THE ROLE

AG1 is expanding its innovation portfolio across products, formats, and channels. We are seeking an experienced leader to operate, and continuously strengthen our enterprise Stage Gate governance and commercialization process. This role will combine governance design and decision discipline with hands-on cross-functional execution, helping AG1 move products from concept through development, manufacturing readiness, and launch with greater clarity, speed, and accountability.

Reporting to the Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, the Director will have meaningful delegated ownership of the governance model, including recommending and implementing gate standards, decision protocols, performance measures, and improvements. The Director will partner closely with Product Development leadership and functional stakeholders while maintaining an enterprise-wide perspective.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Stage Gate Governance & Decision Discipline

Design, operation, and evolution of the Stage Gate governance framework with the executive owner, including gate criteria, required evidence, decision rights, and escalation pathways.
Lead high-quality gate reviews focused on decisions and readiness, not routine status updates; document approvals, conditions, owners, and formal closure.
Maintain a concise gate decision record covering evidence, approvals, conditions, decisions locked or left open, exceptions, and accountable owners; follow conditional approvals through closure.
Develop and maintain practical standards for decisions that become locked at each gate, including clear controls for material changes after approval.
Apply proportionate gate requirements for product variants, new flavors, pack sizes, and claims changes, based on risk and complexity rather than a one-size-fits-all process.
Identify decisions requiring executive intervention, frame options and trade-offs, and recommend an appropriate path forward.

Cross-functional Planning & Execution

Integrate NPD plans across Product Development, Packaging, Procurement, Supply Chain, Quality, Regulatory, Finance, Marketing, Retail, DTC, and International.
Establish critical-path plans, realistic functional lead times, dependencies, and clean handoffs; ensure early functional engagement before downstream commitments are made.
Maintain integrated launch baselines and forecasts; when upstream milestones slip, make the impacts on timing, scope, resources, and risk explicit for the accountable decision-maker.
Provide visibility into project status, timing, risks, competing resource demands, and launch-readiness decisions.
Partner with accountable product and functional owners to resolve gaps without displacing their technical or commercial decision authority.

Commercialization Readiness

Coordinate upstream-to-downstream requirements across formula and claims decisions, packaging specifications and qualification, artwork and labels, sourcing, master data, production, and channel launch activities.
