Our Ways of Working

Babylist is remote-first with team members across the U.S. and Canada who move fast think smart and use AI as part of how they work every day — not as an experiment as an expectation. We come together twice a year to build the relationships behind the work and we hire people who are genuinely excited about what's possible and prove it through how they show up.

What the Role Is

Babylist is looking for a Senior Production Manager to own the full development lifecycle across our Owned Brands portfolio — products we design develop and bring to market ourselves.

Owned Brands is growing in breadth complexity and strategic importance. This role sits at the center of that growth — carrying apparel textiles nursery and storage & organization from concept sign-off through bulk delivery staying close to products once they're live and driving the iterations that turn good products into great ones.
You'll report to the Director Owned Brands and partner daily with Design Merchandising Planning and Compliance.

Who You Are

• You're a seasoned production manager with deep expertise across soft goods — apparel textiles and home/nursery categories — and you own the full lifecycle from concept through bulk delivery not just tasks inside someone else's process
• You own a category not just the work inside one — you set the roadmap drive the decisions and are accountable for outcomes when something goes sideways
• Experienced managing overseas factory relationships with real accountability — you know the difference between a vendor who's genuinely partnered with you and one who's just telling you what you want to hear
• Skilled at leading costing negotiations independently — you've owned the financial conversation with factories not just supported someone else having it
• You see around corners — you're reading signals across a multi-category portfolio before they become escalations and you're already closing the gap
• Fluent across creative and commercial teams — you can talk construction details with a designer and margin with a merchant in the same conversation
• Bonus: experience with juvenile products or CPSC compliance requirements
• Bonus: experience in a DTC or owned brands environment where you were close to both the product and the business outcome
• If you've primarily supported production rather than owned a category end-to-end this role is a stretch — and not the right stretch for this moment
• You're genuinely excited about what AI can do — not just as a concept but as something you want to get your hands on. At Babylist every team uses AI daily and we're looking for people who lean in.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Development Roadmap — own the full lifecycle across apparel textiles nursery and storage & organization from concept sign-off through bulk delivery
• Risk Management — anticipate portfolio risks and close gaps before they require escalation
• Production Infrastructure — build the workflows and documentation that make multi-category production scalable as the business grows
• Vendor Relationships — own and deepen partnerships across soft goods manufacturers textile mills and nursery suppliers
• Factory Intelligence — develop deep knowledge of each factory's capabilities and bring that proactively to Design and Merchandising as product opportunity
• Costing & Negotiations — lead vendor negotiations and costing analysis in support of financial targets set by Merchandising and the OB Director
• Planning Partnership — translate production knowledge into recommendations on ordering replenishment and inventory management
• Compliance — coordinate with the Compliance team to ensure every product meets applicable safety and regulatory standards
