About the Business

We are a fast-growing global product development business specialising in trend-led consumer products across multiple categories. Our team predicts trends, designs commercially successful ranges, sources globally, manages quality and compliance, and delivers finished products to major retailers and distributors worldwide.

As the business continues to scale internationally, we are investing in our Product Management function to support structured, commercially driven and scalable product development.

The Role

This Product Manager role owns the end-to-end development of assigned product ranges — from initial concept through to production readiness. You will be responsible for ensuring products are delivered on time, on budget and aligned to customer briefs, market requirements and brand strategy.

Working cross-functionally with Creative, Sourcing, Operations, Quality and Sales, you will act as the commercial and operational owner of your ranges, balancing innovation with feasibility and margin.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Creative to ensure designs are executable at scale
  • Partner with Sourcing and Operations on supplier selection and production readiness
  • Liaise with Quality and Compliance to ensure regulatory requirements are met
  • Support Sales and Customer teams with accurate product information and timelines

Supplier & Stakeholder Management

  • Act as the primary product contact for suppliers during development
  • Manage sampling, revisions and approval processes
  • Maintain clear documentation and communication across teams

Process & Growth Support

  • Contribute to improving product development systems, templates and workflows
  • Support the transition to more scalable, structured product processes
  • Provide guidance to junior team members as the function grows

Skills & Experience

Essential

  • 4–7+ years' experience in Product Management or Product Development
  • Experience working with offshore manufacturing (Asia and/or Europe)
  • Strong understanding of costings, margins and production constraints
  • Proven ability to manage multiple products and timelines concurrently
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
  • Confident communicator across creative and operational teams

Highly Regarded

  • Experience within homewares, beauty, lifestyle or FMCG categories
  • Exposure to major retailers, distributors or private-label development
  • Experience managing product ranges across multiple markets

Personal Attributes

  • Commercially minded with strong problem-solving skills
  • Calm under pressure and comfortable managing complexity
  • Proactive, accountable and solutions-focused
  • Collaborative, yet decisive
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, growing environment

Why Apply
