We’re looking for a people-first Manager of Project Management to lead a team of project managers and run their own projects. This role will orchestrate cross-functional launches across Product, Creative, Marketing, Sales, and Operations. You’ll coach your team, remove roadblocks, and level-up our processes so every launch moves from “What if…?” to “On the shelf!”—on time, on budget, and on brand.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the team- Set clear goals, run weekly 1:1s, deliver candid feedback, grow careers, and uphold a high-performance bar.
- Build the bench- Recruit, onboard, and rapidly ramp project management talent as the team scales.
- Own the plan – Build crystal-clear project timelines in ClickUp and keep every task, dependency, and milestone on track. Focus on both individual projects and the overall portfolio.
- Drive collaboration – Facilitate crisp decisions across Product, Creative, Marketing, Sales, and Operations; keep global partners and factories in the loop. Clarify priorities and make sure no detail (or sample shipment) slips through the cracks.
- Master risk – Spot roadblocks before they appear, adjust the plan, and communicate changes with calm confidence.
- Champion clarity – Run energizing meetings, share concise updates, and keep global partners in the loop.
- Optimize the engine – Apply Lean and BPM principles to streamline processes, eliminate waste, and level-up how we work.
- Inspire momentum – Model positivity under pressure and foster a culture of continuous improvement and “let’s-do-this” fun.
Require Qualifications:
- 9 years of project/program management experience (CPG preferred), including 1–3 years leading PjMs or project teams.
- Mastery of modern PjM tools—especially ClickUp—and the ability to create scalable, elegant workflows and dashboards.
- Proven track record delivering multi-stakeholder launches on time and on budget.
- Excellent communication, meeting facilitation, and executive-ready reporting skills.
- Proven ability to lead by influence, juggling multiple priorities without losing focus. Strong organization and prioritization across multiple parallel workstreams.
- Comfort working on-site (5 days/week) in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.
Desired Qualifications:
- Bonus points for experience with product safety regulations, third-party manufacturers, or advanced Excel wizardry.
- PMP strongly preferred
