JR Product Development Manager

Adecco Creative & Marketing is teaming up with a national gifting brand known for its creative, design-driven products to hire a Junior Product Development Manager! This is a hands‑on opportunity to combine your love of design with your organizational superpowers—playing a key role in bringing beautifully crafted, thoughtfully packaged products from concept to shelf.

Location: Kensington / Brooklyn, NY (Hybrid – 3 days onsite)

You’ll be the go‑to connector between design, sales, and production—keeping projects moving smoothly while ensuring every detail is polished, accurate, and on brand (extra kudos if you can spot a typo in French).

• Partner closely with the design team to proof, review, and refine packaging artwork
• Collaborate with sales teams and overseas factories to manage timelines, costs, and production details
• Support sourcing, sampling, and product development from early concept through final production
• Write, organize, and maintain detailed product specs (materials, finishes, dimensions, and more)
• Track factory costing sheets and assist with retailer presentations
• Contribute design feedback, trend research, and inspiration for future collections

• 3–4 years of hands‑on experience in product development, sourcing, or production
• Strong organizational and communication skills—you’re proactive, detail‑oriented, and thrive in a fast‑paced environment
• Solid proficiency in Excel and Power Point
• Bilingual French/English skills are a big plus, especially for packaging review and proofing

If you’re excited to grow your product development career while working with a collaborative, creative team that values great design and thoughtful details, we’d love to hear from you!
