The posting

Location: On-Site — Santa Ana, CA (this is not a hybrid or remote role) Compensation: $55,000 – $72,000

About Us Shameless Snacks makes low-sugar gummy candy that tastes like the real thing. Every bag has 3g of sugar, is packed with fiber, and is vegan and gluten-free. Our lineup of sour and fruit gummies (worms, bears, peach rings, Cherry Bomb, Green Apple Blast, and more) is sold on Amazon, DTC, and at major retailers across the country.

Shameless is part of eJam, a bootstrapped consumer products company that has built, scaled, and exited multiple brands without taking a dollar of outside capital. That means you get the focus of a single brand with the resources and playbook of a team that has taken products from zero to eight figures more than once. Small team, no bureaucracy, massive ownership.

If you want to learn how a food brand actually gets built, from flavor development and co-manufacturing to packaging, labeling, and landing on retail shelves, there's no faster education than this.

The Role We're looking for a Product Development Coordinator to drive new product development for Shameless Snacks. This is a hands-on role at the center of our innovation pipeline. You'll:

  • Research new flavor, format, and line-extension opportunities, and evaluate the better-for-you candy category and competitive landscape
  • Coordinate with our manufacturers and ingredient suppliers, including overseas partners, on formulation, samples, and production timelines
  • Manage sample rounds and taste testing, tracking feedback on flavor, texture, and shelf stability
  • Own packaging development with our design team, including nutrition panels, claims, and label approvals
  • Track every project timeline from idea to production-ready, and present progress to leadership weekly

You'll be the person who takes a new Shameless product from concept to launch-ready, working directly with the CEO and across our marketing, marketplace, and retail teams from day one.

What You'll Do Everyday

Research New Product Opportunities

  • Use tools like Helium 10, Jungle Scout, and similar platforms to identify high-potential SKUs and category opportunities across Amazon, DTC, and retail
  • Conduct competitive research — pricing, features, positioning, packaging, reviews, and gaps in the market
  • Compile category analyses and present findings to leadership with clear recommendations
  • Maintain organized files of benchmarks, specs, market data, and reference materials

Manage the Product Development Pipeline

  • Own the product pipeline in ClickUp — Kanban boards, project lists, status updates, and timelines across all active SKUs
  • Track all active development projects and keep deliverables on schedule
  • Surface blockers early, flag slippage before it becomes a fire, and keep cross-functional teams aligned
  • Own the accuracy of project documentation — if it’s in the system, it’s correct and current

Coordinate with Manufacturers & Vendors

  • Communicate directly with manufacturers in China on pricing, samples, specs, timelines, and production issues
  • Manage the RFQ process: solicit quotes, organize vendor responses, maintain comparison documents
  • Coordinate sample shipments, evaluate quality, and manage the feedback loop with manufacturers
  • Track compliance documentation and product testing requirements
  • Maintain vendor communication logs and track progress across SKUs

Drive Packaging & Design

  • Work with the design team on packaging concepts, dielines, and creative assets
  • Manage the design approval process — route concepts through stakeholders, collect feedback, push to final approval
  • Coordinate with printers and packaging vendors on specs, proofs, and production timelines

Present to Leadership Weekly

  • Prepare and deliver a weekly product development presentation to management
  • Make sure decision-makers have what they need to make calls — not scrambling for data in the room
  • Cover project status, milestones hit, blockers, timeline changes, and key decisions needed
  • Distribute meeting notes, action items, and follow-ups — everyone knows what they owe and when

Be the Communication Hub

  • Coordinate with designers, vendors, manufacturers, and internal teams to keep every deliverable on track
  • Work with external partners on samples, proofs, timelines, and production schedules
  • Follow up relentlessly — you are the person who makes sure things get done

Requirements

OU'RE A FIT IF

  • You have 2–4 years of experience in product development, sourcing, or product coordination in consumer products, CPG, eCommerce, or DTC
  • You’ve worked with overseas manufacturers — ideally in China — and understand the sourcing and production workflow
  • You’re experienced with Amazon product research tools (Helium 10, Jungle Scout, or similar)
  • You’ve used project management tools daily — ClickUp, Asana, Monday.com, or similar
  • You communicate clearly in writing and in person — no one has to chase you for updates
  • You’ve coordinated across multiple teams or departments (sourcing, design, marketing, external vendors)
  • You have high attention to detail — a messy project board or an incorrect spec keeps you up at night
  • You’re comfortable presenting to leadership and holding the room accountable on timelines

BONUS POINTS (NOT REQUIRED)

  • Experience with packaging development — dielines, print specs, materials, and vendor coordination
  • Familiarity with compliance or regulatory documentation (FDA, FTC, EPA, etc.)
  • Knowledge of PIM systems or product information management
  • Previous experience at a brand incubator, Amazon aggregator, or multi-brand portfolio company
  • Experience with retail buyer requirements and retail-ready packaging
  • Mandarin (Chinese) fluency

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF

  • You want to own the product roadmap or lead product strategy — this role executes the roadmap, it doesn’t set it
  • You’re looking for a remote or hybrid position — this is fully on-site in Santa Ana, CA
  • You’re coming from software product management and expect to write user stories or run sprints — this is physical product development
  • You’d rather be “thinking big” than managing details — this role IS the details

Benefits

  • Health, Dental & Vision
  • 401k Plan
  • Amazing, Pet-Friendly Office Environment
  • Doordash Friday Lunches
  • Growth path. As eJam scales, this role scales. Clear path into product development leadership.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
