Product Manager

Job Description:

We are seeking a dynamic and technical Product Manager to join our Team. In this role, you won’t just manage a portfolio; you will be the internal voice of the customer, leveraging your technical expertise to drive the development of premium products for the Electronics, Aerospace, Life Science, and Industrial markets

The Opportunity: Own the Lifecycle

As our Product Manager, you will own the full product lifecycle—from initial concept and formulation through commercialization, tactical launch, and eventual end-of-life. You will act as the bridge between market needs and technical reality, collaborating closely with R&D, Operations, Sales, and Marketing to ensure our solutions maintain a clear and strong value proposition across diverse customer segments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Growth: Develop and implement marketing and strategic product plans to meet revenue and profit targets.
• Market Intelligence: Conduct ongoing Voice of the Customer (VOC) research and innovation exercises to identify portfolio gaps and define business requirements.
• Technical Authority: Serve as the technical expert on solvent and aqueous cleaning mechanisms, contaminant removal (oils, greases, flux residues), and substrate compatibility for metals and polymers.
• Regulatory Leadership: Partner with internal teams to ensure products meet stringent industry standards, including Aviation (Boeing, Airbus), Electronics (IPC, J-STD), and environmental regulations like REACH, RoHS, and TSCA.
• Commercial Excellence: Set pricing, define global sales policies, and work with marking to create high-impact sales tools, including application notes, brochures, and web content.
• Business Model Optimization: Leverage the renowned ITW Business Model (80/20, USa, and PLS) to drive decision-making and cost savings.

What You Bring to the Team:

• Technical Foundation: A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field.
• Proven Experience: 3 to 7 years of experience in product management, applications engineering, or technical marketing within a manufacturing company environment.
• Industry Savvy: A deep understanding of industrial sales with a Business to Business focus and a passion for technology, innovation, and global market dynamics.
• Analytical Rigor: The ability to analyze segmented profit and loss statements and utilize data analytics to track business trends, unit volumes, and margins.
• Leadership Skills: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the "leadership instincts" required to drive cross-functional teams toward success.

Working Conditions & Travel:

You will join a dynamic, enthusiastic, and diverse team in a traditional office setting. This role offers the excitement of global engagement, with the ability to travel up to 20% both domestically and internationally, ranging from day trips to 10-day international excursions depending on the product lifecycle.
