About The Position

Gibson Homewares is seeking an Account Project Manager to own the day-to-day execution of their off-price retail business. This role is ideal for an organized, proactive project manager who enjoys driving results across multiple departments and can represent the company professionally in front of major retail buyers. The Account Project Manager is responsible for translating buyer conversations into completed work by capturing action items from buyer meetings, coordinating with various internal departments (Product Development, Marketing, Creative, Order Management, and Purchasing) to advance projects, and providing clear, professional updates to buyers. This role requires actively pursuing tasks to completion rather than just logging requests.

• 4+ years of experience in project management, account management, or product coordination, ideally in consumer products or retail.
• Proven ability to manage many projects and deadlines simultaneously without letting anything slip.
• Comfortable following up persistently with internal teams and holding people accountable without direct authority.
• Confident, polished communicator in both written updates and live buyer interactions.
• Strong organizational skills; experience with project tracking tools or advanced Excel.
• Experience with ERP systems (Oracle preferred).

Nice To Haves

• Off-price retail experience (TJX, Ross, Burlington) is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Attend buyer meetings and document every product request, sample need, and follow-up item.
• Build and maintain a project tracker for all open account initiatives, including owners, deadlines, and status.
• Follow up consistently with Product Development, Marketing, and Creative to ensure pending projects progress and escalate when timelines are at risk.
• Manage new product development timelines and deliverables from concept through sample approval and final delivery.
• Prepare buyer-facing materials, such as line reviews, product presentations, and status recaps.
• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for buyers, providing timely, accurate, and professional communication.
• Prepare and manage sales quotations in Oracle and monitor order progress through Order Management and Purchasing.
• Identify recurring bottlenecks and recommend process improvements.
