About WESSCO International

WESSCO International is a leading supplier of onboard and in-room service products for the global airline and hospitality industries. Working with some of the world's most recognized travel brands, WESSCO brings together design, sourcing, product development, logistics, and account management to deliver innovative products and customer programs around the globe.

We're looking for an Associate Project Manager to join our North American team and help bring those programs from concept through launch.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is highly organized, proactive, comfortable managing a lot of moving pieces, and energized by an environment where no two days look exactly the same.

The Opportunity

As an Associate Project Manager, you'll work closely with Account Management and cross-functional teams to keep customer projects moving forward.

You'll coordinate timelines, deliverables, samples, approvals, sourcing, compliance, logistics, and launch activities across multiple customer programs. You'll also serve as a central point of coordination between internal teams, external partners, suppliers, and customers.

This isn't a role where you'll simply update a project tracker and wait for direction. We're looking for someone who takes ownership, follows up, asks questions, anticipates problems, and makes sure details don't fall through the cracks.

What You'll Do:

Project Management & Execution

• Coordinate customer projects from initial concept through launch and ongoing program support.
• Manage multiple projects, timelines, milestones, and deliverables simultaneously.
• Review RFP and tender documents, summarize key requirements, and partner with the Sales team on project priorities and proposal development.
• Maintain project plans and trackers and ensure action items stay on schedule.
• Proactively identify risks, delays, and bottlenecks and help drive solutions.
• Provide clear and timely project updates to key stakeholders.

Cross-Functional & Supplier Coordination

• Partner closely with Sourcing, Design, Brands, Operations, and Account Management.
• Coordinate project requirements and deadlines across internal and external stakeholders.
• Track product samples, approvals, testing, compliance documentation, and shipment readiness.
• Follow up on outstanding deliverables and help create accountability across teams.
• Collaborate with global teams and overseas suppliers across different time zones.

Customer & Account Support

• Prepare meeting agendas, project updates, presentations, and follow-up action items.
• Participate in customer meetings as needed and document commitments and next steps.
• Support customer presentations, sample reviews, and project planning sessions.
• Occasionally travel for customer meetings, industry events, and program reviews.

Process Improvement

• Maintain accurate project documentation and reporting.
• Help develop and improve project management tools, trackers, and processes.
• Identify opportunities to improve communication, efficiency, and visibility across projects.

What We're Looking For

• Approximately 3–5 years of experience in project management, product development, operations, sourcing, supply chain, hospitality, consumer products, or a related environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines at once.
• Exceptional organization, time management, and follow-through.
• A proactive, ownership-oriented approach. You don't wait to be told that something needs attention.
• Ability to identify potential risks and help drive solutions before they impact a deadline.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Confidence working with multiple internal teams, external partners, and stakeholders.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and project-tracking tools.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while remaining highly collaborative.

Nice to Have:

Experience in any of the following is helpful, but not required:

• Airline, hospitality, or travel
• Consumer products or retail
• Branded merchandise
• Product development
• Sourcing or supply chain
• Overseas suppliers
• Product testing or compliance
• Customer presentations

Formal project management training or certifications such as PMP, CAPM, PRINCE2, or equivalent are a plus, but not required.

Location & Work Environment

This is a fully remote U. S.-based position, with a strong preference for candidates located in the New York City metropolitan area.

Being based near New York provides opportunities for in-person onboarding, collaboration, and customer interaction. Exceptional candidates outside the New York area may also be considered.

WESSCO offers a flexible, high-autonomy environment. Team members are trusted to manage their responsibilities and schedules while meeting customer commitments and project deadlines. Workload can fluctuate based on customer needs and project cycles, so adaptability and strong self-management are important.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $80,000–$100,000
• Opportunity for a performance-based bonus
• Total compensation will be based on experience and background
• Company-paid health insurance
• Remote work and schedule flexibility

Why WESSCO?

WESSCO offers the opportunity to work in a unique global industry where the projects you manage become real products experienced by travelers around the world.

As part of a close-knit and collaborative team, you'll have significant visibility across the business and the opportunity to work with major global brands, customers, suppliers, and internal teams.

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys autonomy, variety, collaboration, and the opportunity to make a visible impact within a growing organization.

If you're someone who loves keeping complex projects organized, naturally follows up, takes ownership, and enjoys bringing people and details together to make things happen, we'd love to hear from you.
