Job Description

Description

Be the reason launches run smoothly.

Every successful product launch depends on what happens before it hits production. That’s where you come in.

As a Product Readiness Coordinator, you’ll be the operational backbone that ensures every detail—data, packaging, systems, and approvals—is accurate, aligned, and ready to go. You won’t just support launches—you’ll protect them from failure by making sure nothing moves forward incomplete or incorrect.  If you’re someone who notices what others miss, thrives on organization, and takes pride in getting things exactly right, this role is built for you.


What You’ll Do

You’ll sit at the center of product launches, working across teams to make sure everything is fully ready before execution begins:

  • Own the Intake Process – Review new product and customer requests, ensuring nothing moves forward without complete and accurate inputs 
  • Build the Foundation – Create and validate item setup data, including dimensions, configurations, and system alignment 
  • Connect Systems & Partners – Set up items across customer portals, warehouses, and 3PLs while ensuring consistency everywhere 
  • Execute Packaging Details – Manage carton markings and packaging requirements using approved standards (no design work—just precision) 
  • Drive Approval Workflows – Coordinate artwork approvals and maintain tight version control 
  • Support Planning Visibility – Help communicate forecast timing and demand outlooks to support readiness 
  • Track Launch Readiness – Provide clear, real-time visibility into what’s ready, what’s not, and what’s at risk 

Why This Role Matters

Without this role, launches get delayed, data gets messy, and teams scramble.

With you in this role:

  • Projects move forward cleanly and confidently 
  • Teams trust the data and the process 
  • Risks are caught early—not at the last minute 

You are the gatekeeper of readiness—and that’s a high-impact place to be.


What You’ll Gain

  • A critical role in high-visibility product launches 
  • Hands-on experience with systems, data, and cross-functional operations 
  • A clear path to grow within operations, supply chain, or planning 
  • The opportunity to build expertise in a structured, process-driven environment 

How Success Is Measured

  • Clean, accurate item setups across all systems 
  • Fewer delays caused by missing or incorrect data 
  • Reduced last-minute escalations and rework 
  • Clear, reliable visibility into launch readiness 


Requirements

What You Bring

You don’t need years of experience—you need the right mindset.

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Extremely detail-oriented and accuracy-driven 
  • Process-focused and comfortable enforcing standards 
  • Organized and confident managing multiple moving pieces 
  • Clear and professional in communication 
  • Willing to raise issues instead of working around them 

Helpful (but not required):

  • Experience in operations, supply chain, manufacturing, or product setup 
  • Familiarity with item data, customer portals, or warehouse systems 
  • Experience working across multiple teams in a fast-paced environment 

 Ready to Apply?

If you take pride in precision, enjoy bringing order to complexity, and want to play a key role in making launches successful—we’d love to hear from you.
