Overview
TalentoHC has partnered with a leading toy company in Los Angeles seeking a contract Associate Product Manager with a strong focus on project management and cross-functional coordination. Under the supervision of the Creative Director, this role will support the
development of imaginative and production-ready costumes for original and licensed toy characters by driving timelines, tracking deliverables, and ensuring seamless communication across teams. This position serves as a key operational partner to Design, acting as the hub between

• Maintain project tracking tools, schedules, and documentation to support workflow visibility
• Track licensor submissions, feedback, and approvals to keep projects moving forward

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Fashion, or related field preferred
• 3–5 years of experience in project management, coordination, or product operations (consumer products, toys, fashion, or entertainment preferred)
• Strong experience managing timelines, schedules, and cross-functional workflows
• Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday.com, Smartsheet) and Microsoft Office / G-Suite
• Excellent organizational, communication, and multitasking skills in a fast-paced environment
