We operate across Canada, the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong and China, serving tens of thousands of brands — from independent makers to global enterprises — through both B2B and eCommerce channels. Our product range is expanding rapidly, and how we bring those products to market is central to our next phase of growth.The roleThe Product Planning Manager owns the process that takes a product from roadmap concept to commercial launch — and ensures it runs on time, at quality, and with full cross‑functional alignment.To be clear: you do not execute every step yourself. Each stage in the process has a stakeholder who owns the work — Sourcing owns supplier selection, eCommerce owns the PDP build, Brand owns creative, Sales owns pipeline activation. Your job is to own the overarching process: setting timelines, holding stakeholders accountable to them, identifying blockers before they become delays, and ensuring every function knows what is expected of them and by when.You will sit within the Supply Chain & Product function, reporting to the VP. This gives you proximity to Sourcing, Production, and Logistics — the teams whose inputs most directly determine whether a product can ship on time. But your remit is cross‑functional: you are the single point of accountability for the full product lifecycle, from planning through to post‑launch review.This is a high‑leverage role. The pace at which noissue can responsibly expand its product range is a direct function of how well this process is run.The process you ownPhase 1 — Commercial PlanningYou own the process and timeline for this phase.
