Pulse Trading Cards is an independent trading card and collectibles company that designs, produces, and sells sports trading card products direct-to-consumer through a Shopify-powered online store. Pulse offers hobby boxes, blaster boxes, on-demand on-card autographs, and specialty sets (for baseball, football, basketball) including holographic “Aura” releases and branded collaborations (e. g. , Pulse x Big League Chew). The company emphasizes premium materials and print quality, prioritizes on-card autographs when possible, provides worldwide shipping and customer service, and notes its products are not official league-licensed items.

📋 Description

• Own the product direction and release roadmap for assigned brands, sports, or licensed properties. • Define brand audiences, positioning, signature features, and portfolio placement. • Develop product concepts, inserts, parallels, autograph programs, and chase cards. • Plan product evolution across releases and recommend timing, formats, quantities, and channel configurations. • Build and maintain detailed checklists, configuration models, and product-development workbooks. • Define set content, numbering, autograph content, and pack, box, and case structures. • Calculate quantities, autograph requirements, insertion rates, and allocation needs. • Reconcile checklist quantities, serial-numbered content, production totals, and product guarantees. • Coordinate with Athlete Partnerships and Autograph Operations regarding rights, inventory, and signing timelines. • Identify shortages, conflicting allocations, and configuration issues and recommend solutions. • Develop product budgets and evaluate effects of print runs, content, materials, and configurations on margins and collector experience. • Partner with Sales on formats and quantities for hobby, retail, and direct-to-consumer channels. • Review release performance, sell-through, collector feedback, and product issues. • Write product briefs covering concepts, checklist structures, insert themes, photography, copy, and design requirements. • Collaborate with Creative, Project Management, Operations, licensing stakeholders, Sales, Marketing, and company leadership. • Review designs and provide product details, selling points, checklist information, and configuration summaries for launch materials. • Develop reusable templates and standards, connect product data and production requirements, and use Excel, automation, and AI tools to improve efficiency. • Manage multiple releases, surface risks early, and follow decisions through completion.

🎯 Requirements

• Typically 5+ years of relevant product-development or brand-management experience, including direct responsibility for trading-card or closely related collectible releases. • Demonstrated ability to take physical products from concept through detailed development and launch. • Deep understanding of trading cards, collector behavior, checklists, parallels, autographs, scarcity, and hobby versus retail configurations. • Advanced Excel skills, including lookups, SUMIFS, pivot tables, data validation, and structured models with reliable error checks. • Strong mathematical reasoning and comfort working with quantities, probabilities, allocation models, budgets, and gross margins. • The ability to create distinctive product concepts and translate them into precise, executable specifications. • Excellent attention to detail, organization, and written communication. • A record of managing competing deadlines, making informed decisions, and owning outcomes. • The ability to work independently in a remote environment and collaborate consistently with a team operating primarily on Eastern Time. • Direct product-development experience at a trading-card manufacturer. • Ownership of autograph-driven sports products or licensed entertainment collectibles. • Experience developing products for both hobby distribution and major retail channels. • Familiarity with licensor approvals, specialty printing, foil treatments, die cuts, premium packaging, and collation. • Experience improving product-development systems using Power Query, databases, workflow automation, or similar tools. • Strong knowledge of baseball, basketball, football, or entertainment properties, with the ability to learn new categories.

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote work with a collaborative team operating primarily on Eastern Time. • Direct collaboration with the CEO and company leadership. • Meaningful creative influence over the products we create and the brands we build. • Hands-on ownership of assigned brands and product lines, from initial concept through launch. • The opportunity to shape an expanding portfolio of sports, entertainment, and licensed collectibles. • The ability to improve the tools, systems, and processes behind a growing trading-card manufacturer.
