About The Position

Manly Bands is seeking a Product Director to own product end-to-end across their brands, Manly Bands and Rosie Ray, and future product lines. The ideal candidate is passionate about product, organized, opinionated, and ego-free. This role involves concept development, line planning, sampling, licensing approvals, and production handoff. The Product Director will report to a Co-CEO and will be responsible for bringing structure and instinct to a fast-moving, founder-led business. The company has a history of creating unique wedding rings and is expanding its product offerings.

Requirements

Strong e-commerce background, including hands-on experience designing products and managing the projects that get them to market.
Director or Senior Product Management experience of 3 years or more.
You’re a team player, fun to hang with, creative, who is collaborative, but with wonderful project management skills.
A track record as a senior project manager, product lead, or head of a product department — you've run this before at a level of scale that matters.
Highly organized, with the discipline to keep multiple product lines and specialists moving without dropping a thread.
Experienced and confident — but ego-free. You lead by making the work better, not by being the loudest voice in the room.
Flexible and adaptable, genuinely open to input and feedback, and quick to change course when the feedback is good.
Both creative and structured — ideally you lean structured, with sharp creative instincts layered on top.
A real love for the product and brand space. You want to go deeper into product, not use this as a launchpad into broader operations.
Comfortable operating in both scrappy, small-business environments and larger, more established organizations.

Nice To Haves

Experience managing licensing relationships or co-branded/licensed product lines.
A merchandising background — assortment, pricing, or on-site presentation.
Wholesale & retail experience
Product design experience in men's accessories, wedding, or jewelry categories.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end product lifecycle across Manly Bands, Rosie Ray, and future product lines — concept, line planning, sampling, approvals, production handoff, and culling.
Build and manage product roadmaps that balance new launches, seasonal collections, and licensed partnerships against timeline and margin realities.
Lead, coach, and grow a team of two product specialists — setting priorities, unblocking their work, and building the muscle for a bigger team down the line.
Partner with design, sourcing, merchandising, and marketing to turn concepts into products that are both distinctive and commercially sound.
Bring real structure to product development — timelines, specs, sample tracking, approval workflows, QA checkpoints — without flattening the creativity that makes our product different.
Manage licensing relationships and partner approvals for co-branded collections, keeping execution on-brand and on schedule.
Assist in our wholesale and retail program as we onboard new retailers and stores.
Own on-site merchandising strategy: product presentation, pricing architecture, and assortment planning across collections.
Use sales, margin, and customer feedback data to decide what to build next, what to retire, and what to double down on.
Be open to ideas from the broader organization in product brainstorming instead of designing in a vacuum. Run the sessions that make that input useful.
Manage development budgets and timelines across multiple SKUs and collections running at once.
Represent product in leadership conversations — translate the roadmap and the reasoning behind it for the Co-CEOs and cross-functional partners.
