• Provide program-level visibility by building clear reporting on initiative progress, risks, and tradeoffs for leadership.

• Step in as project manager for critical efforts, owning scoping, planning, execution, and delivery.

• Facilitate communication across Product, Tech, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and external partners/vendors.

• Support Agile practices as a scrum master for select teams, coaching squads and improving delivery discipline.

• Manage release cycles, supporting deployments and ensuring post-release follow-ups are closed out.

• Standardize documentation and processes that help teams work smarter and reduce duplicated effort.

• Champion continuous improvement, surfacing lessons learned and evolving how projects and programs are delivered.

You are:

• Strong communicator: able to adapt messaging for execs, peers, and partners; proactive and clear in surfacing issues.

• Relationship builder: skilled at working across functions and creating alignment in a collaborative, supportive way.

• Adaptable operator: thrives in ambiguity, can shift between big-picture planning and detail-level execution.

• Problem solver: resourceful, pragmatic, and able to identify options and tradeoffs when challenges arise.

You have:

• 5+ years of program or project management in a cross-functional, fast-moving environment.

• Industry knowledge: direct experience in retail, consumer goods, or manufacturing, with an understanding of how supply chain, production, and sales intersect.

• Global perspective: interest or experience in international markets, with the ability to learn European-specific requirements, systems, and processes to support Rothy’s growth.

• Technical fluency: able to quickly understand how systems (ERP, PLM, ecommerce, marketing, etc.) fit together and where dependencies live.

• Project management expertise: comfortable building plans, managing risks, tracking progress, and holding teams accountable.
