Wrap-It Storage
Product owner job in Saint Paul, MN
St. Paul, MN (On-site, In Person)
Before You Read Further (Important)
This is a hands-on, roll up your sleeves, execution-heavy role - not a strategy-only or coordination position.
You must be hungry, humble and people smart. Non-negotiable.
This is not a software, SaaS, app, or digital product role.
About Wrap-It Storage
We're Wrap-It Storage - a fast-growing, family-owned consumer goods brand on a mission to help people Get Untangled! We're an industry leader in innovative, problem-solving organization products, with solutions sold in major retailers and online.

The Role
We're hiring a proactive, hands-on, design-minded New Product Development Manager to own the day-to-day execution of our physical product development process.
This is a builder role, not a coordinator role.

Work directly with overseas factories
Negotiate pricing, MOQs, tooling, and lead times
Push projects forward when things stall
·Partner tightly with design, operations, and sales to hit deadlines
Do whatever needs to be done to get products over the finish line

Because we manufacture overseas, this role requires occasional evening communication to keep projects moving across time zones.

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 consumer goods product development
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.
