Royal Robbins
Blending product vision with adventure‑ready craftsmanship is at the heart of Royal Robbins. For more than five decades, we’ve created apparel that carries people comfortably from trail to town sustainably, thoughtfully, and with curiosity about the world.
As our Temporary Product Line Manager, you’ll help bring that vision to life. This part‑time role exists to support our Product team during an upcoming planned leave, and we’re seeking someone who can step confidently into seasonal line building, data‑driven decision making, and cross‑functional collaboration with quality and care. You’ll work closely with the Senior Director of Product to guide seasonal architecture, maintain PLM integrity, and keep our global assortment aligned with the Royal Robbins ethos throughout the season.
If you thrive in the flow between creativity and systems, love distilling complexity into clear direction, and find energy in a fast‑paced product cycle, this is a meaningful way to contribute to a brand built on exploration and stewardship.
