Senior Production Manager

United States

Who We Are

Babylist is the leading platform for expecting and new families. More than 10 million people shop with Babylist every year, making it the go-to destination for seamless purchasing, guidance, and expert recommendations. As a modern, AI-forward tech company, Babylist has expanded from a universal registry into a full ecosystem — the Babylist Shop, Babylist Health, Babylist Money, NYC and LA showrooms, branded content, and more — generating $750M in revenue in 2025. Building the generational brand in baby, Babylist is reshaping the $235B kids and baby market and helping parents feel confident, connected, and cared for at every step.

Our Ways of Working

Babylist is remote-first with team members across the U.S. and Canada who move fast, think smart, and use AI as part of how they work every day — not as an experiment, as an expectation. We come together twice a year to build the relationships behind the work, and we hire people who are genuinely excited about what's possible and prove it through how they show up.

What the Role Is

Babylist is looking for a Senior Production Manager to own the full development lifecycle across our Owned Brands portfolio — products we design, develop, and bring to market ourselves.

Owned Brands is growing in breadth, complexity, and strategic importance. This role sits at the center of that growth — carrying apparel, textiles, nursery, and storage & organization from concept sign-off through bulk delivery, staying close to products once they're live, and driving the iterations that turn good products into great ones.

You'll report to the Director, Owned Brands and partner daily with Design, Merchandising, Planning, and Compliance.

Who You Are

  • You're a seasoned production manager with deep expertise across soft goods — apparel, textiles, and home/nursery categories — and you own the full lifecycle from concept through bulk delivery, not just tasks inside someone else's process
  • You own a category, not just the work inside one — you set the roadmap, drive the decisions, and are accountable for outcomes when something goes sideways
  • Experienced managing overseas factory relationships with real accountability — you know the difference between a vendor who's genuinely partnered with you and one who's just telling you what you want to hear
  • Skilled at leading costing negotiations independently — you've owned the financial conversation with factories, not just supported someone else having it
  • You see around corners — you're reading signals across a multi-category portfolio before they become escalations, and you're already closing the gap
  • Fluent across creative and commercial teams — you can talk construction details with a designer and margin with a merchant in the same conversation
  • Bonus: experience with juvenile products or CPSC compliance requirements
  • Bonus: experience in a DTC or owned brands environment where you were close to both the product and the business outcome
  • If you've primarily supported production rather than owned a category end-to-end, this role is a stretch — and not the right stretch for this moment
  • You're genuinely excited about what AI can do — not just as a concept, but as something you want to get your hands on. At Babylist, every team uses AI daily, and we're looking for people who lean in.

How You Will Make An Impact

  • Development Roadmap — own the full lifecycle across apparel, textiles, nursery, and storage & organization from concept sign-off through bulk delivery
  • Risk Management — anticipate portfolio risks and close gaps before they require escalation
  • Production Infrastructure — build the workflows and documentation that make multi-category production scalable as the business grows
  • Vendor Relationships — own and deepen partnerships across soft goods manufacturers, textile mills, and nursery suppliers
  • Factory Intelligence — develop deep knowledge of each factory's capabilities and bring that proactively to Design and Merchandising as product opportunity
  • Costing & Negotiations — lead vendor negotiations and costing analysis in support of financial targets set by Merchandising and the OB Director
  • Planning Partnership — translate production knowledge into recommendations on ordering, replenishment, and inventory management
  • Compliance — coordinate with the Compliance team to ensure every product meets applicable safety and regulatory standards

About Compensation

We use a market-based approach to compensation. The starting salary range for this role is:

$128,318 to $153,965

Your starting salary will be based on your location, experience, and qualifications, with increases over time tied to performance, role growth, and internal pay equity.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
