About the Role

Gap Inc. is embarking on a bold, multi-year Product-to-Market (P2M) Transformation to reimagine our product engine and unlock new levels of creativity, speed, and resilience. Speed to-Market is one of three core pillars of this journey, charged with designing, piloting, and scaling the future-state operating model for how we imagine and develop products for our

customers.

This isn’t just about moving faster; it’s about building the industry’s most forward-looking model, one that integrates AI, advanced analytics, and best-in-class practices to empower leaders across our brands. By simplifying execution, strengthening strategic foresight, and unleashing creativity, we will accelerate development cycles, sharpen customer relevance, and unlock revenue growth.

As Director of Speed-to-Market Transformation, you’ll be at the center of this reinvention. You will partner with senior brand and enterprise leaders to operationalize next-generation tools — from AI-powered visual assorting and predictive line planning to insights-driven store mapping — ensuring creativity and strategy take center stage
