Gravitiq
Gravitiq is a fast-growing global consumer goods group, home to a portfolio of beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands. Grace & Stella, one of our key brands, is undertaking the largest operational transformation programme in its history - spanning reformulation, repackaging, and a phased retail rollout.
Senior Programme Manager
We are looking for an experienced Senior Programme Manager 1 - 2 days per week, for a 6 month contract to take ownership of this transformation: building the integrated plan, holding the critical path, and driving cross-functional delivery against milestones. This is a delivery-focused mandate - you are accountable for the programme landing on time, in scope, and with the right cross-functional alignment, not for setting the company’s broader operating systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Working closely with points of contact from Brand/Marketing, Creative, Supply Chain, Product Development, Regulatory, and Commercial, you will own end-to-end delivery of the Grace & Stella transformation programme. Focus areas include:
- Reformulation programme – product development and improvement workstreams
- A repackaging programme – managing primary componentry changeover and packaging redesign refresh.
- Retail phase-in / phase-out – sequencing the transition of SKUs and packaging formats across retail and other channels.
- Integrated programme planning & critical path management – building and maintaining a single source of truth across all workstreams.
- Cross-functional coordination – aligning with point of contacts from Brand, Supply Chain, Product Development, Regulatory, and Commercial around shared timelines and dependencies.
- Defining milestones and driving delivery against them – tracking progress, surfacing risks early, and escalating decisions where needed.
