Core Competencies Required

You are a curious, positive and proactive Product Manager who enjoys being close to both the product and the people around it — customers, partners and colleagues alike.

You combine a commercial instinct with a strong sense for beauty, design, materials and brand perception. You understand that great products are experiential but also grounded in reality: they need to be well-designed, cost-efficient, manufacturable and scalable.

You feel comfortable presenting ideas to customers and senior stakeholders. You enjoy building relationships and getting things done through people, knowing when to listen, when to persuade and when to take the lead. Taking ownership comes naturally to you — you don’t just manage projects, you drive them.

You are curious, eager to learn and motivated to grow professionally. You actively look for feedback, insights and opportunities to improve — both in your products and in yourself.

At the same time, you are hands-on and pragmatic. When projects move fast or priorities shift, you are happy to roll up your sleeves and support where needed — preparing presentations, coordinating samples, following up with partners or helping push a project across the finish line.

You thrive in an international, fast-moving environment and enjoy operating at the intersection of product, design, manufacturing, brand and customer experience.

You will join a dynamic and international company where innovation and collaboration are key. In return for your commitment, you can expect an attractive and competitive salary package, complemented by a wide range of fringe benefits.

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to further develop your skills within a stable and growing organization that values both professional and personal growth. xqknzec
