Due to continued growth and development of their product portfolio, they are looking to appoint an experienced Product Manager – Fusegear.

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.

This is not simply a product coordination role. You will be responsible for product strategy, portfolio management, market intelligence and product lifecycle management, working closely with customers, commercial teams, R&D, engineering, manufacturing and quality.

The Role

You will take ownership of the product portfolio across LV and MV fusegear, managing products throughout their complete lifecycle from introduction and growth through to maturity and rationalisation.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Develop and own the product strategy and portfolio roadmap.
  • Identify opportunities for new products, product variants and product improvements.

  • Conduct market and competitor analysis to understand customer requirements and market positioning.

  • Support product standardisation, engineering changes and portfolio rationalisation.

About You

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager, Product Line Manager, Portfolio Manager or Technical Product Manager who has developed their career within switchgear, fusegear, circuit protection or electrical protection products.

You will ideally have:

  • Proven experience within switchgear, fusegear or electrical protection.
  • Strong understanding of LV and MV products and their applications.
  • Experience managing a product portfolio or product line within a manufacturing environment.
  • A proven track record in product strategy and lifecycle management.
  • Experience developing product roadmaps based on customer and market requirements.
  • Strong customer-facing and commercial skills.
  • Experience working closely with R&D, engineering and manufacturing teams.
  • The ability to understand technical requirements and translate them into commercially viable product solutions.
  • Experience assessing competitors, market opportunities and product positioning.
  • 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

You will act as the link between customers and the market and the internal technical and engineering teams, helping shape the products the business takes to market.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced product professional who wants to combine technical expertise, commercial thinking and strategic product management.

Location

The role is based in Ponteland, Newcastle upon Tyne.

A strong onsite presence will be required to work effectively with R&D, engineering and manufacturing teams. Some hybrid flexibility may be considered for the right candidate, but regular attendance at the site will be required.

Interested?

If you are an experienced Product Manager with a switchgear, fusegear or electrical protection background and are looking for a role where you can genuinely influence product strategy and business growth, we would be keen to hear from you.
