Product Manager, Data Science

At Stitch Fix, we believe in transforming the way people find what they love by combining technology, data science, and the human instincts of a Stylist. The Learning & Playback (L&P) team plays a crucial role in this mission, focusing on driving deeper personalization and understanding of our clients. Our goal is to elicit client style preferences and taste and to “learn” who they are, what they like and don’t like, and “playback” what we’ve understood, enabling clients to correct us, and help us to refine their personalized shopping experience. This approach allows us to deliver industry-leading styling and shopping experiences, grounded in the most advanced machine learning and AI capabilities.

We are seeking a strategic and experienced Data Science Product Manager to lead our Learning & Playback team. In this highly strategic and impactful role, you will define the product strategy and vision that bridges data science, client needs, and business objectives. You will partner closely with Data Science, Engineering, Design, and other Product Managers to deliver on a roadmap that enhances our understanding of client preferences and improves the personalization of our recommendations.

• Develop and execute a product strategy that enhances our best-in-class understanding of client fashion taste and styling preferences, personalization, and the ability to deliver exceptional styling experiences. This includes leveraging cutting-edge Gen AI capabilities to drive improvements in our recommendation systems.
• Own the roadmap, informed by data-driven insights and advanced analytics, to prioritize investments in machine learning capabilities and product features that serve our clients' needs and drive business value.
• Identify and articulate clear, strategic problem statements, translating complex business challenges into focused opportunities that push the boundaries of personalization and client satisfaction.
• Collaborate with Data Scientists, Engineering, and Design to leverage cutting-edge AI capabilities, driving enhancements in our recommendation systems to create experiences where clients discover styles they love, fit perfectly, and help them always look—and feel—their best.
• Lead with influence, not just authority, fostering a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives from Data Science, Engineering, and Design come together to solve complex challenges and build exceptional products.
• Shape the future of AI-driven personalization at Stitch Fix, with the opportunity to take on high-visibility projects and grow into a key leadership role within the product organization.
• Drive key initiatives and projects, such as StyleFile Expansion, Conversational Onboarding, Style Shuffle V2, and improvements in core recommendation models.
• Continuously learn and gather feedback from clients, iterating on our style quiz, profile updates, and integrating these learnings into both the Fix and Freestyle experiences.
• Improve item recommendations and surfacing, ensuring clients receive personalized, high-quality recommendations that align with their preferences and style needs.

• You have 5-8 years of product management experience, with a strong focus on data science, machine learning, and recommendation systems.
• You are a strategic thinker who can synthesize customer needs, industry trends, and company objectives to create a compelling vision and a long-term strategy for Learning & Playback.
• Champion client empathy and build robust feedback loops, integrating client insights into every stage of product development to ensure our AI-driven experiences feel personal, relevant, and delightful.
• You embody our Stitch Fix values—bright, kind, and motivated by challenge—and who approaches every problem with curiosity, accountability, and a desire to learn.
• You have repeated success in driving conversion, engagement, or retention by leading major product initiatives, driving cross-functional teams, and delivering meaningful customer value.
• You possess a deep understanding of data analytics and the ability to collaborate effectively with Data Science and Engineering teams, translating business goals into actionable ML projects.
• You are skilled in prioritization and stakeholder management, comfortable navigating differing opinions, setting expectations, and ensuring alignment across teams.
• Bonus points for experience in eCommerce recommendation systems, early-stage product development and obsessing over the cutting edge of Generative AI.

• We are a group of bright, kind people who are motivated by challenge. We value integrity, innovation and trust. You’ll bring these characteristics to life in everything you do at Stitch Fix.
• We cultivate a community of diverse perspectives— all voices are heard and valued.
• We are an innovative company and leverage our strengths in fashion and tech to disrupt the future of retail. 
• We win as a team, commit to our work, and celebrate grit together because we value strong relationships.
• We boldly create the future while keeping equity and sustainability at the center of all that we do.
