Product Manager (Global Product Portfolio)
We are working exclusively with a global, market-leading organisation headquartered in the UK, seeking to recruit a Product Manager to take strategic ownership of a specialist product portfolio.
This is a varied, high-impact role where no two days are the same. You may begin by reviewing market intelligence and responding to technical or product-related queries, then collaborate with R&D and Marketing on roadmap and portfolio decisions. Later, you might engage with external experts, gather field feedback, or prepare presentations for major international conferences - all while supporting regional teams across global markets.
As the subject matter expert for a defined product area, you will drive product strategy, innovation, and lifecycle decisions through deep market, customer, and commercial insight. You will work closely with customers, internal teams, external partners, and industry influencers to shape product direction, support innovation, and influence broader market trends.
This role suits someone who is autonomous, commercially minded, and highly collaborative. There is a significant amount of international travel involved, including customer visits and representing the business at exhibitions, trade shows, and forums.
This is a growth role within an organisation offering a highly competitive salary and an extensive benefits package. You will be based at the UK headquarters near Cambridge up to three days per week when not travelling or visiting customers.
