Industry

Description

Product Manager, Outdoor Tools Take Ownership. Drive Innovation. See Your Work on Store Shelves Nationwide. Chapin International is the #1 manufacturer of sprayers, spreaders, and watering tools — durable, physical products used by homeowners and professionals alike. Our items sit on shelves across North America, in retailers like The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, and Tractor Supply. We're looking for a motivated Product Manager with proven experience in consumer packaged goods (CPG) — someone who understands how physical products are designed, manufactured, priced, and sold through retail, distribution and e-commerce channels. If your background is in software, finance, or digital platforms — this is not the right fit. We’re building tools you can touch. What You’ll Do: • Manage & grow assigned product categories. Own physical products through their entire lifecycle: concept, costing, development, packaging, and go-to-market. • Lead new product initiatives. Work closely with engineering, sourcing, and manufacturing to bring physical goods from sketches to prototypes to store shelves. • Drive growth through all channels. Build launch plans, merchandising tools, and promotional strategies that resonate across all channels. • Create 3-year product plans based on VOC, cost modeling, margin analysis, and category insights. • Be hands-on. Participate in VOC visits, field testing, and product reviews. Work side-by-side with cross-functional teams on-site — this is not a remote strategy role. • Support channel execution. Collaborate with the team to develop sell sheets, product content, pricing structures, packaging, and training materials. What You Bring: • 4-year degree required (Business, Marketing, Engineering, or related field); MBA a plus • 3+ years managing physical products in a CPG, hardware, or manufacturing environment • Experience working with large national retailers (Lowe’s, Home Depot, Walmart, etc.) • Deep familiarity with BOMs, costing, pricing, and supply chain constraints • Proven track record launching products into brick-and-mortar, distribution and ecommerce channels • Comfortable using Excel, ERP systems (SAP preferred), and managing multiple projects simultaneously • Willingness to travel (~15%) to retailers, tradeshows, job sites, and factories

Responsibilities

Manage the full lifecycle of physical outdoor tool products from concept and costing to manufacturing and retail launch. Drive category growth by creating 3-year product plans and collaborating with cross-functional teams on-site.
