A global leader in analytical science is hiring a Product Management Manager to lead the team behind its spectroscopy consumables and chemical standards portfolio. The role is based at the company's long-established Melbourne site, and the portfolio supports laboratories around the world across semiconductor, chemical, environmental, mining and industrial markets. This is a genuine leadership appointment, reporting directly to the divisional AVP. You'll own the portfolio's direction and commercial results, and lead the team that takes it to market.
About the opportunity
The role involves accountability for the portfolio's pricing, positioning, roadmap, lifecycle and revenue. You'll lead a small, capable team spread across Australia, Europe and the United States, made up of product managers and an application scientist. Your job is to bring them together, set the team's rhythm and keep the portfolio moving forward.
Day to day, you will:
- Set portfolio strategy, including pricing, messaging, positioning and configuration, to meet financial and growth targets
- Lead and coach a geographically dispersed team
- Run voice-of-customer, market research and competitive analysis to shape the roadmap and uncover new opportunities
- Work with R&D on new product introduction timelines, and with the global spectroscopy instruments division
- Partner with marketing communications on global lead generation
- Build the sales training and enablement programs that help the global sales team position the portfolio
- Work with worldwide sales on funnel and forecast management
- Represent the portfolio at conferences, workshops and customer sites
About you
- Inbound product management experience, not just outbound: voice of customer, specifications, R&D collaboration, pricing, sales enablement and lifecycle management from launch to sunset
- Spectroscopy domain knowledge is the priority, whether gained in a product role or hands-on as a scientist or user (for example ICP-OES, ICP-MS, AAS or XRF)
- Experience in applied markets such as semiconductor, chemical analysis, environmental or mining will put you at the front of the queue
- Proven people leadership, which is non-negotiable
- The maturity to work across a matrixed organisation
- A tertiary qualification in analytical chemistry or a related discipline; a Master's or PhD is preferred
- Excellent written, verbal and presentation skills for internal stakeholders, customers and conference audiences
- Comfort working across time zones
- Candidates with a strong commercial or outbound marketing background will be considered where their spectroscopy expertise is genuinely deep
- Scientists and technical leaders with hands-on experience using spectroscopy in a laboratory or R&D setting, combined with strong product management or new product introduction experience, will also be considered
Based in Mulgrave with a minimum of three days a week on site, and flexibility on hours. This role can't be performed remotely or from interstate, because being close to the global spectroscopy R&D group on site is a deliberate part of the design. Interstate applicants should be prepared to relocate to Melbourne.
