About the role
- Product Manager at Fittes focusing on the lifecycle management of physical products. Collaborating across teams to enhance product performance and execute strategic initiatives.
Responsibilities
- Own the full post-concept product lifecycle, including launch execution, performance monitoring, and end-of-life decisions.
- Act as the internal product advocate, ensuring alignment and visibility across brand, marketing, sales, and operations.
- Monitor product and inventory performance, identifying opportunities to accelerate movement, reposition, or exit underperforming SKUs.
- Apply a strong commercial lens to prioritize where to invest, relaunch, or discontinue products.
- Manage strategic relationships with third-party vendors and manufacturers to ensure quality, reliability, and delivery standards.
- Drive vendor accountability through clear expectations, performance metrics, and ongoing partnership management.
- Lead and project-manage cross-functional product initiatives such as relaunches, repositioning, and end-of-life transitions.
- Translate insights and decisions into clear actions, aligning teams toward shared outcomes.
- Bring structure to ambiguity by creating, improving, and scaling repeatable product and operational processes.
- Serve as a key point of coordination across teams when priorities shift or challenges arise.

Requirements
- Have 5+ years of experience in product management, product operations, procurement, or sales strategy and you’re excited by roles that blend strategy with execution
- Have worked with physical products (think steel, plastic, manufacturing environments) and understand the realities of quality, sourcing, and production. This role is not a fit for candidates with tech/SaaS-only product experience
- Have been hands-on in product launches and lifecycle decisions, including making (and executing) the call to reposition, rationalize, or retire SKUs when it’s time
- Love turning messy data into a clear direction. You're deeply comfortable in Excel or Google Sheets, can run your own analyses (like aged inventory), and use insights to drive action
- Enjoy being the connector across teams, collaborating with product, marketing, sales, and operations to move work forward
- Are equally comfortable being a doer and a strategic thinker, you don’t wait for perfect conditions to start
- Know how to influence without authority, aligning indirect stakeholders like brand partners, ops teams, and external vendors
- Thrive in environments with ambiguity and momentum, and genuinely enjoy building new processes, taking ownership, and figuring things out as you go
Benefits
- Pay-for-performance profit-sharing bonus structure
- Flexible and inclusive benefits including HSA
- Employee Stock Option Plan
