New Product Development Manager (Consumer Goods)

St. Paul, MN (On-site, In Person)

Before You Read Further (Important)

• This is a hands-on, roll up your sleeves, execution-heavy role — not a strategy-only or coordination position.
• You must be hungry, humble and people smart. Non-negotiable.
• This is not a software, SaaS, app, or digital product role.

About Wrap-It Storage

We’re Wrap-It Storage — a fast-growing, family-owned consumer goods brand on a mission to help people Get Untangled! We’re an industry leader in innovative, problem-solving organization products, with solutions sold in major retailers and online. We’re a lean but mighty team where ideas move fast — from sketch to store shelves (and online) — without corporate clutter slowing things down.

The Role

We’re hiring a proactive, hands-on, design-minded New Product Development Manager to own the day-to-day execution of our physical product development process.

This is a builder role, not a coordinator role.

You will:

• Work directly with overseas factories
• Negotiate pricing, MOQs, tooling, and lead times
• Push projects forward when things stall
• ·Partner tightly with design, operations, and sales to hit deadlines
• Do whatever needs to be done to get products over the finish line

You will create structure, not wait for it.

Because we manufacture overseas, this role requires occasional evening communication to keep projects moving across time zones.

If you’re a self-starter who takes initiative, brings clarity to complexity, and has an eye for clean, cohesive product design — we want you on the team!

What You’ll Do

• Build new product development processes and timelines — you own the system
• Drive accountability and keep cross-functional teams aligned to deadlines
• Collaborate with marketing, sales, and operations to define project timelines and requirements
• Ensure product aesthetics, packaging, and overall execution are consistent with the Wrap-It brand
• Work proactively with overseas partners to maintain momentum, solve problems, and accelerate development
• Negotiate with suppliers to achieve competitive pricing while ensuring product quality
• Identify risks early and implement solutions before they cause delays
• Special projects as required (which is a fancy way of saying “other stuff we can’t think of right now”).

What You Bring

• 3–5+ years experience in consumer goods product development
• Demonstrated ability to build and lead project structure — not just follow it

·      Confidence in holding others accountable and driving results

·      Strong eye for design and brand cohesion

• Self-starter attitude: you see what needs to happen and make it happen
• Superior organizational skills
• Exceptional communication — direct, clear, timely, and solution-focused
• Comfortable with occasional evening work to stay in sync with overseas partners
• Skilled in Microsoft Office (primarily Excel & PowerPoint)

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• You’ll shape how new products are built and launched — real ownership
• Your ideas will be implemented quickly and visible everywhere our products sell
• A growth stage company with huge runway — your impact will grow with us
• A team culture built on trust, humor, and problem-solving (we take work seriously, not ourselves )

In Short: You’ll help launch the next generation of Wrap-It Storage products and make a big impact on a growing team—without the big company bureaucracy slowing you down.
