What does a New Product Introduction Project Manager do?

A New Product Introduction (NPI) Project Manager oversees the entire process of bringing a new product from concept to market. They coordinate cross-functional teams, manage timelines, budgets, and resources, and ensure that all product development milestones are met. Their role involves risk management, stakeholder communication, and facilitating product testing and quality assurance to ensure a successful launch. Ultimately, they play a critical role in ensuring that new products are delivered on time, within budget, and meet customer expectations.

How does a New Product Introduction Project Manager typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a product launch?

A New Product Introduction (NPI) Project Manager plays a key role in coordinating efforts across departments such as engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and supply chain. They facilitate regular meetings to align timelines, address potential roadblocks, and ensure all teams are on track with their deliverables. Effective communication and proactive problem-solving are crucial, as the NPI Project Manager must balance technical requirements, resource constraints, and market launch deadlines. This cross-functional collaboration helps ensure a smooth transition from development to production and successful product launches.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a New Product Introduction Project Manager, and why are they important?

Familiarity with project management tools like MS Project or Jira, and certifications such as PMP or Six Sigma, are commonly expected. Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills help coordinate diverse teams and manage complex timelines. These competencies are crucial for ensuring smooth product launches that meet quality, cost, and schedule objectives.

  • For new product introductions, you and your team will;
    • Work closely with the New Product Development team to drive and execute improvements/solutions to help the team meet the product design and manufacturing requirements and stage gate commitments while keeping focus on safety and quality.
    • Work directly with the Production/Operations cell team to ensure operation readiness of the new product portfolio. You will engage with the Manufacturing Engineers, Supervisors, and Technicians to drive the successful transition of products from early development to product release.
    • Provide documentation support such as creating/maintaining drawings, SOPs, test procedures, and test data.

  • Successful candidate will be required to train at the existing Bedford, MA site as part of onboarding to gain process knowledge to be successful in this role at the new Colorado Springs Manufacturing facility.

What We Seek:
  • B.S or M.S. in Chemical/Materials/Polymer engineering or related technical discipline
  • Experience in membrane manufacturing, polymer twin-screw extrusion, web handling or thin film processing or non-woven manufacturing processes
