About Us
UrmiX is a consumer product company that designs, develops, manufactures, and sells innovative physical products across multiple categories.
We develop products from idea through engineering, sourcing, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, marketing, and marketplace launch.
We are looking for someone who can help us build and run this entire execution system.
About the Role
This is not a traditional project manager position.
We are looking for someone who enjoys building systems, coordinating people, solving problems, removing bottlenecks, and making sure products move from concept to market.
You will work directly with the CEO and coordinate engineering, suppliers, factories, marketing, and operations across multiple consumer product projects.
Your mission is simple:
Keep projects moving and help turn ideas into successful products.
Responsibilities

- Help improve internal processes and build scalable operating systems as the company grows.
