Product Development Manager; Consumer Products

In 2007, Suzy Bátiz created Poo~Pourri, a natural, effective solution to a universal problem: sh
* t happens… and it stinks. Since then, Poo~Pourri has rapidly grown to become way more than just an odor eliminating product. Poo~Pourri sparked a shift in bathroom routines, a shift in how things “should” be done, and a shift in company culture. We’re a company of fast-paced rule-breakers on a mission to find new paths to personal freedom.

In 2021, Poo~Pourri busted out of the bathroom and evolved into ~Pourri: a purveyor of odor eliminators designed to make your home, body, and life smell wayyy better, naturally. Today, our growing portfolio of personal care, air care, and odor‑eliminating products furthers our mission to bring levity to a world weighed down by toxic odors, stigmas, and ingredients.

Along the way, our gutsy marketing tactics have earned us numerous accolades, including AdAge’s Funniest Viral Video of the Year, Webby Awards, and more. In a world full of rules, playing it safe, and “that can’t be done,” ~Pourri doesn’t subscribe to that crap. We dream differently. Want to come play with us?

We are seeking a Product Development Manager to help keep our innovation pipeline flowing by managing new product initiatives from concept through commercialization. This role combines product development, project management, market research, and cross-functional collaboration to bring new ideas to life across our personal care and air care categories. You'll work closely with suppliers, fragrance houses, contract manufacturers, and internal teams to keep projects moving, launches on track, and product initiatives from getting stuck in the pipeline.

The ideal candidate has experience launching consumer products within a CPG environment and thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial company where priorities shift, ideas move quickly, and everybody wears multiple hats. While product development is the primary focus, familiarity with product labeling, SDS documentation, and regulatory compliance is highly desirable. We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, bring structure and accountability to our product development efforts, and help keep launches moving from concept through commercialization.

• Manage New Product Development (NPD) projects from concept through commercialization.
• Own project timelines and help keep cross-functional teams aligned throughout the product development process.
• Coordinate with suppliers, fragrance houses, testing partners, and contract manufacturers to ensure projects stay on schedule.
• Research market trends, competitive products, retailer needs, pricing opportunities, and packaging considerations to support innovation initiatives.
• Translate product ideas into actionable launch plans with clear recommendations around positioning, pricing, packaging, and commercialization.
• Partner closely with Marketing, Sales, Operations, Sourcing, Purchasing, Customer Service, and external partners throughout the development cycle.
• Develop and maintain relationships with vendors while communicating essential information to support successful launches.
• Review and summarize product research, ingredient information, and clinical studies as needed.
• Participate in brainstorming sessions and contribute to innovation strategy and future product opportunities.
• Track project status, communicate updates, identify risks, and proactively solve problems before they become roadblocks.
• Help bring structure, organization, and accountability to product development efforts.

• Support SDS documentation and product labeling activities as needed.
• Coordinate responses to product claims, ingredient questions, allergen inquiries, and compliance-related requests.
• Partner with external fragrance houses, legal resources, and manufacturing partners to gather regulatory information when needed.
• Maintain awareness of changing regulations, labeling requirements, and product stewardship considerations impacting our products.
• Support certification efforts including Leaping Bunny, Vegan, B-Corp, and other relevant programs.
