Manage vendor relationships, development timelines, and approvals.
What We're Looking For:
5+ years of product development, sourcing, or merchandising experience within home, consumer products, or related categories.
Experience developing products from concept through production.
Strong knowledge of materials, construction, costing, and manufacturing.
Experience working with overseas factories, vendors, and suppliers.

Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
