About Rumpl
Rumpl makes comfort perform, redefining how people relax outdoors, at home, and everywhere in between. We invented the modern outdoor blanket and continue to lead the category through technical innovation, bold design, and storytelling that sparks connection.
We’re builders at heart. We move fast, test often, and care deeply about the details behind every product we make, from the materials and construction to the colors, prints, and finishes that make Rumpl unmistakably Rumpl.
About the Role
Rumpl is looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented Product Development Coordinator, Color & Print to support the execution of seasonal and in-line product development.
This is an entry-level, hands-on role for someone with a strong eye for color, print, and visual detail who is excited to learn how consumer products move from concept to production. You’ll work closely with Product, Creative, and external vendor partners to keep color and print workflows accurate, organized, and moving forward on time.
You’ll help bring Rumpl’s color and print stories to life through CADs, renders, lab dips, strike-offs, and clean development documentation. You’ll also support broader product-development work by helping ensure samples, supporting assets, and product details are ready before bulk production.
What You’ll Do
Graphic Pre-Production, Print Development, and GTM Asset Creation
- Develop seasonal colorway CADs for carryover franchises in Adobe Illustrator
- Create photorealistic renders in Adobe Photoshop for all colorways
- Coordinate strike-off requests with suppliers and review submissions for color accuracy, registration, scale, and resolution
- Compile and communicate consolidated feedback to vendors
- Track and provide visibility into print development progress and revisions through final approval
Color Development
- Maintain the seasonal color tracker, including Pantone codes, franchise allocation, and colorways
- Request, track, and manage lab dips with suppliers, comparing results against Pantone standards
- Consolidate feedback and communicate revisions to vendors
- Organize and maintain physical color standards and approved swatches
- Translate color direction into digital (ASE files, CADs) and physical tools (swatch boards)
Documentation, Archive, and Systems Accuracy
- Maintain accurate color and print data across PLM/PIM systems and shared drives
- Log and organize approved lab dips and strike-offs
- Ensure consistent naming conventions and version control, digital and physical
- Cross-check tech packs for color and print accuracy
- Maintain seasonal and historical archives of color and print assets
Cross-functional Communication and Coordination
- Send clear, consolidated color and print feedback to vendors
- Maintain organized communication threads by season and product franchise
- Provide regular updates on development status to internal teams
- Flag artwork concerns, risks, and timeline impacts early, with proposed solutions
- Partner with Marketing to ensure designs, color, and print align with brand voice, audience, and positioning
Product Development Support
- Assist with the preparation of product supporting assets, including packaging, labeling, and UPCs
- Review proto, SMS, and pre-production samples for alignment to approved specs and intent
- Identify and flag discrepancies across materials, construction, color, and execution
- Support final readiness checks prior to bulk production
What You’ll Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in design, product development, soft goods technical development, or a related field; equivalent experience will also be considered
- Internship, coursework, freelance, or early-career experience supporting product development, design, or consumer products preferred
- A sense of aesthetics and color/print trends, paired with an analytical understanding of what drives broad commercial appeal in consumer products.
- High proficiency in Adobe Illustrator required
- Working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop required
- Familiarity with Pantone standards and color-management workflows preferred
- Exposure to apparel, soft goods, outdoor, or consumer-product development is a plus
- Understanding of textile construction, print methods, or color application is a plus
- Experience with PLM systems, OnBrand, or similar platforms is helpful but not required
- Comfort working in Google Sheets or Excel
How You Work
- You notice the small things: a mislabeled file, off-color lab dip, or print that is slightly out of scale does not slip past you
- You are organized by nature and enjoy creating systems that make work easier for everyone
- You can manage multiple detailed workstreams and deadlines at once
- You communicate clearly and turn feedback into concise, actionable next steps
- You are curious, resourceful, and willing to ask questions until you understand the full picture
- You take ownership of your work and follow through
- You are excited to build practical expertise in color, print, and product development over time
What This Role Is, and Isn’t
This Is
- A hands-on, early-career role with meaningful exposure to the full product-development process
- A strong opportunity to build technical skills in product development, color, print, sample review, and production readiness
- A detail-heavy role for someone who enjoys both visual creativity and operational execution
- A collaborative role working closely with Product, Creative, and supplier partners
This Is Not
- A product strategy or seasonal line-planning role
- The owner of final design vision, print direction, or color strategy
- A purely creative role without execution, systems, and documentation responsibilities
- A role expected to independently resolve complex development tradeoffs without support
