Pearl West is redefining what it means to build consumer brands. We operate six brands in beauty, health supplements, sports nutrition, skincare, and pet products, with a combined run rate of $40M+ USD and aggressive scaling. Our mission is to build brands that leave lasting impressions and exit them at their peak. We are operator-led, performance-driven, and outcome-obsessed. Our centralized shared-services model fuels multiple brands with speed, clarity, and execution. If you want to lead with autonomy and own outcomes, Pearl West is your arena.

Role Overview : As the Product Innovation & Strategy Manager, you'll lead the entire lifecycle of product development — from ideation and R&D to launch and post-market performance.

You will work across categories, launching products that hit the market fast and deliver measurable impact on growth, margin, and brand equity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end product development – from concept validation, supplier sourcing, prototyping, compliance, to launch.
  • Drive innovation pipeline – build and manage a roadmap of products aligned with consumer trends and market gaps.
  • Partner with marketing & operations – ensure launches are integrated across supply chain, creative, and go-to-market campaigns.
  • Optimize unit economics & margins – negotiate with suppliers, improve COGS, and build scalable systems.
  • Ensure compliance & quality control – manage regulatory requirements across categories and markets.
  • Own timelines & execution speed – keep projects on track, moving from ideation to launch without bottlenecks.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Launch X new products per quarter on-time and within budget.
  • Achieve target gross margin % on new launches.
  • Deliver X% revenue contribution from new products within 12 months.
  • Reduce time-to-market by X% compared to industry benchmarks.
  • Maintain 100% compliance and quality standards across launches.
  • Success Benchmarks (30-60-90 Days)

  • First 30 Days : Deep dive into current brands, product pipeline, and supplier ecosystem; build relationships with cross-functional teams.
  • First 60 Days : Take ownership of ongoing product development projects; identify opportunities to improve time-to-market or unit economics.
  • First 90 Days : Lead your first product launch from concept to release; establish a repeatable product development framework for future launches.
