How does one find someone to manage the manufacturing of new products? I have a large social platform and several prototype products, but no time to personally manage manufacturing. (alien.top)

Mostly in the title. There are several products I would like to have made which would entail slight variations on existing, widely manufactured products. As one example, moving a button to a different location and redirecting 2 wires would make the existing product serve a totally new purpose. I have about 2MM followers across social media accounts and I wonder if companies exist that manage design and communication with manufacturers for a commission of sales. That may be too much to ask considering factory retooling costs. Really I'm just not sure what a good method is for getting physical products made when I am not able to personally dedicate my time to the process. Who are the right people to start talking to?
