Summary Generated by Built In

Keep every product on time, on budget, and on everyone's radar, from first concept to launch.

We're looking for a product-focused Project Manager to keep product development organized for a consumer products e-commerce business. You'll own costing, pricing, timelines, and project plans. You'll also be the bridge between our China-based product team and Sales, so everyone knows where each product stands and when it's coming. This is a product development role, not a software, IT, or factory operations role.

Location: Brazil - Fully Remote

Your Mission: Day to Day Responsibilities

  • Own and maintain the product cost calculator, including materials, manufacturing, packaging, freight, and landed costs.

  • Build and update pricing models to support margin targets and sales decisions.

  • Create and manage product development timelines and Gantt charts across multiple projects.

  • Coordinate daily with the China team to track samples, approvals, revisions, and production milestones.

  • Keep Sales updated on product status, launch dates, costs, and changes.

  • Flag delays, cost changes, and risks early, and propose solutions.

  • Organize project documentation, trackers, and status reports.

  • Run regular check-ins to keep stakeholders aligned and decisions moving.

  • Improve processes and tools so product development runs smoothly as the portfolio grows.

Your Toolbox: Skills to be Successful

  • Project management experience in consumer product development, ideally physical goods sold through retail or e-commerce.

  • Experience managing product timelines from concept through sampling, production, and launch.

  • Strong understanding of product costing, pricing, and margins.

  • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills: you're comfortable building and maintaining cost models.

  • Experience building Gantt charts and project plans (Smartsheet, Monday, Asana, MS Project, or similar).

  • Experience working with overseas suppliers or manufacturing teams, especially in China, is a strong plus.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication; you keep busy teams informed without being asked.

  • Highly organized and comfortable juggling many products at different stages.

  • Background in software, IT, or localization project management alone is not a fit for this role.
