Job description

As a founding member of our rapidly evolving Project Management team, you will provide end-to-end ownership of complex, high-impact new product development (NPD) programs. You will lead multiple cross-functional teams through the NPD process from concept to retail launch, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on cost, and on spec.

Because our PMO is a newly established function, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our operational standards, creating deep and meaningful partnerships companywide, and demonstrating project management's strategic value. You serve as a strategic partner, facilitator, and escalation point-driving alignment at leadership levels, navigating high ambiguity, and setting the standard for execution excellence.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities are executed in alignment with PMO standards, methodologies, and the Project Management Competency Matrix. Duties include but are not limited to:

• Project & Timeline Management: Own and drive multiple large or complex NPD programs simultaneously through the Phase Gate process. Develop and manage integrated timelines, anticipate delivery risks, and lead cross-functional teams through trade-off decisions to protect timing, cost, and scope. This is a leadership role focused on ownership and outcomes, not task execution for other functions. Actively help define and refine our NPD gates and milestones as our PMO matures.
• Product & Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner closely with Product Managers, Marketing, R&D, Engineering, Sourcing, Operations, Quality, and Creative at both working and leadership levels. Facilitate high-impact meetings, drive decision-making, and ensure alignment on priorities, commitments, and deliverables across functions.
• Advanced Risk Management: Proactively identify, assess, and manage risks across programs with significant business impact. Develop mitigation and contingency plans, escalate appropriately, and prevent late-stage surprises through early visibility and action.
• Stakeholder Communication: Provide clear, concise, and strategic project updates to cross-functional leaders and stakeholders. Influence alignment and decision-making by clearly communicating risks, trade-offs, and recommendations.
• Continuous Improvement: Lead efforts to strengthen PMO processes, tools, and standards. Identify systemic gaps across teams and drive improvements that enable more predictable, efficient, and scalable product launches. Help design, pilot, and champion new PMO tools, templates, and communication cadences that make the team more efficient.

• Bachelor's degree required (Business, Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, or similar).
• Typically 7-10+ years of professional experience, including extensive ownership of complex NPD programs.

• Expert proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and project management tools.

• Detail-Oriented: Manages complex, interdependent project details across multiple programs, anticipating downstream impacts to scope, timing, cost, and quality. Identifies patterns and systemic risks early to prevent escalation and late-stage disruption.
• Communication: Provides clear, concise, and strategic verbal and written communication across all levels of the organization, including senior leadership. Translates complex project dynamics into decision-ready insights that drive alignment and action.
• Problem-Solving: Anticipates obstacles before they emerge, quickly assesses root causes, and guides teams toward practical, durable solutions that balance business priorities and execution realities.
• Cross-Functional Fluency: Demonstrates deep fluency across Brand, Engineering, Sourcing, Operations, Quality, and other partner functions. Uses this understanding to drive effective collaboration, sound trade-offs, and strong execution outcomes.
• Adaptability & Ambiguity: Thrives in high-pressure, fast-changing environments with competing priorities. Leads teams confidently through ambiguity, maintaining momentum and focus despite shifting inputs or incomplete information.

• Mediator, not Participant: Leads as an objective, unbiased truth teller who balances competing functional priorities and interests. Facilitates tough conversations, surfaces hard truths early, and drives fair, informed outcomes aligned to overall business goals.
• Conflict Navigation: Navigates complex, high-stakes conflicts across teams and leadership levels with sound judgment. Resolves competing priorities constructively, escalating appropriately to protect project outcomes.
• Calm in the Storm: Maintains composure, clarity, and decisiveness during periods of significant pressure or uncertainty. Sets the tone for teams, helping others remain focused and productive during tight deadlines or critical moments.
• Influence Without Authority: Builds strong, trust-based relationships across the organization and influences outcomes through credibility and expertise. Effectively drives commitment, accountability, and follow-through without relying on formal authority.
• Attention to Detail: Continuously monitors program health at both project and portfolio levels, ensuring small gaps or inconsistencies are identified early and do not scale into larger delivery or quality issues.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.

The poverty rate is 8.0%, 33% below the state rate (8.0% against 12.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 78°F (25.8°C), and the coolest is Dec at 50°F (10.0°C). About 289 mm (11 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Feb is the wettest month (63 mm) and Jun the driest (1 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
