Product Manager, New Business - Pico Rivera, CA

About the role

Founded and headquartered in California, Feit Electric is a leading global lighting and smart home brand celebrating over 45 years of innovation. We offer a wide range of lighting products, including home décor lighting, smart and feature-rich high-performance lighting solutions, and Home Safety products.

Responsibilities

• Identify high-potential categories where Feit can win at key retailers; size the opportunity, analyze the competitive landscape, study shelf resets, and gather consumer and buyer input to test the thesis.
• Build clear, well-supported business cases — revenue potential, cost structure, margin profile, and strategic fit.
• Find, evaluate, and qualify manufacturers — primarily in Asia — assessing capability, capacity, and reliability.
• Prepare cost analyses and supplier comparisons, and support cost negotiations.
• Define specs in enough detail to execute: dimensions, materials, certifications (UL, ETL, FCC), packaging — and help manage the timeline from samples through first PO.
• Learn how our retail partners evaluate new items — the winning item/program story, pricing and value, seasonal vs. permanent program — and help build retail-ready materials: item concepts, packaging, pricing, category rationale, and sell-through projections.
• Partner with the business unit and sales team to help present new items and move the product pipeline forward.
• Help manage products from concept through launch and into portfolio management — track SKU performance and sell-through, flag risks early, and support EOL and next-gen planning.
• Feed reviews, returns, and buyer feedback back into the next round of decisions.
• Run regular market scans, analyze competitive SKUs, monitor trends, and help maintain a prioritized pipeline of new category ideas.

Requirements

• Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity — you can take a defined problem, gather data quickly, and bring back a recommendation.
• Solid analytical instincts — you can build a business case, understand cost structures, and model the basic P&L for a new SKU.
• Clear communicator — you can put together a credible story for an internal review or retail buyer and present it well.
• Generative — you improve the plan and bring ideas, rather than only executing instructions.
• ~3–5 years in product management, category management, business development, sourcing, or a related role — ideally in consumer products, consumer electronics, or retail-focused roles.
• Some exposure to bringing physical products to market and to working with manufacturers, especially in Asia — or a strong, demonstrable aptitude for it.
• Comfortable having a working conversation with a supplier in China, Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam about cost, lead times, tooling, and quality.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Business, Engineering, or a related field.

Skills

• Fluent, judicious use of AI tools.
