Project Manager, Growth & Special Projects

Urrly • Los Angeles, CA

2d • $80,000 - $95,000 • Onsite

About The Position

This role is for an operator who can identify and drive high-priority growth projects within a fast-moving consumer-products business. The Project Manager will act as the internal "glue" for the CEO, transforming ideas, meetings, and cross-functional handoffs into clear plans with owners, deadlines, and completed work. The company is scaling rapidly and needs someone to reduce founder dependency by creating visibility, accountability, and momentum across key projects. This is a hands-on project management and business operations role, not an executive assistant position. The long-term ambition is to scale a major business unit from $10M to $100M over five years, with a growth path from Project Manager to Senior Project Manager to Strategic Project Manager.

Requirements

• Experience in project management, business operations, growth, account management, consulting, or another cross-functional role in a fast-moving company.
• Demonstrated capability, likely around 4–7 years into a career.
• Ability to show examples of managing multiple substantive projects from idea through completion.
• Highly organized with strong written communication, follow-through, documentation, and prioritization skills.
• Ability to turn ambiguity into a plan and move work forward with limited direction.
• Comfort respectfully pushing back, clarifying priorities, and holding peers or senior stakeholders accountable.
• Ability to move between detailed execution and strategic growth conversations without losing precision.
• Fluency with project-management tools, collaborative documents, spreadsheets, dashboards, and modern AI-enabled workflows.
• Desire for a long-term home where increasing responsibility can be earned by helping projects launch, grow, and get completed.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in consumer products, retail, ecommerce, marketplaces, brand management, product launches, or operations.
• Experience working directly with a founder, CEO, or senior executive through rapid growth or organizational change.
• Comfort coordinating with retailers, agencies, factories, attorneys, accountants, recruiters, finance partners, and other external stakeholders.
• Evidence of having grown quickly in prior roles and taken on responsibilities beyond the original job description.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a clear priority dashboard across growth initiatives, product launches, retail, omnichannel, marketing, operations, finance, recruiting, partnerships, and special projects.
• Turn verbal direction, meetings, emails, notes, and open loops into actions with an owner, deadline, blocker, and expected result.
• Run a disciplined daily and weekly cadence around priorities, active projects, decisions, risks, and next steps.
• Prepare concise project briefs, decision points, status updates, and recommended next actions for the CEO.
• Help distinguish what is urgent, what is important, what should move now, and what should be pushed later.
• Maintain a current view of priority projects, including scope, owner, timeline, dependencies, risks, and next action.
• Create agendas, project plans, decision logs, and follow-up trackers that make work easier to execute.
• Hold assigned owners accountable for commitments and deadlines with professionalism and tact.
• Escalate missed deliverables, unclear ownership, blocked work, and meaningful risks early.
• Step in to coordinate resources, unblock next steps, and keep projects moving without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Coordinate initiatives across retail, ecommerce, marketing, product development, design, shipping, warehouse, operations, finance, legal, recruiting, agencies, and external partners.
• Keep product launches moving from product selection and revisions through production, inbound goods, photography/assets, packaging, team communication, and launch readiness.
• Maintain visibility into retailer deliverables, packaging timelines, agency work, contracts, recruiting needs, financial reviews, and executive-level projects.
• Identify stalled work early, clarify who owns the next step, and drive resolution before delays turn into lost momentum or revenue.
• Create lightweight processes and SOPs where recurring work currently depends on memory, informal follow-up, or founder intervention.
• Synthesize competing inputs into short, decision-ready summaries that separate facts, assumptions, risks, and recommendations.
• Track decisions and make sure downstream communication and execution happen.
• Maintain organized records for strategic plans, products, partners, launches, customer issues, organizational planning, and key projects.
• Notice patterns such as repeated bottlenecks, missed commitments, unclear ownership, or unnecessary CEO involvement, then recommend practical fixes.

Benefits

• Target cash compensation is $80,000–$85,000 base salary plus a $10,000 guaranteed first-year bonus.
• Expected total compensation range is USD 80,000–95,000 Yearly.
• Response within 24 hours.
