About the role

  • Own the product pipeline (research → concept → handoff)
  • Run ongoing category research and competitive benchmarking (materials, finishes, construction methods, price ladders, packaging, gifting).
  • Convert research into clear product opportunities aligned to Scriveiner brand DNA and channel strategy.
  • Maintain a live roadmap and pipeline tracker (12–24 months) with stage, risks, owner, next actions, cost/lead-time assumptions, and target launch windows.
  • Define “handoff-ready” and produce handoff packs for channel execution.
  • Hands-on design and specification
  • Write design briefs that specify the desired ‘feel’ (CMF, proportions, weight, tactile cues, details) and what must be avoided.
  • Design according to brief, taking products through early prototyping.
  • Translate designs into factory-executable requirements: dimensions, tolerances, materials, finishes, packaging structures, and acceptance criteria.
  • Review samples, diagnose issues, and drive iterations decisively (including clear written factory feedback and measurable pass/fail criteria).
  • Supplier execution, costing, and production readiness
  • Drive feasibility, costing, and margin realism early (target factory cost, MOQs, lead times, and risk flags).
  • Define quality plan: QC checklists, tolerances, inspection points (pre-production, inline, pre- shipment), and defect standards.
  • Ensure materials, finishes, assembly processes, packaging, and documentation are production-ready before release.
  • Build a repeatable and scalable product development system
  • Implement a simple stage-gate process with evidence-based criteria and sign-offs (you / founders / ops as appropriate).
  • Create templates and working standards (brief, spec, sample feedback, QC plan, handoff pack).
  • Establish cadence: weekly pipeline review; monthly portfolio quality/returns review with ops/CX inputs; quarterly roadmap refresh.

Requirements

  • Superb design capability and the ability to articulate luxury cues to create amazing products that can be profitably sold at affordable prices.
  • You must be a hands-on executor and a world-class project manager. You will personally progress products from inception through to launch-ready.
  • Proven track record taking physical products from concept through sampling to production- ready - not just ideation.
  • The ability to communicate and work with factories to enable designs to be turned into manufacturable products, with detailed briefs/specs, actionable sample feedback, set acceptance criteria, and QC plans.
  • Commercial realism: cost targets, margin awareness, lead time/MOQ understanding, and disciplined trade-offs.
  • Comfort operating without direct reports and without heavy agency dependence.
  • You must be able to express complex design ideas clearly in both spoken and written English.
  • Strongly preferred: Experience in accessories, stationery, gifting categories, luxury and/or affordable luxury brands.
  • Experience working with global manufacturing ecosystems and quality control.
  • Ability to work across pen-adjacent products (metal, resin, leather, packaging) with high standards.
Benefits
  • Direct access to founders and fast decisions
  • Annual performance bonus tied to outcomes
  • Paid annual leave + paid sick leave (structured for a full-time role)
  • Welcome gift: a curated set of Scriveiner pens so you can experience the product details you’ll help shape
