Summary

Payrate: $70.00 - $90.00/hr.
 
Summary:
The NPI Program Manager will own the operational integrity of New Product Introduction (NPI) timelines across Reality Labs Sales globally on behalf of the Business Planning & Operations team. This role is the single source of truth for where every NPI program stands against plan — what is slipping, why, and what needs to happen next. They will own the Milestone Master as the canonical tracker, hold cross-functional workstream owners accountable to their committed dates, and proactively surface risks with enough context for leadership to act.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Own the Milestone Master NPI section — the canonical tracker of all NPI milestones, dates, owners, and status across workstreams; update minimum 2x/week based on inputs actively pulled from workstream leads
  • Maintain a forward view of all NPI deliverables; track dependencies, send structured reminders to milestone owners 7 and 3 days before due dates, and own the critical path
  • Reconcile timeline conflicts between Category, Channel Sales, and other XFN partners — driving alignment when dates do not agree
  • Issue Critical Flags when a milestone is at risk of slipping by 5+ days, a dependency is unresolved with <2 weeks to a gate, or two workstreams have conflicting timelines with no resolution path
  • Every Critical Flag includes: what is at risk, why, downstream impact, who needs to decide or unblock, and recommended action
  • Track flag resolution end-to-end — flags do not close until the risk is mitigated, not just acknowledged
  • Synthesize inputs from workstream owners into decision-ready artifacts that leadership can act on without further synthesis
  • Build launch-by-launch institutional knowledge of what good looks like and where NPI programs typically break
 
Qualifications:
  • 4-5+ years of program or project management experience at a large tech company or strategy consulting firm
  • Demonstrated ownership of complex, cross-functional timelines with multiple workstreams and dependencies
  • Track record of holding senior stakeholders accountable — pulling status proactively rather than waiting to be told
  • Ability to synthesize inputs and frame decisions with trade-offs and a clear recommendation, not just status
  • Ability to ruthlessly prioritize and work autonomously
  • Must be able to work through ambiguity
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable producing decision-ready artifacts for leadership
  • Proficient in Google Suite (Sheets, Docs, Slides) and timeline / project tracking tools
  • Experience working against tight timelines with high-visibility deliverables
  • Retail, hardware, or consumer electronics NPI experience strongly preferred
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, operating independently, and driving accountability without direct authority
 
Pay Transparency: The typical base pay for this role across the U.S. is: $70.00 - $90.00 /hr. Non-exempt positions are eligible for overtime at a rate of 1.5 times the base hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a work week, or as required by state or local law. Final offer amounts, within the base pay set forth above, are determined by factors including your relevant skills, education and experience. Full-time employees are eligible to select from different benefits packages. Packages may include medical, dental, and vision benefits, health savings accounts with qualified medical plan enrollment, 10 paid days off, 3 days paid bereavement leave, 401(k) plan participation with employer match,  life and disability insurance, commuter benefits, dependent care flexible spending account, accident insurance, critical illness insurance, hospital indemnity insurance, accommodations and reimbursement for work travel, and discretionary performance or recognition bonus. Sick leave and mobile phone reimbursement provided based on state or local law.
