About The Position

eJam is a consumer products brand incubator operating across direct-to-consumer e-commerce, Amazon and third-party marketplaces, and retail distribution. We move fast, stay lean, and build products consumers love. Every role here matters — and this one keeps the product engine running. The Product Development Coordinator is the operational hub of our product pipeline. You will manage the flow of information, track project status, coordinate across internal teams and external partners, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. This is not an ideation or strategy role. This is a coordination and execution role for someone who thrives on organization, follow-through, and keeping multiple projects moving simultaneously. You will maintain our project tracking systems, prepare materials for weekly product meetings, track RFQ processes with vendors, and serve as the central point of communication between sourcing, design, and external resources.
