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.

We’re an industry leader in innovative, problem-solving organization products, with solutions sold in major retailers and online.

The Role

• 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

What You’ll Do

• Build new product development processes and timelines — you own the system

• 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.
