This is a newly created position offering the opportunity to take ownership of an established product portfolio and have a genuine influence on its future direction, development and growth.

You will ideally have:

  • Proven experience within switchgear, fusegear or electrical protection.

  • Strong customer-facing and commercial skills.
  • Experience working closely with R&D, engineering and manufacturing teams.

  • Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.
  • A strategic mindset combined with the ability to understand technical detail.
  • The confidence to challenge existing thinking and introduce new ideas.
  • A proactive, analytical and results-focused approach.

An engineering qualification in Electrical, Mechanical or Materials Engineering would be advantageous.

Experience with electrical standards, testing and certification would also be beneficial.

Why This Role?

This is a newly created Product Management role, giving you the opportunity to make a genuine impact rather than simply manage an established roadmap.

You will have the scope to influence decisions around:

  • Product strategy and future development
  • New product opportunities
  • Market and customer requirements
  • Portfolio growth
  • Product standardisation
  • Product lifecycle and rationalisation
