Product Manager leading the Electrical Installation product category to drive growth in electrical distribution and OEM channels for nVent. Engaging with partners and delivering innovative installation solutions.
About the role
- You create your squad’s vision and are responsible for defining the Northstar metrics and KPIs, which drive the team toward concrete goals and impacts.
- You are the entry point for all stakeholders in Japan, especially the Japan General Manager and Marketing Director, to help you understand the short and long-term priorities: you liaise with them to ensure your product fits perfectly into the Back Market experience.
- You are the Engineering Manager’s daily partner: you adjust priorities if needed, and your communication skills and ability to collaborate with engineers ensure our quality standards and commitments are met.
- The product management skills have no secret for you; you master the discovery steps (link with research, design, data), as well as delivery (testing and QA are part of the game!).
- You communicate clearly and regularly about the risks and impacts of your roadmap and features, knowing how to anticipate problems and dependencies to ensure a smooth delivery.
- Data is your best friend: data drives your decisions and vision… You never work without data!
Requirements
- You have strong Product Manager experience (minimum 3-4 years) and are comfortable working with Product Designers, UX researchers, and Engineering teams.
- You have product management experience in an agile environment (Scrum, Kanban, etc.), and you are able to shape product discovery and delivery according to agile principles.
- You have a good understanding of the Japanese market and, more specifically, ecommerce behaviours and trends in Japan: PayPay or Rakuten do not have any secrets for you.
- You are a brilliant communicator; your peers define you as a facilitator and leader. Your interpersonal skills will be crucial for that role to build strong relationships with stakeholders and top management.
- You have a problem-solver attitude, comfortable navigating ambiguous situations using data and putting the user at the centre of all your thoughts.
- Your native language is Japanese, and you are comfortable communicating professionally in English, as we are an international team.
- You have an analytical mind, and even better, an analytics background. Monitoring our key performance indicators / being able to define targeted increments is part of your daily life. Data is your secret weapon to better frame and measure the quality of our features and increments.
- You use common sense. You have a strategic but simple vision of your product. For you, the product must amplify the value of business expectations.
Benefits
- A mission-driven work environment where your day-to-day makes an impact on the planet. Seriously.
- Hybrid work environment, with 2 remote days a week and 1 remote work week per quarter, plus 3 flex days.
- Employee Resource Groups, including mentorship programs, comprehensive accessibility policies, and cultural competency training.
