The Role of Head of Product Management

This is a new senior management role responsible for the direction and performance of the company's safety product portfolio, helping to drive both company growth and profitability.

Having understood strategic direction and key market selection, the candidate will be expected to work with the Product Management team and other relevant teams across the business to lead the development of ambitious, yet sustainable product roadmaps, before planning for and ensuring delivery to specification, time and budget.

Whilst innovative technology and new products are essential, a balance must be struck between delivering these and maintaining and growing the existing product range, which already covers multiple technologies.

Understanding of safety concerns in the commercial vehicle and mobile machinery sectors will be critical to success. Therefore, whilst an office-based role, a reasonable amount of travel to meet with customers and understand product applications will be required both in the UK and overseas.

Relationships across the business will also be vital. The creation of strong internal collaborative relationships with, especially, the Engineering, Purchasing, Sales and Marketing functions is essential.

The position includes leadership and management of a team of 4 Product Managers (3 x Senior, 1 x Junior).

  • Department Management
  • Product Roadmap Development & Management
  • Product Lifecycle Management
  • Product Sales Forecasting, Reporting & Review
  • Ad hoc projects and other activities
