Senior Manager, Commercialization & Co-Manufacturing

At Torani, we’re on an exciting journey toward our $1B vision and innovation, speed, and execution matter more than ever. The Senior Manager, Commercialization & Co‑Manufacturing plays a critical role in turning ideas into reality by bridging R&D, Planning, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, and Operations, both internally and with our external co‑manufacturing partners. This role exists to ensure that new products, process changes, and growth initiatives move from concept to scalable execution with clarity, discipline, and confidence.

This is a senior individual contributor role designed for someone who thrives at the intersection of technical depth and operational execution. You bring the ability to take conceptual product ideas, theoretical designs, or strategic growth initiatives and translate them into clear, executable manufacturing processes that work on the floor. Whether onboarding a new co‑manufacturer, commercializing a new product line, or leading a transformational change initiative, you provide the structure, alignment, and leadership needed to move the business forward by anticipating downstream impacts and guiding teams toward the right decisions.

At Torani, a Certified B Corporation, we flavor more than just drinks. You’ll join a people‑first, purpose‑driven organization where collaboration, curiosity, and continuous improvement matter. This role offers the opportunity to build something meaningful and lasting, helping shape how Torani scales commercialization and co‑manufacturing as a core capability for years to come.

Commercialization Catalyst & Knowledge Hub: You helped stand up Commercialization as a clear and reliable capability at Torani by working in close partnership with the Senior Director to define how ideas move from concept to scalable execution. You clarified purpose, established operating rhythms, and created shared language so teams understood when and how to engage Commercialization to move ideas from prototype through launch with speed, clarity, and confidence.

As the work evolved, teams increasingly leaned on you as a steady partner as someone who helped navigate tradeoffs, connect perspectives across functions, and support teams in bringing new ideas to life at scale.

Co‑Manufacturing Network Strategist: You treated Torani’s co‑manufacturing network as a strategic extension of our operations, developing deep, working knowledge of partner capabilities, constraints, and growth potential. By staying close to performance data, capacity signals, and industry trends, you helped the business anticipate needs rather than react to them. You played a hands‑on role in evaluating, onboarding, and qualifying new co‑manufacturers. You ensured technical readiness, process capability, quality alignment, and supply chain integration with new co‑manufacturers before handoff into steady‑state management.

Decision Architect & Alignment Builder: You consistently helped teams move from ambiguity to direction. By understanding stakeholder priorities across R&D, Planning, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Finance, and Operations, you framed decisions in ways that surfaced real tradeoffs and downstream impacts. You translated complex inputs including technical requirements, timing constraints, cost implications, and risk into clear options leaders could act on. Your ability to anticipate concerns, test assumptions early, and build alignment reduced rework and accelerated execution.

Solutions Architect for Scalable Execution: You brought together business acumen, technical understanding, and operational experience to design solutions that scaled. Whether addressing new product commercialization, capacity constraints, or transformational process changes, you helped define requirements, scope viable options, and shape execution plans that held up on the floor. You understood when process changes required equipment, when systems or data needed to evolve, and when training or routines were the real lever.

You skillfully balanced speed, quality, cost, and risk.
