    Associate Product Manager (Must be Bilingual English/Spanish)

     

    We’re looking for a **curious, analytical, and driven Associate Product Manager** to help shape the future of our core product lines. This role is ideal for someone eager to learn every facet of product management — from concept to commercialization — in a fast-paced consumer packaged goods (CPG) environment. You’ll collaborate across Marketing, Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain to bring new ideas to market and optimize our existing portfolio.

    What You Will Do

    + **Drive Product Development:** Support the creation of new products from idea to prototype, managing timelines and coordinating early manufacturing samples.

    + **Execute Go-to-Market Plans:** Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless product launches — aligning packaging, marketing assets, and inventory readiness for success.

    + **Be the Cross-Functional Connector:** Act as the hub between Sales, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to clarify requirements, solve problems, and ensure flawless execution.

    + **Ensure Data Accuracy:** Maintain complete and accurate product master data — including SKUs and Bills of Materials (BOM) — within the ERP system.

    + **Analyze and Improve:** Track performance, gather insights, and make data-driven recommendations to enhance product positioning and operational efficiency.

    + **Champion Operational Excellence:** Continuously look for ways to streamline product workflows, improve visibility, and support the long-term success of the product portfolio.

    What You Will Need

    + **Education:** Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Engineering, or a related field.

    + **Must be Bilingual English/Spanish**

    + 10 to15 years of High Volume Manufacturing experience.

    + 1–2 years of experience in product or brand management, ideally within a CPG or manufacturing environment.

    + Hands-on experience supporting new product launches, from concept to commercialization.

    + **Technical Skills:**

    + Strong Excel capabilities (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and large dataset analysis).

    + Experience maintaining data accuracy within ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, or similar).

    + **Communication:** Excellent written and verbal skills, with the ability to translate technical details into clear business insights.

    + **Mindset:** Highly organized, detail-oriented, and resourceful — able to thrive in a dynamic environment where collaboration and initiative are key.

    Preferred Skills

    + Familiarity with the New Product Introduction (NPI) process in a manufacturing or CPG setting.

    + Understanding of packaging, design, and retail merchandising best practices.

    + Data visualization or reporting experience (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) is a plus.

    Why Join Us

    + **Impact:** Own meaningful projects from day one and see your work influence products on shelves nationwide.

    + **Growth:** Build the foundation for a long-term product management career with clear advancement opportunities.

    + **Collaboration:** Work in an innovative, team-driven environment where your ideas matter.

    + **Stability:** Join a well-established, industry-leading company with a reputation for quality and innovation.
