About the role

You will own the end-to-end process of bringing new products to market and managing our existing range. You will work directly with our manufacturing partners, coordinate certification and compliance across multiple jurisdictions, and partner with our brand, marketing and operations teams to make sure every product we launch is competitive on quality, cost and customer satisfaction. The role is cross-functional by design, reporting to both the Head of Marketing and the Head of Operations, giving you unusually broad visibility over how a product brand actually works.

• Work with manufacturing partners to gather technical information, product samples and production timelines

• Conduct financial and pricing analysis to model sell prices, evaluate cost structures and ensure products meet margin targets

• Monitor industry trends, competitor activity and market pricing to keep our range innovative and competitive

About you

• 5+ years in product development, technical product management or a closely related role
