    Description

    Role Overview

    HART is seeking a highly strategic, execution-driven Product Development Manager to own and scale our end-to-end product development function across jewelry, packaging, components, and collateral. This is a high-impact, individual-contributor leadership role designed for someone who thrives on building structure, improving processes, and driving operational excellence in a fast-growing environment. The ideal candidate is both creatively minded and design-oriented, with a highly collaborative approach that enables strong partnerships across creative, operations, and external teams.

    As the central driver of product development, you will oversee the full lifecycle—from concept through production and launch—while establishing scalable systems that support business growth across multiple retail channels. You will operate as both strategist and executor: designing efficient workflows, managing global partners, and ensuring timelines, costing, quality, and delivery standards are consistently met.

    This role is ideal for someone with hands-on fashion jewelry product development experience who wants meaningful ownership, visibility into company growth strategy, and the opportunity to build a best-in-class development function from the ground up.

    Key Responsibilities

    Strategic Ownership & Process Scaling

    • Own and optimize the full product development lifecycle, implementing systems, tools, and workflows that support scalability and efficiency as the company grows
    • Identify operational gaps and proactively design solutions to improve speed, accuracy, and cross-functional alignment
    • Establish best practices for documentation, tracking, and production readiness

    Product Development Leadership

    • Partner closely with the Chief Creative Officer and Jewelry Designer to translate creative concepts into production-ready products
    • Manage development from concept through sampling, costing, approvals, and production handoff
    • Oversee creation and accuracy of tech packs, specs, materials, and product details
    • Direct global factory communication and manage development timelines end-to-end

    Production & Inventory Alignment

    • Collaborate cross-functionally with Planning and Allocation teams to align product development timelines with buy timing and launch schedules across channels
    • Support launch readiness by coordinating development milestones, approvals, and production handoff timelines

    Execution & Cross-Functional Communication

    • Serve as the primary liaison between design, operations, production partners, and internal stakeholders
    • Maintain all trackers, launch documents, costing records, and development calendars
    • Ensure deadlines, approvals, and deliverables stay on track across multiple concurrent launches

    Quality & Detail Management

    • Own sample organization, catalog accuracy, and development documentation
    • Maintain strict attention to quality standards, costing precision, and timeline adherence

    Qualifications

    • 4+ years of experience in product development, production, merchandising, or buying within a retail or consumer brand (jewelry experience required)
    • Expert or very high level knowledge in fashion jewelry manufacturing, gemstones, beading and plating.
    • Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex development pipelines with minimal oversight
    • Strong understanding of global product lifecycle and manufacturing processes
    • Experience communicating directly with overseas vendors and factories
    • Advanced proficiency in Excel and Google Workspace (including data analysis tools such as pivot tables and lookups)
    • Proven ability to create structure, prioritize competing deadlines, and manage multiple launches simultaneously
    • Highly detail-oriented with strong problem-solving instincts
    • Prior leadership or project ownership experience, even without direct reports

    Benefits & Perks

    • Competitive paid time off
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (eligible after 30 days)
    • 401(k) with company matching
    • Short-term and long-term disability coverage
    • Life insurance options
    • Generous employee discount
    • Opportunity for international travel to visit and collaborate with global vendor and manufacturing partners

    This is a full-time position in-office based out of our headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina. 1.5 work-from-home remote days permitted after 90 days. No relocation package provided.
