📋 Description

• Independently manage master timelines for the NPD portfolio, including new formulas, formula renovations, displays, merchandise, and kits, from concept through regulatory clearance, packaging, testing, and production handoff. • Serve as the day-to-day cross-functional partner to Product Development, aligning Product Marketing, Regulatory, Quality, Packaging, Procurement, and Operations. • Run the Product Council cadence, including agendas, timelines, open decisions, go/no-go decisions, and prioritization calls. • Monitor vendor and lab milestones, including formulation trials, stability and clinical testing, packaging tooling, and production runs. • Track and escalate risks and dependencies, flagging tradeoffs to leadership with clear recommendations. • Maintain the single source of truth for launch status, timelines, budgets, sample tracking, and approval sign-offs. • Manage FDA OTC monograph and compliance checkpoints with Regulatory and Quality. • Partner with Product Marketing to align launch dates, claims, go-to-market milestones, retailer commit dates, and packaging lead times. • Coordinate with Finance, Planning, and Procurement on inventory and production scheduling. • Run scenario analysis for timeline risks and present options to the Product Council. • Continuously improve launch processes through better templates, stage gates, and handoffs.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a related field. • 5-7 years project management experience in product development within skincare, cosmetics or consumer packaged goods. • Real, working understanding of the complexities of OTC product development, including FDA monograph requirements, testing and documentation timelines, and how regulatory milestones shape and constrain the master timeline. • A track record of project managing complex, multi-workstream launches from concept to shelf, with real ownership of timelines and cross-functional accountability. • Sharp organizational instincts: you build the system before you need it, and you know the difference between a risk worth escalating and noise. • Strong stakeholder management: you can hold a formulator, a packaging vendor, and a co-founder accountable to the same date, in the tone each one needs. • Fluency in Asana plus Excel/Sheets and slide decks sharp enough for leadership readouts. • A bias toward clear, low-drama communication: you'd rather over-communicate a slipping date than surprise anyone with one. • Assertive in your communication style. • Excited to grow Vacation® into a household name and have fun in the process. • You use sunscreen.
