Role Summary

Fanatics Collectibles makes trading cards and collectibles for the world's leading sports and entertainment properties. As the business scales its in-house production, it needs a dedicated leader to deliver and support its manufacturing footprint.

The Director, Project Management – Manufacturing will lead project management for Fanatics Collectibles' manufacturing facilities. This starts with the Sunnyvale, CA and Allen, TX plants and extends to future facilities across the United States and, over time, worldwide. The role covers the full project lifecycle: early budget estimates and planning, design and value engineering, construction, equipment installation and commissioning, production ramp-up, and close-out. It also supports ongoing plant operations through capital improvements, reconfigurations and expansions.

This is an owner-side leadership role. The Director will set direction for and manage a team of external partners, including project managers, architects and engineers, process and equipment engineers, and general contractors. The Director is accountable for delivering every project safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the operating needs of the manufacturing business.

Key Responsibilities

Program and project leadership

  • Lead every manufacturing facility project from concept through close-out: new builds, fit-outs, expansions, reconfigurations and capital improvements at existing plants.
  • Set up and run a consistent project delivery framework for Fanatics Collectibles manufacturing, covering stage gates, approvals, reporting, and document control.
  • Manage several projects at once at different sites, and balance resources and priorities across the portfolio.

Budgets, cost and value engineering

  • Prepare and validate early budget estimates and capital requests for leadership approval.
  • Own project budgets, contingency, forecasting and change-order control, and report variances and risks early.
  • Lead value engineering efforts that reduce cost and schedule without hurting production performance, quality or safety.

Manufacturing process and equipment integration

  • Work with manufacturing and engineering teams to turn production requirements into facility requirements, such as line layout, material flow, utilities, environmental controls and security.
  • Coordinate the procurement, installation and commissioning of production equipment, and its integration with building systems.
  • Plan and manage construction and equipment work at operating plants so that production disruption stays as low as possible.
  • Support production ramp-up and hand-off to operations, including commissioning, punch lists, training and warranty transition.

Vendor and contractor management

  • Choose, contract and manage external project management, A&E, engineering, and construction partners through competitive procurement.
  • Hold partners accountable for scope, schedule, cost, quality and safety performance.
  • Make sure work complies with permitting, building codes, OSHA, and environmental requirements.

Growth and future facilities

  • Support site evaluation and due diligence for new U.S. and international manufacturing facilities, working with the Global Real Estate team, brokers and incentive advisors.
  • Build repeatable facility standards, design guidelines and delivery playbooks that can scale to future sites in the U.S. and abroad.

Close-out and reporting

  • Manage project close-out, including final accounting, as-built documentation, warranties, lessons learned and asset handover.
  • Give executive leadership regular, clear reporting on portfolio status, risks and decisions needed.

Key Partners

The Director works closely with:

  • Fanatics Collectibles executive leadership, including the COO, on priorities, capital approvals and timing
  • Head of Manufacturing and plant leadership, on production requirements, line layout, equipment and ramp-up
  • Head of Global Supply Chain, on material flow, logistics and inbound and outbound requirements
  • Director, Facilities, on building systems, maintenance hand-off and ongoing operations
  • Head of Security, on physical security design and compliance
  • Global Real Estate (Domestic and International), on site selection, leases and acquisitions, and portfolio strategy
  • Finance, Legal and Procurement, on capital planning, contracts and vendor sourcing
  • External partners, including PM firms, architects and engineers, process engineers, general contractors, brokers and incentive advisors

Qualifications

Required

  • 15+ years of capital project or program management experience, with significant owner-side leadership in manufacturing or industrial facilities
  • A proven record of delivering complex manufacturing projects, from greenfield and expansion work to fit-outs inside operating plants, from planning through commissioning and close-out
  • Hands-on experience integrating production equipment and processes with facility design and construction
  • Strong command of budgeting, cost estimating, value engineering, change control and capital reporting
  • Experience choosing and managing external PM, A&E, engineering and general contractor partners
  • Working knowledge of construction contracts, permitting, building codes, OSHA and environmental requirements
  • Ability to run several projects at different sites at once, with up to 35% travel
  • Clear, concise communication with executive leadership and cross-functional teams

Preferred

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering (mechanical, industrial, civil or electrical), construction management or a related field
  • PMP certification
  • Lean or Six Sigma certification
  • Experience in printing, packaging, consumer products or other high-volume manufacturing
  • Experience planning or delivering facilities outside the United States
  • Familiarity with site selection and economic incentive processes
