The role combines customer research, product development, manufacturing, pricing and commercial decision-making.
You will work closely with overseas factories and guide products through specifications, quality standards, launch and continuous improvement.
Using customer evidence and performance data, you will decide which opportunities to pursue, improve, redesign or stop.

This is a fully remote position with required working-hour overlap from 9 AM to 1 PM Eastern Time.

Accountabilities

  • Build a detailed understanding of customers, including segments, purchase occasions, price and quality perceptions, trust signals, complaints and return drivers.
  • Use reviews, search behavior, social content, surveys, interviews and testing to identify customer needs and validate product opportunities.
  • Decide which new product opportunities should move forward, remain on hold or be discontinued, using clear evidence to support decisions.
  • Define product and offer specifications, including materials, construction, packaging, sizing, color assortment and price positioning.
  • Manage product lifecycles by identifying root causes behind negative feedback, improving quality standards, introducing product variations and making relaunch or discontinuation decisions.
  • Establish a results loop that compares launch expectations and forecasts with actual product performance.
  • Lead and prioritize the work of product analysts and sourcing/production coordination resources.
  • Review team output and guide the development and use of research, analysis and product-scoring tools.
  • Collaborate with overseas manufacturing partners to manage specifications, samples, quality standards and production requirements.

Requirements

  • Proven experience developing and launching at least three physical consumer products for U.S. consumers, with ownership of customer insight, product and offer decisions, and results.
  • At least one successfully developed product should have been sold primarily through an online channel such as DTC, Amazon or another marketplace.
  • 5+ years of experience within a consumer products company, brand or retailer serving U.S. consumers.

  • Hands-on product development expertise covering specifications, materials, samples, quality standards and factory collaboration, including overseas manufacturing.

  • Practical experience using AI in research or product development, with appropriate human review and validation.

Benefits

  • Flexible working arrangements outside the required collaboration window.
  • Required overlap with Eastern Time from 9 AM to 1 PM.
