You :

  • Appreciate a good debate even with your boss
  • Thrive in fast-paced change; take decisive action, and run with great ideas—even if they're not yours
  • Solutions-focused; figure out how to fix it instead of who is to blame
  • Driven by curiosity; always learning, growing, and embracing discomfort for progress.
  • Bring high energy to all your interactions
  • Community-minded and driven to make an impact

We :

  • Act with Impact; we work to protect and restore the environment while making sustainability cool.
  • Encourage testing, learning, and growing—we love data-backed, creative decisions.
  • Value intelligence, resourcefulness, and innovative thinking over rigid experience requirements.
  • Embrace smart risk-taking; we move fast, take action, and aren't afraid to fail forward.
  • Believe that accountability drives success, so foster empowerment not entitlement
  • Our Core Values :

  • Commit to a culture that builds a strong COMMUNITY
  • Foster CREATIVITY to inspire fresh innovation
  • Embrace COURAGE by taking action despite uncertainty
  • Live with Awareness and CONSCIOUSNESS of our choices
  • The Company :

    We are famous for being the creators of the world's first compostable phone case and our latest leading-edge innovation Lomi, the must-have smart-waste appliance for your home. We're fast-moving and on a mission to build something bold—and we're doing it quickly. Our environment is dynamic and constantly evolving. If you thrive in uncertainty, love solving problems and prefer action over perfection, you'll fit right in. We value ownership, initiative, and the ability to just get sh

  • t done. Success here means being comfortable with a 90% solution, moving fast, and iterating even faster. It's challenging, it's exciting, and it's definitely not boring. If you're looking for a place where you can grow fast, wear a lot of hats, and make a real impact— we welcome you to join a group of innovators who are committed to creating a waste-free future.
  • The Opportunity :

    We're looking for a Program Manager to join our Product & Technology team. Reporting to the SVP of Product & Technology, this role leads a portfolio of initiatives across the Pela and Lomi product lines, ensuring programs are delivered with excellence in design, sustainability, quality, and execution.

    You will work closely with Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations, Marketing, Customer Success, and Creative teams to align priorities, clarify deliverables, and keep programs on track. You will also bridge our overseas manufacturing partners with our North American facilities, ensuring timelines, technical requirements, and quality standards stay aligned across geographies.

    The Responsibilities :

  • Manage a portfolio of cross-functional programs aligned with company and product strategies.
  • Translate strategic goals into clear program plans, roadmaps, and deliverables.
  • Define scope, milestones, dependencies, and risks to ensure alignment across teams.
  • Apply strong program management practices to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.
  • Coordinate production timelines, specifications, and quality expectations across domestic and overseas manufacturing partners.
  • Identify and mitigate risks proactively and establish clear escalation paths.
  • Maintain effective communication rhythms across internal teams and external partners.
  • Ensure packaging, sales assets, and product storytelling align with product requirements and brand expectations.
  • Oversee quality processes across manufacturing environments, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards and brand benchmarks.
  • Contribute to P&L assessments and ROI evaluations for product programs.
  • Conduct retrospectives and support continuous improvement of program management processes and tools.
  • Partner with product development managers to refine and scale organizational frameworks.
  • Qualifications & Skills :

  • 3–5+ years of program or project management experience in product development (preferably consumer goods).
  • Proven success delivering complex cross-functional programs and influencing without authority.
  • Strong understanding of product development cycles including design, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and go-to-market.
  • Experience working with creative or design teams to support brand alignment.
  • Experience coordinating across overseas and domestic manufacturing environments.
  • Familiarity with integrating sustainability into product programs.
  • Excellent communication, facilitation, and organizational skills.
  • PMP, PgMP, Agile, or similar certifications are an asset.
  • Compensation : $80,000–$95,000 CAD depending on experience

    Commitment to Diversity : Lomi & Pela are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. We value unique perspectives and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
