What are the responsibilities and job description for the IT Product Launch Project Manager - Exp in Online Product Website - Onsite - Bridgeville, PA - JOBID770 position at Outcome Logix ( A Tech 50 Finalist company 2025 and 2022, by Pittsburgh Technology Council )?
ole Overview
The second position is focused on online product launches and is somewhat different from a traditional IT Project Manager role.
The organization manages a very large product portfolio with 30,000 products and requires someone who understands how to successfully prepare and launch products through online channels.
The individual should understand how the various pieces of product information come together to make a product successful online, including:
- Pricing
- Weight
- Dimensions
- Shape and size
- Product category
- Product descriptions
- Product photography
- Product attributes
- Product metadata
- Other product-related information
The objective is to make the online product launch process seamless, ensuring the appropriate product information and metadata are available and accessible when the product goes live.
The role is somewhat comparable to a Category/Product Manager function within a large retailer, where the individual understands how product information needs to come together to successfully introduce and merchandise products online.
The organization operates with aggressive product launch timelines and a high-velocity environment, so the individual must be comfortable managing multiple activities, teams, dependencies, and stakeholders simultaneously.
The role will work closely with IT and IT Engineering teams.
