Product Designer - Sports

JLB, Baton Rouge, LA, United States


Are you a detail-driven Product Designer who loves taking ideas from concept to shelf? Do you thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments where you can genuinely own the process?


We’re supporting a high-growth consumer products group operating across multiple sporting-goods categories, and they’re looking for a Product Manager who can drive end-to-end product development and help shape the future of their portfolio.


What You’ll Do

  • Manage the full product development lifecycle: sourcing, sampling, lab/field testing, certification, packaging, production support, and troubleshooting.
  • Keep all projects on time, on budget, and fully documented using internal processes.
  • Build product-market landscapes and supply-chain flowcharts in partnership with the Product Development Team.
  • Strengthen existing manufacturer relationships and open new ones domestic and international.
  • Work cross-functionally with sales, marketing, and operations to support commercial launches and ongoing initiatives.
  • Report directly to the COO and operate across multiple brands within the group.


What You Bring

  • Strong professionalism, sound judgment, and exceptional communication skills.
  • A self-starter mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.
  • Proven ability to manage deadlines, projects, and suppliers with precision.
  • Comfort traveling regularly (sometimes on short notice) both domestically and internationally.


Why This Role?

You’ll join a growing organization with a wide portfolio of products, meaning your work directly impacts brand success across multiple sports categories. This is a role with ownership, visibility, and the chance to build real influence in a company scaling fast.


If you’re excited about shaping high-quality sporting goods from concept through final approval, we’d love to hear from you.
