By normalizing health & wellness challenges and innovating on their solutions, we’re making better health outcomes easier to achieve.

About the Role:

Hims & Hers is seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented R&D Innovation Program Manager to oversee and coordinate innovation-focused R&D projects for our 503a and 503b compounding pharmaceutical facilities. This mid-level role will be responsible for managing project timelines, resource allocation, and team collaboration to ensure successful execution of cutting-edge research and development initiatives.

This role will support both the Innovation R&D team and will be embedded within the fast-growing Operations & Innovation Program Management Office (PMO), reporting to the Director of Innovation Program Management (PMO).

The ideal candidate has exceptional written and verbal communication, strong project management skills, an understanding of R&D and innovation processes within compounding, pharma, cosmetics, OTC, or supplements, a positive and solutions-oriented thinker, and the ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

This role will be responsible for managing teams remotely as well as on-site. This is a remote role with regular travel (up to 25% of the time) to our compounding pharmacies located in Gilbert, Arizona, and Columbus, Ohio.

You will:

• Support Innovation Execution: Project manage multiple concurrent R&D innovation initiatives, ensuring cross-functional alignment with defined timelines, budgets, and milestones.

• Coordinate Key Workstreams: Assist with the planning and tracking of activities across benchtop formulation, pilot testing, equipment and tooling, lab operations, and production readiness.

• Maintain Project Plans: Build and manage detailed timelines and schedules, coordinating deliverables across R&D, Engineering, Operations, Product, Quality, Supply Chain, and Marketing teams.

• Facilitate Team Communication: Schedule and lead meetings, track action items, and share status updates to help ensure project clarity and transparency across stakeholder groups.

• Monitor Progress and Risks: Track project performance against key milestones, flag potential delays or bottlenecks, and work with stakeholders to help resolve issues efficiently.

• Ensure Cross-Functional Collaboration: Liaise between departments to keep project teams aligned on scope, goals, and execution needs — especially when supporting innovation efforts that require cross-team input and signoff.

• Standardize Innovation Workflows: Support the development and refinement of project management templates, tools, and best practices to improve team efficiency and repeatability.

• Support Launch Coordination: Help organize and track the cross-functional work required for launch readiness, including documentation, training materials, and internal communication.

You Have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, Business, or a related field; a Master’s degree is a plus.

• 5+ years of project management experience, preferably in an R&D or innovation environment.

• Strong understanding of product development lifecycles and innovation methodologies within compounding, pharma, cosmetics, OTC, or supplement R&D.

• Proficiency in project management tools such as Jira, Asana, Trello, or MS Project.

• Excellent organizational, leadership, and communication skills.

• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and adapt to changing priorities.

• Experience working with Agile, Scrum, or Stage-Gate methodologies is a plus.

Our Benefits (there are more but here are some highlights):

• Competitive salary & equity compensation for full-time roles.

• Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and quarterly mental health days.

• Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental & vision, and parental leave.

• Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP).

• 401k benefits with employer matching contribution.

• Offsite team retreats.

We are committed to building a workforce that reflects diverse perspectives and prioritizes ethics, wellness, and a strong sense of belonging. If you're excited about this role, we encourage you to apply—even if you're not sure if your background or experience is a perfect match.
