Employment: Full-Time What You'll Be Doing as a Junior Product Manager Maintain and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs) in the ERP system, keeping product data accurate through every stage of development. Own the engineering team's file structure and document management — setting the standards and keeping everything organized and accessible. Track all moving parts of product development projects, from prototype components to launch-critical deliverables, and elevate delays before they become problems. Coordinate product launch readiness by ensuring parts, documentation, and information are where they need to be and on time. Manage Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), tracking approvals and making sure updates are reflected across all relevant systems and teams. Serve as the bridge between product development and marketing/sales, handing off product information and assets ahead of every launch. Author technical whitepapers and product documentation, translating engineering details into clear content for customers and internal teams. Facilitate cross-functional meetings, capture action items, and hold the team accountable to project milestones. Work with vendors and procurement to confirm component lead times and flag any supply risks for upcoming launches. Maintain a lessons-learned knowledge base to help the team continuously improve across product development cycles. Skills and Experience You'll Need 2–5 years of experience in a product development, manufacturing operations, or project coordination role — ideally in a manufacturing or product-driven environment. Hands‑on experience managing BOMs and working within an ERP system (experience with Odoo a plus). Strong organizational skills with a proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects without dropping details. Experience with Engineering Change Order (ECO/ECN) processes and document control workflows. Comfortable working cross-functionally — you've been the connector between engineering, marketing, and operations before. Strong written communication skills; experience authoring technical documents, product specs, or whitepapers is a significant plus. Familiarity with file management best practices, version control, and document management systems. A proactive mindset — you flag problems before they elevate and find solutions without waiting to be asked. Passion for or familiarity with firearms, hunting, or long‑range shooting is a genuine plus, not just a checkbox.
