PRODUCT MANAGER
Seeking an experienced Product Manager to help build and lead a newly defined upstream Product Management function within Engineering & Product Development.
This is a unique opportunity for a product leader who understands that great products start with great discovery. You will own the front end of the NPD process-translating market intelligence, consumer insights, competitive analysis, and business strategy into clear product direction that enables Engineering to execute with speed and precision.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead product discovery, market research, competitive analysis, and voice-of-customer activities
- Develop product briefs, business cases, cost models, pricing strategies, and commercial requirements
- Manage the product pipeline across 12-, 18-, and 24-month development horizons
- Partner closely with Engineering, Quality, Sales, Marketing, and Product Implementation
- Develop go-to-market strategies and commercialization plans
- Maintain strong relationships with retailers, dealers, OEM customers, and industry partners
- Analyze post-launch performance, consumer feedback, warranty data, and competitive activity to drive future product development
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of Product Management experience with physical consumer products
- Experience taking products from concept through commercial launch using a structured NPD/stage-gate process
- Strong analytical, financial modeling, market research, and competitive assessment skills
- Experience establishing cost targets and pricing strategies
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate market intelligence into actionable direction for Engineering
- RV, automotive, marine, or related aftermarket experience strongly preferred
Why Apply?
This is more than a traditional Product Manager position. You will have the opportunity to build and define a Product Management function from the ground up and play a critical role in determining which products the company brings to market and why.
