Job Description
Senior Product Manager – Technical Building Products
Our client is a privately owned, international manufacturer in the construction sector, recognised for its technical systems and strong commitment to sustainability. The group operates across multiple continents with several thousand employees and has been growing rapidly, underpinned by significant investment in R&D, new production facilities and a clear ESG agenda
The business is transitioning from a centrally led model to a more empowered, regionally driven structure. A new regional leadership team is in place and has been tasked with professionalising operations, strengthening service levels and tripling regional revenues over the next few years. This includes expanding into new customer channels, improving product mix and preparing for substantial new manufacturing and logistics capacity coming on stream later in the new few years.
As part of this transformation, the company is creating a senior product leadership role to take full ownership of a strategically important portfolio of technically complex construction materials. A detailed review has highlighted the need to lift technical standards, tighten compliance and introduce a far more rigorous, market-led approach to product strategy and lifecycle management.
Reporting to the UK Marketing leader, this new Senior Product Manager will act as the expert owner for their product system in the region. They will define and execute the product vision and roadmap, leading development, optimisation, and launch projects using the group’s formal project frameworks. They will work closely with R&D, technical, operations, and sales teams, ensuring that products meet or exceed relevant performance, quality, and regulatory requirements. The role combines strategic product management, hands-on product marketing and cross-functional project leadership.
We are seeking a commercially sharp and technically credible product leader from within the building materials ecosystem, with deep experience in system-based products, strong cross-functional influence, and a proven track record of driving category performance in demanding markets. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a changing environment, helping to stabilise and then upscale a critical product area, while also supporting the development of a relatively new marketing leadership team.
The role offers the opportunity to join a values-driven, growth-focused organisation at a pivotal point: the regional strategy is clear, the investment is committed, and the product portfolio in question has significant untapped potential. For the right individual, this is a chance to take real ownership, have a visible impact on regional performance and position themselves for broader responsibility as the business continues to expand.
Candidates will ideally live in either the North West or the West Midlands.
