• Handle validation, packaging, barcodes, and QC
• Ensure a steady cadence of product launches

Skills

• Experience in the outdoor or fishing industry is required, along with real, specific knowledge of the fishing industry
• About 3 to 5+ years developing physical consumer products

Benefits

• Product-launch bonus
• Remote (US); South Florida is a plus for occasional in-person and sample handling
