Manager, Product Innovation Enablement (PIE)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information. Not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all responsibilities bullet points. Let's extract responsibilities from the posting.
Responsibilities bullet-like sentences:
- Coordinate cross-departmental enablement projects across the Supply Chain, focused on expanding the customer-facing product offering
- Work with Product Team stakeholders to assess Product Concepts/Initiatives, New Ingredient Launches and all other Product changes that impact our operations and translate that product vision into a working plan within our supply chain capabilities.
- Work with the Partnerships team on both product sampling initiatives and in-bento product partnerships to assess viability and upon onboarding, own the project management and successful execution of each partnership product.
- Facilitate working sessions, develop presentation decks/sheets, evaluate the potential impact on Operations processes, identify challenges, and design new capabilities to be implemented.
- Sponsor the prioritization and progress of phase-based capability enhancement and continuous improvement projects and ensure timely delivery by all relevant teams.
- Partner closely with production, automation & engineering teams to effectively manage constraints and optimize operational capacity.
- Synthesize together all the above information to develop timelines, schedules, and other assets to effectively manage the readiness of the Supply Chain for ‘going-live’ with each concept.
- Project manage to completion multiple launch initiatives across multiple stakeholders, ensuring all relevant tools and trackers are up to date and all stakeholders informed.
- Proactively own all communication for PIE including email updates, slack channels, meetings, JIRA board updates, etc. to ensure alignment across the team.
- Own and improve various Program Management elements (trackers, recurring meetings, etc.), which control the most up-to-date information about all the capabilities being worked on across the Supply Chain to achieve the Product vision
- Refine these elements, and the communication processes around them
- Engage with other departments to ensure all information is regularly updated
- Provide recurring updates to Senior Leadership Team
- Support the continuous improvement of the team’s operating model via ideating, developing or improving the set of standard tools and processes the function operates with.
- Own the project management for ad hoc Special Projects, ensuring coordination across the team with a clear DACI so that roles and responsibilities are clear and execution is seamless.
Also earlier sentences: "You will be responsible for enabling cross-functional collaboration across the end-to-end supply chain, enabling the product roadmap including New Ingredient Development launches, process, quality and cost improvement initiatives, and both sampling and in-bento product partnerships and media. This includes leading all stages of operational readiness for Product launches, and triggering the identification, development, and implementation of critical capabilities that are required in the Supply Chain to meet the company’s ambitious product innovation vision. This project management role is a blend of strategy (directly supporting long term and high impact NPD goals for the company) and tactical execution (directly coordinating launch activities each time something new ‘goes live’). You will have a direct impact on the stability and scalability of our product. The Product Innovation Enablement function is a center of excellence that delivers on the overarching mandate of the Product Operations function, to: 1) deliver an exceptional customer experience through the end-to-end management of weekly menus, from planning to web upload 2) manage functional cost performance 3) synthesize and translate supply chain constraints and dependencies to drive physical product launches across all verticals."
We need to include these as responsibilities as well. Could be part of About the role prose. But we can include them in Responsibilities list.
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting includes:
- You Are A natural owner and project leader - ... (list of traits)
- You Have A strong academic record, preferably with a degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business, or other relevant area of study
- Minimum 4 years of experience in consulting, an operationally complex supply chain, in a hands-on Project or Program Management role that is both strategic and operational, or related
- Exceptional project and people management skills
- Excellent analytical skills and operational modeling capabilities - able to gather, organize, analyze, visualize, and present data to enable decision-making
- Excellent verbal and written communication abilities - able to convey the most important information to stakeholders, and to be effective in both technical and non-technical situations
- Ability to thrive in an unstructured, fast-moving, and constantly evolving high-growth environment
- Understanding of the operations, supply chain, and product offering of Factor specifically, or of the ready to eat industry generally, is a big plus.
We can split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (traits, abilities). But we can combine into one Requirements section with list. However guidelines: Use headings for sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to include. We have content for Requirements (education, experience). We have Skills (traits, abilities). We have Qualifications maybe overlapping. Could combine but better to separate: Requirements (education, experience), Skills (traits, abilities). Qualifications maybe not needed.
Benefits: list as above.
Pay: specific ranges per location: New York Pay Range $96,000—$125,000 USD; Colorado Pay Range $90,000—$116,000 USD; Illinois Pay Range $90,000—$116,000 USD.
We need to include Pay section with that info. Not schedule.

We must not include Schedule.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Need to include the three mandate points (customer experience, cost performance, synthesize constraints). Include them in About the role or Responsibilities. Let's put them in About the role prose.
Now craft About the role paragraph:
"This is a hybrid role based at the Boulder, CO, NYC, Chicago, Aurora, IL, or Lake Zurich, IL sites. As Manager of Product Innovation Enablement (PIE), you will enable cross‑functional collaboration across the end‑to‑end supply chain, support the product roadmap including New Ingredient Development launches, process, quality and cost improvement initiatives, and sampling and in‑bento product partnerships. You will lead operational readiness for product launches, identify and develop critical supply‑chain capabilities, and blend strategy with tactical execution to drive the company’s ambitious product innovation vision. The PIE function delivers on the Product Operations mandate to: (1) deliver an exceptional customer experience through end‑to‑end management of weekly menus, from planning to web upload; (2) manage functional cost performance; and (3) synthesize and translate supply chain constraints and dependencies to drive physical product launches across all verticals."
That captures.
Now Responsibilities list: include all bullet points we extracted plus the earlier ones about enabling cross-functional collaboration etc. But we already covered some in About the role; we should not duplicate. However we must preserve all substantive information; duplication is okay but better to avoid redundancy. We can include the detailed list as responsibilities, and keep About the role high-level.
Let's list responsibilities as bullet points:
- Coordinate cross-departmental enablement projects across the Supply Chain, focused on expanding the customer-facing product offering
- Work with Product Team stakeholders to assess Product Concepts/Initiatives, New Ingredient Launches and all other Product changes that impact operations and translate that product vision into a working plan within supply chain capabilities
- Work with the Partnerships team on product sampling initiatives and in‑bento product partnerships to assess viability and, upon onboarding, own project management and successful execution of each partnership product
- Facilitate working sessions, develop presentation decks/sheets, evaluate potential impact on Operations processes, identify challenges, and design new capabilities to be implemented
- Sponsor the prioritization and progress of phase‑based capability enhancement and continuous improvement projects and ensure timely delivery by all relevant teams
- Partner closely with production, automation & engineering teams to effectively manage constraints and optimize operational capacity
- Synthesize the above information to develop timelines, schedules, and other assets to manage Supply Chain readiness for ‘going‑live’ with each concept
- Project manage to completion multiple launch initiatives across multiple stakeholders, ensuring all relevant tools and trackers are up to date and all stakeholders informed
- Proactively own all communication for PIE including email updates, Slack channels, meetings, JIRA board updates, etc. to ensure alignment across the team

Now Requirements list:
- Strong academic record, preferably a degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business, or other relevant area of study
- Minimum 4 years of experience in consulting, an operationally complex supply chain, or a hands‑on Project/Program Management role that is both strategic and operational (or related)
Now Skills list (traits and abilities):
- Natural owner and project leader; comfortable working autonomously, obsessive about high quality work, eager to take on new projects without close oversight
- Intellectually curious; insatiable desire to understand why things are the way they are, how they work, and to challenge the status quo
- Agile and organized; thrives in fast‑paced, dynamic environments; can multitask and prioritize responsibilities; demonstrates a methodical approach
- Data‑driven critical thinker and problem solver; uses data and logic to identify opportunities, diagnose issues, evaluate alternatives, and synthesize and present critical information
for prose. We must preserve all substantive information. Not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all responsibilities bullet points.
