Product Launch Manager

ABOUT the company

We’re a team of builders, adventurers, and risk takers using technology to help people confidently explore the outdoors. Driven by our mission to awaken the adventurer inside everyone, we build products that optimize every outdoor experience and inspire confidence to get out and go further.

We’re a high-growth tech company. The pace is fast, the work takes grit, and ambiguity is part of the job. As the world changes around us, we adapt - continuously evolving how we build, prioritize, and deliver.

Our business moves quickly, and there’s real opportunity to shape what we build next. Each of our verticals - Hunt, Offroad, Backcountry, and Fish - is at a different stage of maturity, which means the challenges you encounter and the impact you have will vary depending on where you sit and what the business needs most.

We operate with an experimentation mindset, continually iterating and improving how we solve problems. We expect our people to use the latest tooling, including AI, thoughtfully and responsibly, pairing human judgment with technology to increase quality, speed, and impact.

Our impact comes to life through the products we build, in the stories of our customers, and in our growing commitment to land stewardship and recreational access.

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

The company is seeking a Product Launch Manager to help bring an exciting new connected product experience to market, designed to work seamlessly with the company Hunt app and create new possibilities for our customers.

This role will play a key part in bringing that experience to life, independently driving launch execution from beta through broader availability. You'll coordinate across engineering, operations, marketing, and customer experience, keeping timelines, dependencies, and teams aligned as we navigate the complexities of a new product launch.

Working closely with leadership, you'll translate launch plans into coordinated action, proactively identifying risks, navigating day-to-day challenges, and helping teams stay focused on shared milestones. As the company expands into new product experiences, you'll have the opportunity to apply lessons learned, improve launch processes, and help establish a strong foundation for future launches.
