What You’ll Do

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

• 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 team culture built on trust, humor, and problem-solving (we take work seriously, not ourselves )

Essential Functions

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to satisfactorily perform each of the essential responsibilities listed below.

• Enable empowered product teams:
• Support cross-functional teams focused on solving problems instead of delivering features
• Enable predictable delivery while preserving agility, experimentation, and continuous discovery
• Help teams sequence work thoughtfully to balance learning and execution
• Improve flow and operating rhythm
• Facilitate lightweight, high-value rituals (planning, reviews, retros, dependency syncs) that improve focus, accountability, and momentum.
• Help teams work in small, testable increments, avoid unnecessary rework and chaos, and confirm their ideas are right before investing heavily in building them.
• Improve clarity through clear definitions of development stages, what is R&D vs Production
• Encourage incremental delivery and rapid feedback loops
• Increase visibility without creating status churn
• Provide outcome-oriented reporting on risks, tradeoffs, progress, and dependencies
• Surface risks early with mitigation plans
• Ensure stakeholders feel informed and confident by providing transparency without micromanaging teams
• Translate stakeholder requests into clearly defined problems to solve
• Remove friction and unblock delivery
• Identify bottlenecks and drive cross-team dependency resolution
• Coordinate operational readiness (release coordination, launch checklists, support handoffs)
• Improve release flow in partnership with engineering (CI/CD, SDLC alignment)
• Strengthen execution discipline:
• Help teams maintain accountability while preserving autonomy
• Promote measurable outcomes over output tracking
• Encourage continuous improvement using flow metrics (cycle time, WIP, throughput where appropriate)
• Coach partners on how product teams work
• Set expectations with stakeholders
• Protect team focus
• Translate “requests” into problems to solve.
• The outcomes you’ll drive:
• Sprint and release commitments are met consistently
• Cross-team dependencies are identified early, tracked visibly, and resolved before they delay delivery.
• Stakeholders know what’s shipping, when, and why
• Releases feel coordinated and operationally ready with clear handoffs to Customer Success and Support.
