Product DevelopmentOwn the development path from design handoff through production release: quoting, sampling, prototyping, iteration, and launch-readiness sign-off. Lead supplier selection and qualification for new product in partnership with sourcing, and own initial quoting and negotiation. Own cost build on new product — the cost stack behind every SKU, and the inputs that make it defensible.
Run the stage-gate process for launch: what has to be true, and who has to say so, before a product is released. Partner with Design and with Quality & Technical Standards to resolve buildability, cost, and compliance questions during development rather than after.Product Information & Data OwnershipOwn the product record end to end — creation at launch, accuracy through life, and disposition at retirement. Own the integrity of product data in QuickBooks, Cin7, and Airtable at birth: SKU structure, variant logic, BOM accuracy, attributes, and specifications.
Own spec sheets and the product-facing documentation the rest of the business works from. Own product change control: route changes, secure cross-functional agreement, and ensure every downstream system reflects the change. Establish the data standards and the governance that keeps the record accurate as volume grows.Product Management & LifecycleOwn the pricing stack — cost, retail, margin — and serve as the source of truth for the numbers behind it.
Manage product performance across the lifecycle: margin stability, cost drift, defect trends, age, and end-of-life cadence. Recommend rationalization, repricing, and retirement based on evidence. Partner with Merchandising and Sales on assortment decisions with the operational and cost picture attached.
