Job description
Job Description
Every item on a Casey's shelf, every price tag, every promotional event, every planogram reset, every made-to-order pizza, and every replenishment order traces back to a data record someone had to set up correctly. Across 3,000+ stores, 19 states, and a product catalog that spans fuel, food service, and general merchandise, that foundational layer — merchandising master data — is what makes buying decisions executable, store operations reliable, and the guest experience consistent.
This role is the dedicated Product Owner for the systems and workflows that define, maintain, and govern Casey's merchandising data: item setup and attributes, pricing and promotions, planograms and assortment, compliance restrictions, and recipe master data. The Product Owner partners with a Product Manager who owns the broader merchandising data strategy, and is accountable for backlog health, stakeholder alignment, and the data quality that makes every downstream merchandising system work.
Key Responsibilities:
Item data accuracy and completeness. Own the item setup and maintenance workflow — from new item creation and attribute population through vendor-item relationships, pack hierarchy, and lifecycle management. Item data must be right before anything downstream can work.
Pricing and promotion integrity. Support the systems that manage retail pricing, promotional events, and markdown execution — ensuring price changes and promo configurations reach stores accurately and on time.
Planogram and assortment management. Partner with Merchandisers and Buyers on the tools and workflows that govern where products are placed, what the assortment looks like by location, and how planogram data stays current as the catalog changes.
Third-party integration ownership. Drive day-to-day relationships with vendors holding their roadmaps, contracts, and bug queues accountable to ours.
Backlog & sprint health. Story decomposition, acceptance criteria, definition of done, and sprint hygiene — the discipline that lets a scrum team ship clean work every two weeks instead of fighting fires.
Stakeholder partnership. Intake, alignment, and clear status comms with business owners across
Process consistency. Work closely with other product owners to ensure consistency in execution and responsibilities within the agile delivery teams. Perform other duties as assigned.
Compensation:
Starting pay range: $91,600-120,200. Actual pay may vary based on Casey’s assessment of the candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities (KSAs), related experience, education, and qualifications. Other factors impacting pay include local prevailing wages and internal equity. This position is eligible for an annual cash bonus based on company performance. Our full salary range for this role does extend beyond the typical hiring range listed, allowing team members the opportunity to continue to grow within the company.
Requirements
This position requires authorization to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based immigration sponsorship now or in the future. Casey’s will not provide sponsorship or employer support for applications or petitions for F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, J-1, or any other employment-based visa.
Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent work-related experience is required.
At least five (5) years of direct work experience in product ownership. Certified in Scrum Product Ownership, a plus.
Experience with collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet's, etc.).
Backlog & delivery discipline. You’ve spent time as a Product Owner — writing the stories engineers want to pick up, running a backlog that reflects the world as it is today (not last quarter), and keeping a scrum team out of the weeds. Jira and Confluence are second nature. Smartsheet's doesn’t scare you. SAFe or scrum cadence is familiar territory.
Stakeholder & business partnership. Comfortable saying “not this sprint” without burning a bridge. You can write an exec status update with confidence, run a business-readiness meeting without scripts, and translate between business goals and engineering reality without losing either side.
