ABOUT MARTIN JACKSON
I am a Product Development Manager at Next Ltd, specialising in the intersection of Agile delivery and large-scale e-commerce strategy. Currently leading the PIM Creative team, I am responsible for the systems and workflows that power our product data and creative assets—the \"source of truth\" for the Next digital experience.My background as a Scrum Master for the Search Enablers and PLP teams gave me a front-row seat to how customers discover products at scale. I’ve transitioned that delivery-focused mindset into product leadership, moving from facilitating \"how\" we build to defining \"what\" we build to drive the most commercial value.What I bring to the table:• End-to-End E-commerce Perspective: Deep understanding of the journey from PIM asset ingestion to front-end discovery on the PLP.• Agile Leadership: A belief that high-performing teams are built on transparency, empowerment, and a relentless focus on removing friction.• Stakeholder Synergy: Bridging the gap between technical engineering teams and creative/commercial business units to ensure our roadmap aligns with global brand goals.I’m passionate about building scalable retail technology that simplifies complex data into a seamless, beautiful experience for millions of customers.
