This role combines traditional product management with responsibility for the company’s digital product configuration software, ensuring customers can specify, quote, and order products accurately, efficiently, and with complete confidence.

A fantastic opportunity for someone with product management experience in manufacturing, construction products, or engineered systems — particularly where products are configurable or compliance‑driven.

The Role

  • Provide competitor insight to help Sales position products effectively.

Product Lifecycle & Delivery

  • Lead development of the company’s product configuration software, continually enhancing customer experience and digital usability.
  • Ensure all product features, options, compliance data, pricing rules, and technical parameters are accurately represented within the software.
  • Manage project timelines for product onboarding, coordinating with Engineering, IT, Sales, and Operations.
  • Lead early‑stage development phases including concept briefs, commercial analysis, ROI projections, and business case creation.
  • Maintain robust product documentation including drawings, specifications, test data, and certification.
  • Act as “the voice of the customer,” ensuring decisions are informed by real market insights.
  • Contribute to long‑term product vision to support sustainable growth.

Collaboration, Communication & Support

  • Work closely with Compliance and Engineering to ensure product integrity.
  • Support Sales & Marketing with training materials, product messaging, and technical guidance.
  • Act as the internal subject matter expert for the steel door product portfolio and configuration software.

What We’re Looking For

Experience

  • Proven experience in product management, NPD, or technical product ownership within manufacturing, construction products, engineered systems, or a related field.
  • Experience working with configurable products, digital configuration tools, ERP or CPQ systems.
  • Strong understanding of technical drawings, specifications, and compliance requirements (e.g. fire standards).
  • Experience managing cross‑functional projects from concept through to launch.
  • Experience developing business cases, commercial modelling, or ROI analysis.
  • Knowledge of UK building regulations, fire standards, or door and architectural hardware markets (advantageous).

Education

  • Degree in engineering, construction, product design, or a related technical field (desirable).

Key Behaviours

  • Trust & Integrity — reliable, professional, and committed to delivering on promises.
  • Fair & Objective — able to balance competing priorities and stakeholder needs.
  • Innovative — challenges existing processes and contributes fresh ideas.
  • Passionate — energetic, engaged, and focused on product success and customer benefit.
