About Bask & Lather Co.

Bask & Lather Co. is a fast-growing haircare brand built on culture, community, and results. As we scale across DTC, TikTok Shop, retail, and experiential channels, we require a highly disciplined Project Manager to drive end-to-end execution across new product development, marketing campaigns, and retail initiatives.

This role ensures that the company can move quickly without sacrificing accuracy, alignment, or launch readiness—eliminating gaps, missed details, and last-minute breakdowns.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Program Manager, Product & Marketing Operations who is PMP-certified to drive end-to-end execution across new product development and marketing initiatives at Bask & Lather Co. This role owns the successful delivery of cross-functional programs—from concept through launch—ensuring alignment, speed, and operational excellence across the business. 

This is not a traditional project management role. This is a high-accountability execution leadership role responsible for ensuring that products launch seamlessly, campaigns execute without error, and teams operate with clarity, structure, and discipline.

4. Structured Project Kickoff & Scope Definition

• Lead formal kickoff for every project
• Ensure full scope is defined upfront:
  • All SKUs
  • All deliverables and assets
  • All timelines and dependencies
• Validate scope with stakeholders before execution begins
• Prevent gaps such as missing SKUs or incomplete deliverables

5. Timeline & Critical Path Management

• Build and maintain detailed timelines in Monday.com

7. Risk Management & Proactive Problem Solving

• Identify risks early across all projects

8. Execution Accuracy & Attention to Detail

  • Dates and timelines

9. Asset & Deliverable Coordination
