About The Position

We are looking for a Product Delivery Manager who thrives on execution, coordination, and getting complex work across the finish line. This role partners closely with the Product Strategy (Discovery) team and the Order Engineering team, serving as the owner of the Product Delivery function. The position leads the operational delivery of New Product Introductions (NPI), ensuring products move successfully from development to launch. The role is responsible for managing timelines, coordinating cross-functional activities, and ensuring new products are fully prepared for launch. This includes overseeing product readiness across testing, documentation, configuration, training, and organizational handoff. Working closely with Product Development, Design, Engineering, Operations, Purchasing, Sourcing, Marketing, and Sales teams, this leader ensures that all operational requirements are met and that new products are successfully integrated into the business. The role drives alignment across functions, proactively resolves launch risks, and ensures a smooth transition from product development to ongoing operational ownership. This role is not the primary product visionary or lead engineer. Instead, you are the person who brings structure, accountability, urgency, and follow-through to the process. You know how to keep teams moving. You ask the hard follow-up questions. You identify risks early. You hold timelines together. Around here, launch readiness matters and this role helps make sure we get there.
