Product Manager - Finished Plaster Products
Are you a Product Manager with a background in manufacturing and a passion for physical products? Do you love working on strategy, market positioning, and product lifecycle? If so, we've got a fantastic opportunity for you.
We're looking for a Product Manager to join our Portfolio team, focusing on our Finish Plaster category. This is a key area of our business, responsible for some of our most strategically important product ranges, including over 20 plaster products and accessories.
You'll be working on:
- Shaping the long-term product strategy - identifying future markets opportunities, customer needs, and the sectors we want to grow in.
- Auditing and analysing product performance - from margin analysis to understanding customer satisfaction and unmet needs.
- Managing product lifecycles - identifying where products are in their life and shaping future innovation.
This is a hands-on role, perfect for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and digging into product performance, market research, and customer insights.
What we're looking for:
- Proven product management experience in manufacturing or physical products - this is not an IT or software role.
- Experience in B2B or B2C environments - construction, consumer goods, food, or similar sectors are all relevant.
- Strategic thinking, commercial awareness, and a strong understanding of product profitability.
- A team player - you'll be working closely with one other Product Manager (no direct reports).
- Regularly engage and visit our main manufacturing plant in Barrow - a Midlands base is ideal.
This is a great opportunity to work on high-impact, strategically significant product ranges and help shape the future of a key business category. If you're looking for a dynamic, strategic role in product management with real physical products, we'd love to hear from you.
