expectations. As part of the team, you are accountable to partner with software engineering and product management on the testing and acceptance of technical requirements before shipping to production.
