Who We Are
We're Wrap-It Storage - a fast-growing, family-owned company on a mission to help people Get Untangled! And, well, just plain organized. We're a small but mighty team where ideas move fast - from sketch to store shelves (and online) - without corporate clutter slowing things down.
We create ridiculously useful products that keep cords, hoses, ropes, and everyday clutter under control. Our current solutions are top-notch, but we're always working to make these solutions even top-notchy-er.
Position Overview
We're looking for a proactive, design-minded Project Manager who isn't just comfortable with ambiguity - they
thrive
on it. In this role, you will create structure, not wait for it. You'll define how projects run and build timelines from scratch that keep our growing product pipeline aligned and moving quickly.
You'll be the one steering new product development from early concept through launch - and holding internal and external partners accountable every step of the way. Because we work with overseas suppliers, this role requires occasional evening communication to maintain speed and progress across time zones.
If you're a self-starter who takes initiative, brings clarity to complexity, and has an eye for clean, cohesive product design - we want you leading the charge!
What You'll Do
Build new product development processes and timelines - you own the system
Drive accountability and keep cross-functional teams aligned to deadlines
Collaborate with marketing, sales, and operations to define project timelines and requirements
Ensure product aesthetics, packaging, and overall execution are consistent with the Wrap-It brand
Work proactively with overseas partners to maintain momentum, solve problems, and accelerate development
Negotiate with suppliers to achieve competitive pricing while ensuring product quality
Identify risks early and implement solutions before they cause delays
Special projects as required (which is a fancy way of saying “other stuff we can't think of right now”).
What You Bring
3-5+ years experience in project management/product development (consumer goods preferred)
Demonstrated ability to build and lead project structure - not just follow it
· Confidence in holding others accountable and driving results
· Strong eye for design and brand cohesion
Self-starter attitude: you see what needs to happen and make it happen
Superior organizational skills
Exceptional communication - direct, clear, timely, and solution-focused
Comfortable with occasional evening work to stay in sync with overseas partners
Skilled in Microsoft Office (primarily Excel & PowerPoint)
Why You'll Love Working Here
You'll shape how new products are built and launched - real ownership
Your ideas will be implemented quickly and visible everywhere our products sell
A growth stage company with huge runway - your impact will grow with us
A team culture built on trust, humor, and problem-solving (we take work seriously, not ourselves 😄)
In Short: You'll help launch the next generation of Wrap-It Storage products and make a big impact on a growing team-without the big company bureaucracy slowing you down.

The RL ensures compliance with VRSI policies, Department of Labor Veterans' Employment and Training Service (DOL-VETS) regulations, best practices, and grant requirements-ensuring that all critical performance measures are consistently met across the region.
While this is a leadership role, the RL remains, first and foremost, an Employment Specialist-dedicated to serving veterans and helping them achieve sustainable employment. Rather than managing daily operations directly, the RL verifies success through oversight systems, data validation, and structured communication cadences. The role emphasizes developing strong local leaders, promoting operational consistency, ensuring audit readiness, and aligning regional performance with VRSI's organizational goals.
In alignment with VRSI's small-company culture, the Regional Lead Employment Specialist is expected to contribute wherever needed to ensure company and program success. Effective leaders model adaptability, teamwork, and a hands-on approach-demonstrating that every member of VRSI plays a vital role in achieving our mission to empower veterans toward sustainable employment.
The right individual is someone who goes above and beyond-willing to step outside their formal duties when necessary to ensure success for the company, the team, and, most importantly, the veterans we serve.
Leadership Philosophy

They guide performance through verification, accountability systems, coaching, and proactive leadership-ensuring that each Lead Employment Specialist demonstrates excellence in management, data accuracy, and veteran outcomes.
Even in the most senior roles at VRSI, leaders never lose sight of their foundational purpose: to connect veterans with meaningful employment opportunities.

Hold Lead Employment Specialists accountable for meeting grant performance benchmarks, including enrollments, placements, training completions, and employment retention.
Review and interpret data trends to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and consistency across the region.
Coach Leads to use data and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for informed decision-making, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Collaborate with the RLO and other Regional Leads to evaluate trends, identify best practices, and strengthen performance organization-wide.
3. Policy Alignment and Continuous Improvement
Ensure regional operations align with company and DOL-VETS policies, guidance letters, and 2 CFR requirements through routine verification and feedback loops.
Contribute to the development, review, and implementation of SOPs and policy updates to enhance efficiency and compliance.
Recommend and support procedural improvements that streamline operations while maintaining regulatory integrity.
4. Leadership Development and Coaching
Mentor and guide Lead Employment Specialists to strengthen leadership capacity, decision-making, and accountability practices.
Conduct regular check-ins and regional team meetings to align goals, share updates, and reinforce consistency.
Support Leads in effectively managing their office teams by providing coaching, guidance, and direction on addressing performance gaps and building engagement.
Recognize leadership growth, model professional conduct, and foster a culture of ownership, integrity, and excellence.
5. Coordination and Collaboration
Collaborate with other Regional Leads to ensure national consistency in operations, compliance, and program delivery.
Communicate effectively between regional offices and executive leadership, ensuring transparency, timely reporting, and proactive issue escalation.
Contribute to company-wide projects, policy committees, and cross-regional initiatives by representing regional insights and performance data.
6. Operational Verification
Verify that Leads are properly overseeing administrative functions-including time-sheets, attendance, purchasing, and reconciliations-in compliance with company policy.
Review and approve regional-level actions such as time-off requests, hiring recommendations, and purchase approvals to ensure alignment with organizational standards.
Ensure that regional reports (monthly, quarterly, and annual) are accurate, complete, and submitted on schedule through verification and data validation.
Participate in internal audits and reviews to confirm ongoing compliance and data accuracy.
7. Training, Onboarding, and Support
Verify that Leads conduct comprehensive on boarding for new staff and maintain training compliance within their offices.
Coordinate regional or cross-office training sessions to reinforce standards, enhance professional development, and ensure consistent program delivery.
Partner with the RLO and HR team to maintain effective staffing and support retention within the region through proactive communication and mentorship.
Additional Responsibilities
Represent VRSI in meetings, trainings, and external events as a regional leader and veteran employment advocate.
Assist in strategic planning and national initiatives to enhance organizational consistency and program quality.
Undertake additional responsibilities as assigned by the Program Manager or RLO as needed.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in business administration, workforce development, social services, or a related field (Master's preferred).
Relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
Minimum of 3-5 years of leadership experience in workforce development, veterans' services, or compliance-driven program management.
Proven ability to lead through influence, develop leaders, and manage performance across multiple sites.
