Project Manager – Grand Rapids, Michigan
 
DISHER is currently partnering with a leading innovator in the furniture industry seeking a dynamic Project Manager to join their team in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Project Manager is responsible for driving product development projects from concept through launch. This role ensures projects stay on track, teams remain aligned, and key milestones are delivered on time. While the primary focus is project management, this role will also support product development and product management activities—including helping translate product concepts into actionable plans, coordinating cross-functional workstreams, and supporting the successful launch of new products. This role works closely with teams in both the United States and Asia, coordinating development efforts with overseas vendors and partners to ensure smooth communication, efficient development timelines, and successful product launches. The ideal candidate is highly organized, proactive, and comfortable working across teams to move complex projects forward.
 
What it’s like to work here:
You’ll be part of a fast-paced, fun, and values-driven team that’s redefining comfort in furniture. The organization believes in finding a better way, doing the right thing, and expecting the best from themselves and each other. The culture is built on innovation, integrity, and continuous improvement-offering you the chance to shape the future of the product portfolio while advancing your career. Enjoy hybrid flexibility with three days a week in the Grand Rapids office and the rest remote, plus the energy and support of a company that’s always growing and always celebrating success.
