Job Description:
Location: Manchester | Contract: Permanent
At Spectrum Brands, we are home to world-renowned and award-winning brands like Remington, Russell Hobbs, and PowerXL. We are passionate about innovation, quality, and bringing best-in-class products to market across the globe.
We are not a software or tech company - this is a consumer product role, ideal for someone who is excited by physical product development, category management, and launching products into retail or eCommerce markets.
With exciting growth plans underway, we’re looking for a Junior Product Manager to support the global product and marketing teams as we develop, launch, and manage small domestic appliances and personal care products.
The Role
Global Product Strategy & Category Management
* Assist in maintaining and updating global product roadmaps for our Home & Personal Care categories
* Monitor market trends and competitor activity to help identify opportunities for growth
* Support regional teams with product data and insights to ensure local market alignment
New Product Development (NPD) Support
* Coordinate and track progress of NPD projects through the internal Stage Gate process
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Supply Chain, Sourcing, Engineering, Brand, Compliance) to ensure timelines and quality targets are met
* Help manage packaging development, instruction manuals, and product data for market readiness
* Work with the Brand team to support the creation of marketing content and product messaging
* Assist in preparing presentations, product sell-in decks, and competitor benchmarking tools
* Support the commercial team with promotional planning and pricing analysis
About you
We’re seeking creative, commercially minded individuals with:
* 1–3 years’ experience in a product, marketing, category, or project support role (or a relevant internship/placement)
* A degree in Marketing, Business, Product Design, or a related field
* Proficiency in Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Outlook)
* A passion for consumer goods, product innovation, and global business
We’re looking for someone who is highly organised, proactive, and eager to learn, with a strong desire to grow in a fast-paced, global business. You’ll be a confident communicator who enjoys building relationships and working collaboratively with teams across different functions and regions. Your approach will be analytical and detail-focused, with a natural commercial mindset that helps you understand what drives product success. You’ll also be comfortable managing multiple projects at once, staying calm under pressure and adapting to changing priorities with ease.
Experience in FMCG or small domestic appliances is a bonus, but not essential. Additional language skills and experience working with international teams (especially in the US and China) would also be beneficial
Why Join Us
At Spectrum Brands, you’ll be part of a collaborative and innovative team working on products people love. This role offers a fantastic platform to build a career in product management, with the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, contribute to real-world projects, and progress in a global organisation that values talent and initiative.
If you're ready to start your journey in product management and make an impact with globally recognised brands, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now!

* Company Pension
