Project Manager, Product Development

he Role 

At MFUSED, innovation doesn’t stop at the idea — it’s built, tested, refined, and scaled with precision. The Project Manager, Product Development is the heartbeat of that process, connecting creative ideas to tangible products that deliver on our promise of quality and consistency. 
 
This role leads new product development from spark to shelf — partnering across departments to turn research-driven concepts into commercial success stories. You’ll collaborate with R&D, Compliance, Operations, and Marketing to bring data-informed, customer-centric products to life while maintaining alignment with MFUSED’s mission and brand values. 
 
If you love the idea of translating big ideas into reality — and thrive where creativity meets structure — this is where you’ll make an impact. 

What You’ll Do 

• Lead new product development (NPD) projects from concept to commercialization — ensuring each stage (ideation, formulation, testing, packaging, and launch) meets deadlines, budgets, and brand standards.
• Collaborate across R&D, Compliance, Operations, Marketing, and Sales to bring new ideas to life and align innovation goals with business priorities.
• Drive go-to-market (GTM) readiness: packaging proofs, SKU setup, compliance reviews, and launch communications.
• Coordinate sensory testing, data collection, and performance tracking to inform research-driven product decisions.
• Manage vendor relationships supporting product testing, packaging, and manufacturing.
• Lead cross-functional project meetings, document progress, and escalate challenges early to keep launches on track.
• Maintain records of formulations, packaging specs, and compliance documentation.
• Support post-launch evaluation, gathering feedback from sales, marketing, and operations to refine processes.
• Assist with existing product lifecycle management, including reformulations, packaging updates, and discontinuations.
• Track budgets, report variances, and manage resource allocation for assigned projects.
• Perform other related tasks and special projects as assigned to support the success of the Product team and broader MFUSED organization. 

What You’ll Bring 

• 2–3 years of experience in project management, product development, or commercialization (cannabis, CPG, or other regulated industries preferred).
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects, timelines, and stakeholders.
• Experience using project management platforms (Asana, Monday.com, or Smartsheet).
• A bias toward collaboration — you love connecting the dots between creative, operational, and regulatory teams.
• PMP certification preferred but not required.
• Bachelor’s degree welcomed but not required — experience matters more here.
• Must be U.S.-based and 21 years old.
• Willingness to travel based on business needs. 

Physical Demands / Work Environment 

This role is primarily remote and computer-based, with occasional travel to MFUSED or partner facilities. May require light lifting (up to 25 lbs). Reasonable accommodation available as required.
