• Conducting competitor analysis, market mapping and consumer insight reviews

• Managing product lifecycle processes and product performance reporting

• Acting as the go-to product expert across the business

What we’re looking for:

• Experience within FMCG, consumer goods, B2B or other tangible product-led industries

• Strong product management and NPD experience

• Experience managing product portfolios and category strategy

• Commercially aware with strong analytical and insight-led decision-making skills

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with multiple stakeholders
