· Translate licensing requirements and style guides into manufacturable products while maintaining brand accuracy

· Work closely with licensing, sales, and creative teams to align product strategy with market opportunities and retailer needs

· Identify and execute on emerging product and pop culture trends, bringing new ideas proactively to the team

Compliance, Packaging & Pre-Production Oversight

· Review presentations, packaging, and product samples for accuracy, compliance, and brand alignment, providing clear feedback and direction for revisions
Create and maintain pre-shipment checklists for all customers, including building new checklists for new accounts, reviewing vendor manual updates, and updating existing checklists on a regular cadence

· Manage pre-shipment approval processes for both domestic and international production, including daily compliance reviews prior to goods leaving the factory

· Coordinate quality control and testing processes in partnership with internal teams and third-party labs

· Work directly with testing and compliance partners including ITS, V-Trust, FDA, USDA, CPSC, and other regulatory bodies as needed

· Ensure all packaging and products meet legal and retailer requirements including labeling, warnings, UPCs, battery information, and required compliance markings

· Oversee and track all required testing for U.S., U.K., and other applicable markets, ensuring products meet all regulatory standards prior to shipment

· Stay current on evolving compliance requirements and retailer standards through ongoing research and participation in industry workshops

Operational Execution

· Oversee the full sampling process including prototyping, revisions, and final approvals

· Troubleshoot production challenges and implement solutions quickly without disrupting timelines

· Maintain detailed tracking of projects, approvals, costing, compliance status, and production progress across multiple SKUs simultaneously

· Travel as needed to factories, trade shows, and partner meetings

Required Skills & Experience

· 5+ years in product development, sourcing, or manufacturing within consumer products, preferably in licensed or pop culture categories

· Proven experience working with overseas factories and vendors

· Experience with domestic consumables sourcing and purchasing, including understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements

· Strong working knowledge of product testing, compliance standards, and retail/vendor manuals

· Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities

· Strong negotiation skills with demonstrated success improving cost structures and terms

· Deep understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and product construction across multiple categories

· Exceptional organizational skills with strong attention to detail

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including ability to interface with licensors, factories, testing labs, and internal teams

· High level of accountability with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset

· Willingness and availability to travel as required

What Will Set You Apart

· Strong instinct for product trends and pop culture relevance

· Ability to balance speed with structure and maintain momentum across multiple timelines

· Natural focus on margins and cost optimization without sacrificing quality

· Strong product intuition with the ability to improve concepts for manufacturability and retail success

· Resilience under pressure with the ability to adapt quickly and make decisions in real time

· A strong sense of taste and understanding of what will resonate with fans and retailers

Optional but High Value

· Experience with novelty or impulse-driven products

· Existing factory and vendor relationships

· Trade show experience such as Toy Fair or ASD

· Familiarity with major retailer compliance requirements

· Experience working with major licensors
