JOB DESCRIPTION

About the role

We are hiring a Product Manager to own the strategy, roadmap and commercial success of a line of hygienic sensors and instrumentation for the food, beverage and life sciences industries. You will turn customer and market insight into clear product requirements, work hand in hand with engineering to bring products to market, and equip sales to win. This role suits someone who is equally comfortable on a plant floor talking with a process engineer and in a business review defending a product's P&L.

What you'll do

Own the product roadmap for your portfolio, balancing customer needs, technical feasibility and business return
Build business cases for new products and enhancements, including market size, pricing, margin and launch forecasts
Gather voice-of-customer input through site visits, interviews and work with sales and application engineers
Write clear market and product requirements, and prioritize them with engineering through each development phase
Lead product launches end to end: positioning, pricing, sales training, documentation and marketing materials
Track portfolio performance (revenue, margin, quality, share) and act on what the numbers show
Manage the product lifecycle, including end-of-life decisions and transition plans
Monitor competitors, industry standards (such as EHEDG and 3-A) and regulatory trends that affect your products

What you bring

Bachelor's degree in engineering, a technical field or business
5+ years in product management, product marketing or application engineering for industrial or technical products
A track record of taking products from concept to launch
Strong financial sense: business cases, pricing and P&L ownership
Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to align engineering, sales and leadership
Willingness to travel up to 25% to customers, trade shows and our sites

Nice to have

Experience with process instrumentation, sensors or automation in food, beverage, dairy or pharmaceutical markets
Knowledge of hygienic design standards (EHEDG, 3-A, FDA) and digital connectivity technologies such as IO-Link
Familiarity with stage-gate development
MBA or equivalent business training
