- Adaptable operator: thrives in ambiguity, can shift between big-picture planning and detail-level execution

What the job involves
- At Rothy’s, we’re transforming sustainable materials into beautiful, lasting products and evolving the systems, tools, and processes that power our business.
- We’re looking for a Program Manager who can help us connect the dots across the organization and ensure that critical initiatives deliver results.
- This is a highly visible role that will require quickly ramping up on our systems and teams, driving alignment across product, tech, and business functions, and directly managing projects when needed. You’ll balance program-level visibility with hands-on execution, helping Rothy’s move faster and smarter
- Drive key initiatives across the organization, ensuring cross-functional teams stay aligned and accountable
- Learn fast and quickly gain a working understanding of Rothy’s systems, processes, and tools to anticipate dependencies and help resolve blockers
- Support global growth by developing familiarity with the European market, regulations, and operations to help facilitate international projects and ensure global alignment
- Provide program-level visibility by building clear reporting on initiative progress, risks, and tradeoffs for leadership
- Step in as project manager for critical efforts, owning scoping, planning, execution, and delivery
- Facilitate communication across Product, Tech, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and external partners/vendors
- Support Agile practices as a scrum master for select teams, coaching squads and improving delivery discipline
- Manage release cycles, supporting deployments and ensuring post-release follow-ups are closed out
- Standardize documentation and processes that help teams work smarter and reduce duplicated effort
- Champion continuous improvement, surfacing lessons learned and evolving how projects and programs are delivered
Our take
Sustainability is a feature that is highly sought after in today's fashion landscape, but premium clothing often fails to meet these interests. Beyond this, the few available sustainable alternatives are usually difficult to wash, maintain and recycle - which is what Rothy hopes to change.
Rothy designs accessories that simultaneously aim to be fashionable, durable, and eco-friendly. Its main focus is shoes, though it also sells bags and purses in a range of styles. Whilst companies have been using sustainable materials in fashion for many years, Rothy stands out for catering to an environment-conscious audience that does not want to compromise comfort and quality for their ethical decisions.
With sustainability concerns on the rise among consumers, Rothy's target market is growing year on year. This, combined with the comfort-first image it has accrued, should present plenty of opportunity for growth in the company's future.
