Brand Operations Manager

About the Role

We're launching a new brand within our growing portfolio, and we're hiring the operator who will run it day to day. This is a ground-floor seat: you are the engine that turns a product roadmap into a launched, growing business — owning operations, project management, go-to-market execution, and the cross-functional coordination that keeps every workstream on schedule. You report directly to the CEO and act as the brand's general manager and integrator.

You don't need to be the deepest channel specialist — we have an ecommerce function and shared teams. What we need is the person who holds the whole thing together: the operating cadence, the launch calendar, the product and GTM work streams, and the revenue operations that make the brand actually run.

• Brand operations & operating cadence: Run the day-to-day — operating rhythm, weekly priorities, planning calendars, and the decisions that keep the brand moving. Bring recommendations to the CEO; the CEO is the approval forum.
• Project management & launch coordination: Own the integrated launch plan — a single critical-path calendar across product, supply, site, creative, and channel. Map dependencies, surface risks early, and land a clean launch with zero preventable day-one issues.
• Product management & go-to-market: Partner on the product roadmap and own GTM execution — launch sequencing, positioning into market, channel readiness, and the plan that gets product live and selling.
• Supply & launch timing: Coordinate with the co-manufacturer relationship and supply planning so inventory, launch, and promo calendars line up.
• Revenue operations: Own the systems and reporting that keep commerce running — order flow, channel and inventory sync, subscription mechanics, and the operating metrics leadership watches.
• Cross-functional coordination: Partner with web, creative, supply chain, ecommerce, and customer experience — many of them shared resources. Lock named bandwidth, keep work streams aligned, and resolve conflicts without direct authority.

• Fully onboarded on the brand, the product roadmap, the launch timeline, and the shared resources you'll coordinate.
• Owns the launch plan: a single integrated calendar across product, supply, site, creative, and channel, with clear critical-path milestones.
• Operating cadence with the CEO and cross-functional partners up and running.

• Every workstream tracking to the launch calendar; risks surfaced at check-ins, not at launch.
• Channel, site, and listing readiness coordinated and on schedule; revenue-operations plumbing in place.

• The brand running on a reliable operating rhythm — recommendations in, decisions out, momentum building.
• Revenue operations and reporting trusted and consistent.
• Product, supply, and GTM calendars synchronized for what comes next.

• You’re an operator and integrator — you turn roadmaps into shipped launches and keep many work streams on one calendar.
• Project management as a craft: critical-path thinking, dependency mapping, risk surfacing. You’ve run complex, cross-functional launches end-to-end.
• Product and GTM sense: you can take a product to market and sequence a launch, not just manage a process.
• Comfortable coordinating people you don't manage — you get things done through influence and clarity.
• Revenue-operations fluency: order flow, channel/inventory sync, subscriptions, and the metrics that matter.
• Hands‑on Shopify / Amazon experience is preferred, not required — operational range matters more here.
• You communicate to an executive in their language: concise, prioritized, decision-oriented.

• Reports to: CEO
• Scope: End-to-end operations, project management, GTM, and launch for a new brand in our portfolio
• Level: Senior / brand leadership
