The Opportunity
Are you a Product Manager who enjoys getting close to the market, understanding customer challenges and turning opportunities into commercially successful products?

We're partnering with an established international manufacturer with a strong reputation for innovative design, quality and technical expertise.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a specialised engineered product portfolio, with a focus on expanding market share, driving product innovation and growing the business globally.

You'll be the link between customers, engineering, manufacturing and commercial teams, influencing what products are developed, how they're positioned and where the next growth opportunities lie.

What You'll Be Doing
This is a hands-on, commercially focused product management role where you'll:
  • Own the product strategy: Develop the product roadmap and manage the full product lifecycle, from concept through to end of life.
  • Understand the market: Work closely with customers and channel partners to identify needs, market trends and new opportunities.
  • Drive innovation: Champion new product development, translating customer insights into practical, commercially viable solutions.
  • Deliver commercial results: Manage product positioning, pricing, profitability and portfolio performance.
  • Take products to market: Collaborate with sales, marketing and technical teams to support successful product launches and market growth.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who combines technical understanding with strong commercial instincts.

Ideally, you'll bring:
  • Proven product management experience with engineered, industrial or technical products.
  • Experience in manufacturing, ideally within an export-focused or international business.
  • Strong commercial acumen with an understanding of pricing, margins and market positioning.
  • The ability to work across engineering, sales and manufacturing teams and influence key stakeholders.
  • A proactive, curious approach with the confidence to challenge thinking and identify new opportunities.
A qualification in engineering, business or marketing would be advantageous.
Experience in food and beverage processing, hygienic equipment or related industries would be particularly relevant.

Why This Role?
You'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on an established product portfolio while shaping its future direction.

With international market exposure, strong technical capability behind you and the freedom to identify and drive opportunities, this is a role for someone who wants more than simply maintaining an existing product range.
