This position is essential for designing the supply network of RFID labels within the tag at source program.

Furthermore, the Product Manager will develop a commercial plan and requirements for implementation, while also gaining category knowledge on the RFID value chain to incorporate into the connected supply chain network strategy. This involves understanding RFID volume and capacity requirements, as well as identifying mechanisms to assure the supply of RFID labels.
