You will coordinate Product Development, Supply Chain, Quality & Regulatory, Marketing, and Finance to execute a cohesive go‑to‑market strategy.

This role requires 6+ years in project management and commercialization, with strong governance, planning, and risk-management skills, all in a remote US‑based environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, project management, operations, supply chain, or a related field preferred; additional relevant professional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• 6+ years of progressive experience in project management, commercialization, new product development, product launch, or a related function, including independently leading complex cross-functional initiatives
• Experience owning or significantly contributing to structured commercialization, new product development, or StageGate processes
• Demonstrated ability to operate with substantial autonomy, navigate ambiguity, and independently resolve complex project and cross-functional challenges
• Strong ability to influence decisions, create accountability, challenge assumptions, and move work forward across teams and senior stakeholders without direct reporting authority

Responsibilities

• Lead complex, cross-functional commercialization initiatives for new products, product updates, packaging changes, and other innovation projects from approved concept through launch and closeout
• Own integrated commercialization plans for each project, including master timelines, milestones, critical paths, dependencies, owners, risk profiles, and launch-readiness requirements
• Own and continuously strengthen StageGate governance and cadence across the commercialization portfolio, ensuring required information, milestones, functional approvals, and decisions are in place before projects advance
• Serve as a commercialization subject‑matter resource and trusted partner to functional leaders, providing structure, guidance, and recommendations on complex project and process challenges
• Facilitate commercialization and StageGate meetings, driving clear decisions, accountability, follow‑through, and timely escalation across cross‑functional stakeholders
• Coordinate launch readiness across Product Development, manufacturing, inventory, packaging procurement, Quality & Regulatory, eCommerce, Customer Service, Marketing, Finance, and other functions while teams retain ownership of their respective work
• Partner closely with Marketing Operations to align commercialization plans with the marketing launch plan, calendar, inventory readiness, creative dependencies, and launch timing
• Maintain project risk registers and proactively assess complex risks, blockers, resource constraints, and trade‑offs, independently driving resolution where appropriate and escalating material business decisions when needed
• Evaluate cross‑functional inputs and recommend whether projects should continue, pause, be re‑scoped, postponed, accelerated, or reconsidered based on commercialization viability and business impact
• Maintain portfolio‑level visibility across commercialization initiatives, providing leadership with clear, decision‑ready insights into project health, progress, risks, resource constraints, dependencies, and opportunities to reprioritize work
• Drive go/no‑go readiness by ensuring leaders and functional owners have the appropriate information, recommendations, approvals, and risk visibility required to make sound decisions
• Identify and implement improvements to commercialization systems, workflows, StageGate criteria, templates, governance practices, and cross‑functional ways of working to improve speed, clarity, and execution reliability
• Lead commercialization retrospectives and translate lessons learned into scalable process improvements across future projects and the broader innovation portfolio
